It is true that as PWDs, there are certain tasks we may not be able to perform. However, the constant advancement in the world of technology has proven that impossibilities can be made possible. So before you write a PWD off, get to know their strengths and weaknesses through healthy and productive conversations.

Most people with disabilities cannot have sexual relationships. Anyone can have a sexual relationship by adapting the sexual activity. People with disabilities can have children naturally or through adoption. People with disabilities, like other people, are sexual beings. Join Hellin as she speaks on DBV.

Some people believe that PWDs are more comfortable with "their own kind." In the past, grouping people with disabilities in separate schools and institutions reinforced this misconception. Today, many people with disabilities take advantage of new opportunities to join mainstream society.

The notion that the lives of people with disabilities are totally different from the lives of people without disabilities is absolutely faulse. People with disabilities go to school, get married, work, have families, do laundry, grocery shop, laugh, cry, pay taxes, get angry, have prejudices, vote, plan and dream like everyone else.

I'll discuss my disability with you if you are curious, but it's an old story to me. I have as many interests as you do. However, don't be afraid to ask questions. We PWDs are more than willing to explain to you all the things you want to know about our disability. It's better to clarify things you don't understand than make hasty assumptions. Remember, questions don't hurt, ignorance does! Press play to listen as Oluwatomisin joins the conversation on DBV
