When a child’s sensory system is overwhelmed, they can feel unsafe. For some children with autism, this experience is due to their heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In crowded or noisy environments, they may struggle to filter out background noise, making it difficult to focus on important cues or stay alert to potential dangers. They may also have difficulty understanding the social cues of others and interpreting nonverbal language, which can lead to misunderstandings and feelings of vulnerability.

Saturday, July 15, 2023 ADHDers often feel like we 'should' be able to do something because ✨ we've done it before ✨ or that our difficulty with focus/productivity isn't a real disability b/c sometimes we can do it just fine.
GUYS. LADIES. GENTLETHEMS.
THAT IS THE DISABILITY.
The INCONSISTENCY. - Jessica McCabe, @howtoadhd

I have the photoshop skills to blur out the number plate, and I WAS going to do that and just complain about the behaviour. Since this man decided he was going to use TWO #disabled bays. Which is really frustrating people if you are disabled there's a REASON you need these spaces! . But when the man saw me, he got extremely abusive towards me. Because he knew what he did was wrong, and obviously didn't care. Then he parked in a regular space!?? So yeah, fcuk him. Why are #audi drivers like this? . What really gets me as well, there ARE bays that face this way just opposite to where he parked... But nooooo... he choose to make things difficult for disabled people. 🙄🙄🙄 . . . . . . . . . #disability #disabilityawareness #car #carpark #audicars #audidrivers #disabilityrights #disabledparking #ablelism (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoT-gBDajq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Disability Rights
At school I was invisible, nobody saw me. I morphed into the background, I wasn’t popular. I was ignored throughout my school life. Although my school didn’t know I was disabled, they did know I struggled to make headway with my schoolwork. That should have rung alarm bells, but it didn’t, and I continued to mentally struggle.
Institutions
Children can be cruel. And while institutions are there to house groups, institutions only work when support mechanisms are in place and everyone works together, and for the greater good.
In school I was continually being picked, continually being harassed by teaching staff for not paying attention, when the reality was my mental disability stopped me from easily concentrating, answering questions and being able to join in conversations and lessons.
Discrimination
I felt stupid most of the time and I was being discriminated against. When I mentioned to my PE instructor, the High Jump wasn't a good fit for me, I was told there was no concession on opting out of the high jump, even though I’d mentioned a leg length shortening and a muscle tone issue. Discrimination is discrimination and I wasn’t being listened to.
Mental Health
Being born in the 60’s when mental health, emotional health and physical health all existed, they were a thing. But disability wasn't on people's radar. Fast forward to The Equality Act 2010 and UN Convention and disability and people’s perceptions on disability began to change. (Source: https://www.gov.uk)
All it would take is for people to start working together. No child or adult, no one with mental health or physical health issues should be discriminated against. It’s all in how you choose to see and deal with people with disabilities. Where the human condition is flawed, we can change, we just have to want to. We should want to do better for those who need us to.

Vocational rehabilitation services: how can they help you?
Tumblr media
Every state has a state vocational rehabilitation agency. While these vocational rehabilitation agencies do not adequately provide such services to high school students, many private agencies provide vocational rehabilitation starting from high school. Now, one might ask what vocational rehabilitation is. The answer to that is vocational rehabilitation is a combination of various services helping people with disabilities to gain employment or live independently. Vocational rehabilitation should start as early as possible, which could mean high school. Suppose the students with disabilities receive vocational rehabilitation services as early as high school; it could help them transcend towards their desired field but could also help them stand on their own feet at a very early stage.
How could Vocational Rehabilitation help you?
As we said earlier in this article, vocational rehabilitation is a combination of various services to help people with disabilities gain or keep employment or to encourage independent living. Some services which could be particularly helpful to you are:
Assessment of disability
This particular service locates the root cause of your disability, assesses your skills, analyzes your problems, and following which provides you with a tailor-made report about the same. This helps you recognize your strengths and weaknesses to use or work on them accordingly. Also, after a successful assessment of your skills, you’re provided with a list of fields that could be the best for you so that now you’re aware of everything you need to know regarding your limitations and strengths.
Vocational Counselling
This is a vital part of vocational rehabilitation, the part from which you begin to gain confidence, and your growth process starts. Vocational counseling generally happens after a successful assessment of disability. In this section, various guidance counselors and therapists talk to you about your skills and difficulties and begin to guide you toward the direction you wish to head towards. They guide you and refer you to help you gain employment. Moreover, if you’re having difficulties keeping up with your job, they guide you and help you overcome those issues over time.
Physical and mental rehabilitation services
This is where your recovery begins; in this section of vocational rehabilitation services, they help you overcome your disabilities. They provide physical rehabilitation services for people with physical disabilities. To do this, they provide physical rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, etc. Similarly, in the case of people with mental disabilities. They provide counseling sessions, psychiatric sessions, anonymous meetings, etc., to help that person. This helps in encouraging people to attain independent living successfully.
Other services
There are many other services, such as interpreter services for deaf people, speech therapy for people having vocal disabilities, reader services for blind people, job assistance services to train people for particular occupational fields and help them gain employment, etc.
Conclusion
Vocational rehabilitation is beneficial for a vast array of disabilities, and if you’re facing any disability-related issue, then there surely is some way included in vocational rehabilitation to make your life easier. It encourages people to attain independent living and gain employment, help them assess their strength and weakness, and help them overcome their disabilities.
