Hidden disabilities and society.!!!!!

So as must of you all know on Saturday I went to Jess Glynne for my birthday at Doncaster Racecourse.

I have to say that I have never been to a Racecourse were I felt disabled had received the crumbs.  No I’m not saying V.I.P treatment but a little bit of a understanding.

While enjoying our night I was targeted for the fact I had a chair and he didn’t.  The comments started with she wont give me the chair and his wife stating just go grab it. So rather than reacte I place my leg on the chair as the chair was empty due to my auntie visiting the ladies.

On placing my leg on the chair the comment come ‘the fat cow would rather place her leg on the chair than give it me’. Due to me having a few drinks I reacted with frustration stating I have autism and the chair is my carers so think before you judge.  This led to further barrel of abuse as I dont look disabled including other member of the public who stated he would punch me straight down them stairs and called my auntie scum. I was also told my life is easy compared to some.

The abuse didn’t bother me as I am use to this as I have faced it all my life been the odd one out and not like the rest.  To be honest I don’t need to be like every one else as I’m happy with my life and my bubble .

What frustrates me most is because I have a hidden disability people think I’m a benefit scum  even though I work and doing a degree.

The fact is that they know nothing about me and if you did would understand my life is not easy. People can have pain relief or a new bone replacement but people like me cant book in for a new brain. Society is too quick to judge and this frustrates me because one of the woman who judge works with the local authority and should know better as she works with the community.

It is time society stop judging because were not all the same but the issue is the paper’s and news slag people off who are on benefits and decide that everyone is a benefit cheat and fake disabilities but this is not  true.  I wish the paper’s and news would show how people with hidden disabilities survive a day and how hard work my days are and how tiring it is.
