On being
handicapped
by Elajnfik Townshenci
Return from Manitoulin
To keep track of,people in society, we place
them under neat little labels. Th&category I
belong to is called "physically handicapped."
'Not so many years ago, being handicapped
was considered a shameful ihing. Some
parents tried to hide their handicapped
children, partly to protect them from a cruel
world and partly to cover up the disgrace.
Handicapped people were doomed to lives of
isolation, poverty and uselessness. They were
thought to be helpless, and they could only
rely on the people and institutions that took
care of them. Handicapped people were
objects of pity.
My only comment is "Built"
Handicapped people are "people". They
have purposes•and places in this world or they
wouldn't be here. Although they function in
unique ways, they achieve the same results as ,
non-handicapped persons - a fact that amazes
most of the latter. Handicapped people need
some special things, but one thing they do not
need is. pity.
Apparently, I caused quite a stir in Clinton,
when I was born without arms. The doctor told
my parents when one thing is missing
something else is usually missing too. He
couldn't give them a definite physical and
mental prognosis until I was six months old.
Incidentally, he gave me a clean bill of mental
h ealth, but some people are still suspicious.
When I was a child, my parents didn't try to
hide me, but they didn't push me into the
world either. Being a stubborn kid, I would
only have pushed back ,..As I matured, they let
me make my own decisions, and in whatever I
attempted, they supported me.
People wondered how I would manage.
Fortunately, using my feet instead of hands
10.
came naturally to me, and I have discovered a
way to do everything. Independence is one of
the blessings I value most highly.
I have* been asked "Do you ever wish you
had arms?" It seems like a stupid question,
but my answer might surprise you. Of course,
there were times, especially as a child and a
teenager that I wished I had. Don't we all
tend to want things we don't have?
In the last few years, lye developed a
different philosophy. First, dhandicap can be
a problem. Does anyone go through life
without problems? If I had been born with
arms, I might have been saddled with other
trouble much more difficult to handle.
Secondly, if I was not handicapped, there
are many super people I would probably have
never met and emotions I would have never
experienced. •
Thirdly, I would probably be un*vare of the
exciting revolution that is taking place in the
sphere of the physically handicapped. The
demeaning attitudes 1 mentioned at the
beginning are. changing, mainly because a lot
of handicapped people are proving they were
wrong. These leaders are opening doors for
themselves and for the rest of us.
0^ I realize I have been fortunate; I believe it is,
easier for those of us who are born with the
label "physically handicapped", than for
those who suddenly find themselves' thriist
into it. Some of us don't have to make physical
adjustments, but most of us have.to achieve
psychological ones. We must accept ourselves
'before we can expect others to accept us.
We must also realize that being
handicapped is not shameful, hopeless or
pitiful, and so must "non-handicapped"
persons.
