I have Cerebral Palsy and Hydrocephalus But this does not mean that I am stupid.

In recent years I have been abused on social media and in person because I have a disability.

Just because I have a disability it doesn’t mean that I do not have a brain and it upsets me a lot when I am abused because of this.

I accept that I am going to be a victim of peoples ignorance because people struggle to know how to act around disabled people.

I am fed up of feeling like rubbish because of the abuse that I face time and time again.

In 2016 I made it my mission to visit schools and educate young people about what is and isn’t acceptable to say to the disabled community.

I hope that this work has gone a little bit of the way to help young people consider there words and actions and who they might affect.

I struggle when writing these types of blogs because they are are upsetting to write because I am reflecting on real life experiences.

I am seeing that young people are listening to the messages that I am telling them when I visit schools and this is very important to me.

I am planning to continue this mission for many years to come as I know that it is a very important one.

As always I would like to end my blog by thanking my readers because without you I wouldn’t have in support of the general public.
