Who is wrong? Is it you for not fitting into what I think is right?
No, I don´t think so...
You are able to think by yourself, express using diverse methods and your understanding is so particular it intrigues me...
No, it is not you...
Is it me? What could be wrong with me?
I went to school and apparently was able to succed,
I changed those ways the adults thoughts: "That will not make you succeed"
I even changed some childhood dreams for "A better future, a job that will make you live and eat".
We both were stripped at some point of important things and parts of us,
just that you are fighting to keep them,
and I just surrendered to "what is right".
So... who is wrong?
Maybe it's not you and neither me,
maybe just the world needs to see,
that some heart is missing here.

And let me know your thoughts, maybe it is just like Stephanie said, we are all born with abilities and weaknesses, and persons with disabilities also have them. Maybe it is a matter of perspective.

Hello guys, I sincerely apologize for the lack of video, I had some issues in using the recording camera directly with padlet and it was not uploading as quick, so I changed to audio, and it took even longer to I will write down my reflections and questions.
So I was expressing that I feel slightly troubled. Why?
Well because after listening to the perspectives of the professionals, after hearing what I thought I knew of autism, the levels of severity, usually one would think that the more severe the less able a person with ASD is able to communicate and I was shocked to listed to this adult woman expressing herself so correctly and professionally regarding her independence in advocacy and how other persons without ASD are not able to fully express their actual needs.
That made me question my own professional practice as special educator, wondering if maybe I am making my students codependent.
Also, I really thought that maybe as society we are failing because we follow the norms and rules that a certain specific group has casted upon us, and these wonderful human beings have their own native language and understanding of the world and it is wonderful, unfortunately is is usually considered not desirable for our society, so if they are able to learn our way of communication and try to include us, why do we keep labeling them as non working or deficient when we have been deficient in trying to understand they neurodivergence and forcing them to fit in our shape of the world when they just have a shape of their own?
Three main question are left behind for me.
Firstly, am I listening enough? I mean my students, their real desires and needs according to what their hopes and dreams are, not their parents and what they think is better for them (which is usually easier for them but not what the actual student really wants and needs) and neither the professionals that just care about statistics and see our students as a fixable being.
Second, am I doing and giving the righteous support? Like I have stated before, this is not a recipe that must be followed equally for everyone, students have different backgrounds and, therefore will need different systems of support.
And last, am I documented enough to serve my community? Truth to be told is that, no matter how much I read, I think we are never well prepared or documented and therefore we need to be in a constant change so we can serve the best we can.

In this picture we see a preacher reflecting the main idea of the religious model, where the disability is seen as some sort of punishment o negative situation in the person´s life.

Here we can see a clear example of how here the therapist wants to "fix" Humpty Dumpty´s legs. Clearly we can see the intention of the model where the professional has identifyed the impairment and limitation of Humpty and now must go though a process of actions to improve.

Here we can clearly say, by the way they have the person in wheelchair inside a cube and in quarintine how this persons perceive the problem being the disabled person itself and it´s limitations, so they must be helped to overcome such.

A little past minute 11 you will be able to see the story of a young woman with Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome and how this whole Teleton show, which is super famous in Mexico, airs every year as a way of evading taxes from a TV company and how they use the sensitivity of persons to lead them to donate for the cause and benefit at some point the Teleton rehabilitation clinics in Mexico. I apologize it is not in english.

Views disability as consequence of environmental, social and attitudinal barriers that prevent people with impairments from maximum participation in society. Here we see reflected that the social model would see the difficulty of the person in wheelchairs to get up the stairs and they would see the difficulty in the infrastructure and design, not in the person with disabilities.

This model is defined by a person´s inability to participate in work and 🤬 the degree to which impairment affect an individual´s productivity and the economic consequences for the individual, employer and state.
Here we see in in a very black humor and ironic kind of way how a person with disability was denied of the Disability benefit because well, apparently he may be productive in a very strange type of work he might not have considered before, the comic strip explains itself.
