The June 6, 2009 along with three dear friends, I participated as a speaker at the round table organized in Milan seulla disability from the festival of literature and society. A very exciting event for the delicate issue and the fact that it was the first experience behind a microphone. The other three speakers were journalist Claudio Arrigoni sports, Antonella Ferrari-theater actress and television with multiple sclerosis and Antonio Malafarina-expert in the field of disability. My surgery was in particular on young disabled people and their relationship with the company ...
"I believe that young people with disabilities have the desire to be seen first as people and instead too often are viewed only as sick.
There is a deep desire that people get to know the young disabled person in question. scoietà That certainly understand that disability is an indispensable part of a person but not the whole there is more emotions, feelings, ideals, projects ... and that is what young disabled people want a change. The company should focus on what each of them is able to give their spare capacity rather than their limitations. Without losing sight, of course. A disabled person would like people to understand that it has exactly the same needs as any other disability. Get out, go to the movies, eat pizza, have a drink with friends. But the life of a young disabled man is made of rehabilitation, therapy, in combination moments ...
Young people with disabilities and others, all disabled people in general expect a change from the company culture. Being accepted. Without being looked at with pity: pity offense. Being part of society means for them to have the same chances as non-disabled peers, in the workplace, but also in sports entertainment. This means making the environment and put a young ACCESS disabilities to move by itself with the means. There is a deep desire not to be watched every time you go to a local and maybe even indicated with his finger. This happens especially in schools because there is misinformation. We talk you alcohol, smoking, drugs, but little or no disability.
Too many are the places where the disabled person spends all his time with another disability. All there in a center for disabled people, rolled, packed like sardines, confined to themselves, ghetto! We need to step outside the boundaries of everyday life and a relationship between man and man which is often lacking for the disabled person is missing as the comparison with peers. How many things are missing. "
