Stephen Hawking once said The only downside to being a celebrity is that I can’t go anywhere without being noticed even with a pair of dark sunglasses or a wig on, the wheelchair gives me away. Today i’m going to be talking about Ableism and why I think it shouldn’t matter about the difference of people with or without a disability . My definition of Ableism is treating disabled people differently to how we treat our own friends or others around us because they have some kind of physical or mental disability ….often we may pity someone with a difference, when in fact that's the last thing they want from us. From what I see all they want is to fit in and to be happy, as they know no different it is how they were brought up.
Do you have to write a speech this year? What would you write it about if you did have to?
