This has been very demoralizing to our self-esteem. But not easily and not overnight. In order to change these attitudes, we as people with disabilities need to interact with individuals who already recognise the fact that. This usually begins when gatherings of disabled people get together and discuss what affects their lives. It happens when we meet one another and share ideas Furthermore, we need to share our realities with all the people with whom we interact.
Example is still one of the best methods.
We have all met or heard about disabled people who have successful relationships. To emulate success, we need to experience success. Self-advocacy organisations of people with disabilities are one place to start. By exchanging experiences and ideas we can learn that it is possible to be recognised as real human beings. When we learn that other disabled people have overcome negative attitudes about their sexuality it provides us with the opportunity to make changes in our own lives.
