Like many others I didn't understand why people with disabilities got insulted when they were told that they were disabled. Now that I have seen the video with Amiee Mullins I understand why they get insulted for being called disabled. Saying that a person is disabled is like telling them that they’re useless and can’t do anything, which is not the case for people with disabilities. In many occasions they have to be creative in order to overcome a physical obstacle that they must face. This is something that is very important in life and in our society. Having said that, this doesn't make them more special than any other person because each and every one of us faces many obstacles in life and we all find different ways to face these obstacles. Therefore, people with disabilities should be treated as equals and we should all be conscious about how important it is to say or write it correctly because it can make a great impact.
