Something as simple as maintaining eye-contact in a job interview is physically impossible for people with various forms of autism.
Disabled people are treated socially as lazy, good for nothing, scroungers... When in reality they CANT work so they need some form of living income.
People in wheelchairs are discriminated against because the companies need extra support, therefore employers choose not to employ them for some other reason, often trivial, just so they don't have to be concerned with a lawsuit if they don't provide said extra support.
Also I completely agree with the woman at the end, disabled people aren't devoid of emotions and ambitions, they aren't "happy" to sit around doing nothing with their lives, they WANT to do more for society and they WANT to get out into the world and achieve their goals like every other person... They just have bigger obstacles in their way and need help from others.
By all means, if you help disabled people and they aren't grateful, then feel free to choose not to help them further, but until you try to actually help them get from point A to point B, which even sometimes includes doing everything they cant do for them, acting like all disabled people are forgettable is extremely insensitive, EVERYONE needs help from someone else at some point in their lives, just because disabled or people with mental health issues need help with different types of things, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be valued as people just like everyone else.
Definitely harder but not physically impossible. Direct eye contact in most non-western countries is simply not done because its biologically stressful to us all as innately, we see it as a primal threat. Instead, people just generally look around the face and chest.
“The disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition is the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.”
~Adam Smith, Scottish political economist (1723-1790)
So true..... UK hates disabled people! I 100% can confirm that!
My respect for all the people that work with disabled people and for all people that do something for others in need!
I struggle to put food on the table every single day and currently care for a severely disabled person for free, because the UK's gov is too busy sending money and weapons to the Ukraine war.
Shame to all politicians and leaders from all countries! They are all a disgrace and bring shame to humanity!
Disabled people have been excluded by the London major.They have been excluded from travel by refusal to make tickets available to blind disabled. He needs to go to prision.
Forr some disabled who have learning disability. It is so sad many have no friends sadly.
Did they just say 11 million disabled people?
I am disabled a firearm owner a forestry worker and a free range hen keeper and I want to get solar panels and I also want to plant trees and my little baby was killed because of the Dunblane cover up and lies. So I get treated like dog shit by the Government ! ! :(
Sorry to hear, you've seen the worst side of these atrocious ppl ❤️🏆
@@finjay21fj Thank you.
IF channel four news are SO "concerned" about disability then WHY do they always COMPLETELY IGNORE me whenever I try writing to them about folk disabled like me? Disability, as I've said SO many times is NOT all "white sticks and wheelchairs" for the umpteen billionth time!
I don't know but your in the UK
They run a mandate, business. We're just a news item they can cover and then they can move on to another sensitive issue. Ppl like us are just promotional material to ppl like them, sadly, and also the government who are supposed to serve, not rule, their voting electorate.
@@koalafromtomorrow5656 what did that mean? 🤔
No-ones home is a place of work unless it's a lifestyle choice. The gov are our servant, not ppl theirs.
It's not just a access it's a systematic attack &I meen systematic,And nobody fights especially the news
It is true, you do feel like an afterthought... some kind of optional luxury extra if you are catered for at all.
My friend of over 10 years is chair bound. I never hear her complain ever.
And?
We stay at home because dose not fit for us

NOT EVERYONE HAS A REAL DISABILITY WHICH RUINS IT FOR GENUINE DISABLED

@@ibraheemhussain5013 Hi you asked what a REAL disability was. Well let me tell you what IS NOT a disability. Depressed and anxiety. Unless you have been in the armed forces and have PTSD. Or have had a truely horrific accident. But people must be reviewed every year. Being a a drug addict or alcohol or having a smoking related illness does NOT quality you as desabled!
I have great sympathy for those with genuine disabilities, but there surely must be an equation between the cost of provision and the benefit. If it costs ten million pounds to fit out a station with ramps and lifts in order to provide access for a dozen people per day, I don't consider that a reasonable use of public funds (which most disabled peole do not contribute to), when that same money could be used to provide medical care for 100,000 people with life threatening conditions.
I realise it's cold, but that's the nature of triage in a society that has limited funds, and more demands upon those funds than there are funds.
Perhaps if the money being wrung out of EVERY venue was instead invested in researching mobility devices that freed disabled people from the NEED for special ramps and elevators it might provide a good long term solution.
Or maybe we could end austerity
I am a disabled person who doesn't want simperthy but sadly have to agree with you as we live in a country that builds new infrastructures and even Nobile apps that are not accessible to the handicapped even though most adaptations could be put in to pace during the design and building stages at a very low cost.
when you talk of putting the money in to devices that could help us disabled negotiate social obstacles this too would involve a cost too. I am of the opinion that people such as myself who have out lived their families should be offered voluntary euthanasia as in that way we would not be a burden on society or ourselves. Bring back positive ugenics.
Carol Thecat how dare you label me a burden! i’m am nothing of the sort! i think you need to have a word with yourself!!!! jesus CHRIST.
@@dreamlessdemand If you are completely dependent on other people to survive, then you ARE a burden. You are a drain on resources. Other people have to give up their time and money to keep you alive. You live in a society that values you highly enough to do so, and that's great. It doesn't mean you have no value, but there is no definition of the word "burden" where a fully dependent person does not meet that definition. Having to spend tens of thousands or even millions to build lifts and ramps for the tiny minority of people who need them is burdensome. Having to widen doors is burdensome. Having to allocate full time carers is massively burdensome. If you don't recognise that, perhaps YOU are the one with entitlement issues. You should be infinitely grateful that you live in a society that values individual lives so highly that they compromise the wellbeing of many others, and even sacrifice other lives to support you. J thinks s/he should have the right to end his/her life. That's his/her right to feel that way. You don't feel that way and that's also fine. You are entitled to your opinion. Just not your own facts.
The problem is, is that disabilities no fault of the person themselves. Yet the state and society at large feels like they have to punish the disabled for being a drain on society for something they cant help. Imagine you were born disabled and treated as a second class citizen, lazy, etc. You would consider it to be unfair. The disabled are not entitled.
