VALUING EVERYONE
Living with hidden differences is not just about medical health & perceptions. Hidden differences are humans and their place in society needs to be respected. This means we need to see a person beyond how they perceive.
We must not generalise every person with differences with negative typecasting presumptions.
Also, we must change attitudes on how we judge & treat hidden differences against negative presumptions.
Any kind of generalisations and negative typecasting presumptions must be discouraged.
There are a variety of research and analysis from professionals and medical experts. However ground-level insight and context are equally important on how life affects hidden differences. Without context & insight, hidden differences are be wrongly misrepresented with inaccurate profiling against them.
Hidden Differences in society must be respected
Regardless of perceptions and presumptions, a person with hidden differences has the right to exist and function in society. There is no excuse for trivialisation and hatred towards hidden differences. We must discourage prejudice, discrimination and hatred towards hidden differences
Regardless of how judgemental society is, a person with differences has a right to have a place and to be seen in society. This means a person with differences should be not be made to justify themselves, keep defending themselves just for existing. Also, a person with differences should not be made to apologise due to others people's impatience or intolerance. A person with difference have ambitions and drive to move forward in life. Also, a person with different viewpoints, feelings, opinions and insight must be heard and listened to.
It is important to take note that many people who live with differences should not be defined by their condition or labels they have and just want to have a place in society, this must be respected.
Everyone needs to be smarter to make a person with differences can maintain their better positive sense of value and not use any wrong judgements to cause harm.
