Who the hell put the word 'Dis' in disability?

One of the most misused phrases in the English language is 'Disability' the first three letters spell out a negative reaction straight away. Narrow-minded people are blind to the rest of the word, ABILITY. Annoyingly this can also reflects on ones appearance towards somebody who has an impediment. The wheelchair, the stick, the limp in the walk are the first aspects to be picked up on. On most occasions they build a barrier which hides the mental ability of a disabled person.

Somebody who has a physically disability and leads a standard lifestyle has the added obvious difficulty to overcome, surely this should be seen as a skill? Imagine you were cooking a dinner for your guests and a few hours before they arrived your cooker packed up. Yet you still manage to serve up a scrumptious three course meal, you would be crowned a Master Chef. Or you were using a PC to carry out an important function and it crashed, though you were still carried on without the help of your machine. You probably would be seen as a 'Boffin'. Now imagine you had limited or no coordination of you legs and arms, but you still lead a life as full as anybody else does. Yet you are still classed as DISabled! Is that really fair?

That's why we have removed the 'Dis' and called ourselves ABLE2 and stand proudly as one of the most respected disabled websites around since 2000. Not only do we cover disabled related issues, but also report back from high profile entertainment events. Why? Because we can. And if you have a disability there is nothing stopping you from leading a for-filling and active life as well. Disabled people need to show what they are fully capable of and they are the only people who can change attitudes!

Make the very best out of your life. You aren't dis-abled, you just have to work that tiny bit harder and you will be able2 do anything you want.
