Re: Do the sighted have a good representation and perception of us?
It depends.
It depends on a whole lot of factors. DO you mean right now, or throughout history, because....there were, and are religions that view disability as some sort of divine punishment. There'ss cultures that marginalize disabled people for varying reasons (Japan for example), there's no one standard of disabled throughout the world. What do I mean by that...?
Well, living in the West, you're used to having basic services. Accessible this, or that. You go to somewhere like....say......even another Western nation, and things are different. It may only be a tiny change, but there is no agreed upon universally implemented accessibility standard aroudnd the world. Oh sure you may well say I'm wrong, but.....lemme tel you something. America is *not* the world. I know. Shocking to learn that huh? Try going to Canada, you'll notice subtle differences in how disabled people are treated. Go further afield. Go to the Carribean, or Mexico,again, differences....
So, in short.....it's an impossible question to answer, Fox....because your question is so vague and broad, it's hard to pin down an answer.
