Hey Dude,
Here is your answer!!!!
One thing we need to encourage in the disability social change space, it's empathy in place of sympathy. The tricky thing is that people think they can't understand the experience of disability or, at the very least, if they think they can, they believe it is inherently negative. Of course, it isn't, it's just more unique. And so back we come to sympathy. sympathy seeking", where people imply "my situation is worse than everyone else's." Of course, not all sympathy seekers are disabled and not all disabled people are sympathy seekers. But because sympathy is a kind of default response to disability, disabled people in particular need to steer real clear of sympathy seeking if we ever want to see meaningful change. The key to empathy is that everyone knows how it is to experience emotions – happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, loneliness etc. And disabled people feel the same range of emotions as anyone else. So, with that in mind, crucial to disability change is to help everyone connect with the understanding of the range of emotions evoked by the experience of disability, rather than the few with which most people associate it, namely fear and sadness.
Hope it helps you!
