You look at me but you don’t see me.
You speak to me but you talk down to me.
Have you ever felt like a prisoner in your own body?
I have a soul that yearns, a heart that beats, a mind that thinks,
But you only notice the legs that don’t work, the chair that I’m bound in, the speech that is slurred!
I’m a person too,
I’m sick and tired of being overlooked,
You will hear my voice,
I won’t be ignored!

The main question that people think about is “How do I tell someone that I have a disability”?

Do they date on disabled-only Websites like Disabilitydates? Do they mention their disability in their personal ads?Choosing whom to tell or not tell is a personal choice. I believe the best approach is to trust your instinct, not your fears. I know several online daters with some type of physical disability or medical condition, and some of them choose to reveal their disability in their profiles and others don’t.



Be clear in your mind of what kind of relationship you are looking for,if indeed you are looking for a long term relationship they are certain facts that you should never withhold from your potential dates.

Let them know what kind of care you need because you are both looking for something that may result in a life long commitment. So holding such information may not benefit you in the long run. You will not only be wasting their time but you would also be wasting your time.

Questions to ask yourself
Who do you need to tell? What do you want to tell them about your disability,and what are you expecting from the person you’re disclosing your status to?When should you tell them? Where is the best place to have this conversation? Why are you telling them?

With my research i have found they are a few misconception`s that people have on people dating with a disability,one being they only date other people with disabilites,this is like saying blondes only date blondes,white people only date other white people.

Every person needs a connection or chemistry to be attracted to one another,a person in a wheelchair is not just attracted to another person in a wheelchair because he/she has a great set of wheels!



This been said they is many people that do date someone with a disability like themselves thinking they will be more accepted by this person and they can relate to them better.

They can belive that a person without a disability would never look their way,which of course is untrue.



What attracts people is confidence – the confidence to show your inner self; that is what’s truly attractive.
The first step you need to take in order to have a love life is to be comfortable about your disability. Accept yourself with your flaws and disabilities. After all, each and every one of us has flaws. No one is perfect.]]> http://www.disabledonline.com/community/disabilitydates/blog/dating-with-a-disability/ Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:33:49 +0000 disabilitydates http://www.disabledonline.com/community/alta1/blog/fruitcake/

Lewis, 85, has been the MDA's national chairman since the early 1950s and has hosted the Labor Day Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon since 1966.

He announced in May that he was retiring as host of the telethon that has become synonymous with his name. But Lewis added that he planned to make his final appearance on this year's Sept. 4, show and planned on continuing to serve as MDA's national chairman.

MDA Chairman of the Board R. Rodney Howell said in a statement that Lewis "will not be appearing on the telethon" and "we will not be replacing him as MDA national chairman."

Howell added that Lewis "is a world-class humanitarian and we're forever grateful to him for his more than half century of generous service to MDA."

The statement did not provide any further explanation for the moves, and calls to the Tucson, Ariz,-based nonprofit weren't immediately returned Wednesday night. Representatives for Lewis, a publicist and a manager, also did not immediately respond to messages left for comment.

Lewis, a Las Vegas resident, has in recent years battled a debilitating back condition, heart issues and the crippling lung disease pulmonary fibrosis.

MDA officials said more than $1 billion has been raised during Muscular Dystrophy Association telethons over the years and a national network of some 200 hospital-affiliated clinics has opened since Lewis became involved in the telethon.

Lewis' first live Labor Day weekend telethon in 1966 was broadcast by a single New York City television station. It raised more than $1 million in pledges.

The telethon moved from New York to Las Vegas in 1973 and had stints in Los Angeles before returning in 2006 to Las Vegas.

Last year's Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon aired from the South Coast hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip and was broadcast by more than 170 stations. It raised almost $59 million to fund research to find a cure for muscular dystrophy and ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease.

The live telethon usually lasts 21 1/2 hours. Sometimes Lewis would sing or tell lighthearted jokes. He introduced guests and other performers like a ringmaster. Sometimes, he turned serious and shared stories of people afflicted by the disease or who were helped by the association. All the while, he urged donors to contribute while a tote board rang up pledge totals.

Some telethon moments have made history.]]> http://www.disabledonline.com/community/rainey/blog/jerry-lewis-no-longer-mda-s-national-chairman/ Thu, 04 Aug 2011 10:16:55 +0000 rainey http://www.disabledonline.com/community/txtrulady/blog/do-polls/ http://www.disabledonline.com/community/txtrulady/blog/do-polls/ Mon, 11 Jul 2011 14:26:29 +0000 txtrulady http://www.disabledonline.com/community/becca_tx/blog/you-ve-been-served/ ]]> http://www.disabledonline.com/community/becca_tx/blog/you-ve-been-served/ Sat, 09 Jul 2011 22:20:40 +0000 becca_tx http://www.disabledonline.com/community/WebDude/blog/e3/ its been a crazy week this week end of school for the kids and all that entails, getting DO upgraded and working out the kinks but also following all ...
