Disabled People in the Media

 With the winter premiere of ABC Family's Switched at Birth, I Thought that I would post about disabled people in the media.  I find this show incredibly interesting, it tells the story of Bay and Daphne, these two young girls were what else, switched at birth.  Daphne is a deaf person who doesn't seem to let anything bother her.  Well, aside from normal teenage girl problems!  I love the fact that networks are raising awareness about disabilities.  I want to see way more! Switched at Birth is the only show that I know of where one of the main characters has a disability. It would be so awesome if there was a show about a person who had multiple disabilities or exceptionalities. That way, some people with disabilities would feel that they could relate to, or idolize someone who goes through some of the same things that they do.  I know from experience that it can sometimes be difficult to relate to people simply because they do not understand what I am going through.  I also believe that it would do wonders for other disabled people and "normal" alike because it would show them that their situation could be a lot worse, and things happen for a reason.  It is all about how we deal with it, and triumph through the bad circumstances that we have been given.  I am a firm believe in the statement, "We all have a purpose in our lives, it is our destiny to find out what it is!"
Until next time.
