-see people with disabilities as humans in their own right.

-understand the process of their work and let them represent their experiences in the way they want

-listen to stories from different perspectives, don't allow your perception to be shaped by only what big organizations have to say

(Reid, 2017; Reid, 2012)

People trivialize crip arts by assuming that it only represents "stories of healing and pathology". But people are more than their disabilities and they have things to say too.

(Reid, 2017)

"The human image has been subjected to all manners of manipulation in an attempt to create an ideal that does not seem to have a human incarnation" - Nancy Etcoff

Not a disability who happens to be a person, but a person who happens to have a disabilty.

(Fries, 2004)

Assumption: Disability is a medical problem. People need to spend their lives getting rid of their disability.

Reality: disability is a social problem, we need to remove barriers in the environment, not the disability

HOW DO PEOPLE SEE DISABILITY?

# data[].attributes.body
"It's not courage...it's my life."

It is destructive to characterize a person by their disability.

(Reid, 2012)

labels are used to make people living with disabilities look weak and inferior

# data[].attributes.body
Personal stories are being mined to advertise mental health services and products. Stories have become commodities.
"I was cured by medicine X, it changed my life."

They imply that mental illness is a biological problem that can be fixed with drugs at the individual level, rather than a social problem that needs to be recognized by everyone.

Change the power structure. We need to put disabled people in positions of power and include them in decision-making processes. Let them run the show. Take things from their point of view.
