Listen "human diversity"
Episode Synopsis
- Disability is not abnormality but can cause a profound sense of alienation.- It is a dimension of human diversity, similar to race, ability, and gender.- People with disabilities have the same inherent normalcy and contribute unique skills and perspectives.- Acquiring a disability involves navigating complex psychological changes and societal responses.- For those who become disabled later in life, identity is layered, encompassing both pre- and post-disability experiences.- External societal reactions can significantly influence an individual's sense of self.- Chronic societal stressors can constrain mental resources, affecting perceptions of normalcy.- The main challenge is societal adaptation to diversity, not the disability itself.- Building inclusive communities requires recognizing and addressing these psychological and social dynamics.
