Attention to the man who death stared me as I got into my car parked in a disabled spot today. Your scowl achieved nothing besides scaring me.

Some of the time now, I’m not in my wheelchair when I go out. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. That it doesn’t wear me down. That my muscles don’t fatigue. Not all disabilities are visible. I spent 6 years using a wheelchair to mobilise completely. My disability is still as valid now as it was then.

We’re not shown this potentially invisible side to disability much, so I’ll give you a pass.

Here’s an artwork to remind everyone:

Daniel Radcliffe talking about his old stunt double, David Holmes, who was severely injured during a stunt on the HP films

i didn’t know about this…

David’s story is actually one I haven’t seen mentioned often and it really should be:

David Holmes was Daniel’s stunt double for the first six Harry Potter movies, and he was set to be his stunt double for the final two movies, but while testing out a flying stunt (famous for being a very dangerous stunt in itself) for Deathly Hallows Part I, he was thrown against a wall, and fractured his neck. The incident left him paralysed for life from the chest down, with only limited movement within his arms and hands. Basically, he never let his disability affect his life, and he’s become an Appeal Ambassador for RNOH, the largest orthopaedic hospital in the UK, and he launched Ripple Production company with two friends who are also tetraplegic, specifically releasing several podcasts aimed at people who have suffered similar injuries and allowing them to cope.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! It may be hard to comprehend that some people had a life before the wheelchair. You only come to learn that when it happens to you or someone you know. My defining feature at the present time to people who don't know me is my wheelchair, but there is more to me and I encourage people to look past the wheelchair!
