Uhm, didn't Nathaniel Hawthorne write a book in 1850 about something similar already?

Most people don't define themselves by their disability, as something to be rubbed in the face of humanity as an annoying cry for sympathy and attention.

How about seriously working on having effective communication skills so you can appropriately let people know you are having a hard time?

I am not surprised you don't know how, given your background.
But here's the thing: you are an adult and can choose to learn.
It may take you longer to learn but I do believe you are capable if you have the willingness.
That too, is a choice.
You can choose to be willing.
You can choose to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
You can choose not to live by default (not to allow yourself to live by other people's choices because you won't make your own).

You may not have had choices when you were younger, but you do have choices now.

You don't need gimmicks.
You need tools.
And the willingness to ask for them... and use them.

I don't know who you're replying to, but what does that have to do with a way to handle the issue that comes up when people are, say deaf, and people do not realize and do not know to get their attention first?


It's kind of a cute idea.

I certainly would have a shirt that says wearing ear plugs can't hear you , get attention first, if i went out wearing ear plugs cuz some places bug the shit out of me with the canned noise they think makes ambiance.

Most people with disabilties don't care to announce them to the world. They make it known when necessary.

I have a physical disability although it isn't visably noticable. I wouldn't wear a shirt announcing it.



littlewonder -> RE: I thought of a cute idea for disabled people to let people know easily the d if they wish (2/7/2014 9:35:12 PM)

Instead of wasting all this time coming up with gimmicks, why not waste it on finding resources and getting help?

I spend all day getting help put into place, I been to the dr 5 times, talked to the pych dr twice, been to SSI office once, Cleaned house every day, took recycling to the DC metals, evening, or early morning is my down time to post what ever stupid shit i want.

It comes across the boards finally at what ever odd hour the mods approve my post.


I'm on moderation while I am raw over the break up with Jamesz and to mke sure that im not doing more harm than good by replying to threads that get heated.

Same here. If I need to tell someone I will.

I used to wear what I called attitude shirts. 'PMS'ing, do you dare?' 'I'll be nicer when you are smarter' My fav. However, I would not wear a shirt that said anything about my illness or disability. That might seem to assist some that don't get it... but if you talk to someone that cannot hear you, you will either think they can't hear you or are ignoring you. I can't see any of my friends that were deaf, wearing one. They carry a tactful card if something was needed.

To advertise what society may see as a weakness can make you prey to the not so wonderful that are out there. I wouldn't advise it. Haven't you heard of people in wheel chairs being tossed out of them and their chairs stolen? How about the statistics on the disabled being victims. That can be an eye opener.

Don't point it out if you are vulnerable in public.

I don't think I need to add anything else.



DesFIP -> RE: I thought of a cute idea for disabled people to let people know easily the d if they wish (2/8/2014 12:18:30 PM)

Sure, I should wear a tee shirt that explains my physical disability, so potential muggers will know ahead of time that I'm a good victim.



Rawni -> RE: I thought of a cute idea for disabled people to let people know easily the d if they wish (2/8/2014 12:20:51 PM)

LOL Des... I saw that scroll by and that almost sounded kinky. (Good Victim) [;)]



Missokyst -> RE: I thought of a cute idea for disabled people to let people know easily the d if they wish (2/8/2014 12:21:34 PM)

LMAO.... another keyboard ruining by ill-timed CM perusal.
