Dumb Things People Say - When Are They Going to Get Better

In this episode of Raising Disabled, we talk about one of the most frustrating questions parents of disabled children hear: "When will they be better?"
 
We discuss:

  • why this question is harmful, 
  • how it reflects some of our society's misconceptions about disability, 
  • and the emotional toll it takes on families. 

We hope to redefine what it means to live with and love a disabled child, emphasizing acceptance over expectations. Whether you're a parent, friend, or ally, this episode will help you understand why focusing on "fixing" isn't the right approach and how you can be a better advocate.
