I just saw the following status on Facebook:

People must understand that children with disabilities do not have a disease; children with disabilities are not looking for a cure but acceptance........93% of people won't copy and paste this, Will you be one of the 7% that does............... and make this your status for at least an hour?

I did copy it to my status, unchanged... I realise, though, that the message really should be expanded, as follows:

People must understand that people with disabilities do not have a disease; people with disabilities are not looking for a cure but acceptance........

Although I agree with having quite a lot of focus on children, I don't want to forget all the grownups with disabilities that are asking for the same thing, to be accepted for who they are. It's an important message to repeat, over and over, until people get it.
