Inclusion Isn’t Inspiration You’ve seen it before: A disabled kid gets asked to prom. A Deaf baby reacts to a hearing aid. A wheelchair user finishes a race. And the comments? - “So inspiring.” - “This made me cry.” - "Well I’ve got no excuses now!” But here’s the thing: Existing as a disabled person, or getting access to basic tools. isn’t inspirational. Going to school, doing sport, reacting to sound… these aren’t “incredible” just because we’re doing them disabled. We don’t exist to make non-disabled people feel grateful or motivated. That’s not inclusion. Real inclusion means making sure we’re part of the story, on our own terms. It means celebrating our achievements because we value them, not because they make others feel good. So next time you’re tempted to say “you’re so inspiring” for something you’d never say if a non-disabled person did it, pause and ask: Is this about them, or about how it makes me feel? Let’s move from inspiration to inclusion. Follow for more tips on how to be a better ally to disabled people. #DisabilityAwareness #DisabledVoices #DisabledAndProud
