I have twin boys and I am a single parent raising my sons on my own and they both have a disability and they don’t think I can do it on my own but in reality I can
My state (that is New Hampshire) was the first to close theirs 33 years ago. They threw my group out into the community without great policies, and so many aren’t doing well but the people in charge and the parents groups (the most important) are really complacent and complicit of the trauma of community based supports. So not all these post-institutionalized states have done it right
It’s extremely upsetting that we live in a country that has the capability to help people with mental and physical disabilities and the government and states don’t do enough. I know this because I have a young adult daughter with autism and I’m disabled myself. 😠😔😠
That's the problem. Disability rights advocates "put the cart before the horse". Institutions were closed down without enough resources to replace them. Where do these people go if they don't make it in the community for whatever reason?
This is pure gaslighting. Some people are STRUGGLING to find a place for their loved one that they can't take care of anymore and their isn't anywhere. "Oh, you don't wanna put them somewhere do you???"
Aren’t you people supposed to be journalists? Too cheap to hire staff who can write properly? FYI, there is no apostrophe after the word Disabilities in your video title. 🙄
@@ns2110theonly I guess interns do graphics too. Because it was in the intro. regardless. As I said before it’s a group in plural sense. If you know a thing or two of the US English you’d get it
Before you decide to have intercourse, think about the consequences, lots of kids require lifetime care, expecting the government to take care of your kids is dumb
I am an adult with disabilities and medical issues due to a genetic disorder. I do require lifelong care. I’m lucky to have parents who care for me. My mom used to work with people with disabilities at an institution. That is how she knows how to help me. I live with my mom in the community. Finally about five years ago I finally got services. I’m finally getting the supports I need at my day program for adults with Autism. I’m getting supports as well in my home twice a week. I love my DSP! We call our DSP’s personal supports.i’m thriving now! We want to be treated like everyone else. Being in the community is the best for me.
@@PinkHawk191 I appreciate you opening up to your needs! Almost everywhere there’s a DSP shortage and in my state is capped at $20 an hour and these people need to have a better wage because the work they do isn’t comparable to an uber driver. There needs to be more awareness… and sadly not enough people are aware of my group and your group as well. I’m glad you have a nice DSP.
@@HopelessAutistic I’m a disability self advocate. I try to make my local and federal lawmakers aware of our situation and how our DSP’s don’t get paid enough. The only response I have gotten is that when bills with that issue come up they will keep people like us in mind. It feels like they don’t care. I wrote to my new congressman since I moved to a new area of my state. I haven’t heard back from him yet which is really disappointing and frustrating.
As a society and taxpayers, it is our obligation to help the Americans with disabilities.
“We are not broken people in a normal world, we are normal people in a broken world.” Amen.

It’s a collective noun as the group having possession to their own rights
Yep they have interns maintaining these UA-cam channels who can barely speak let alone type in English
