What is ableism and how does it contribute to disability microaggressions?
What will be an ideal response?
Ableism can be viewed as able-centric worldview that makes the distinction between what is normal and what is abnormal. Therefore, society has come to see being healthy to mean normal and illness, including disability as abnormal, thus established is a criterion for exclusion and disability microaggressions, which consist of denial of access, insults, and all forms of discriminations based on disability. It is not disability per se that is the problem but the negligence and actions of the able bodied that fosters microaggressions against PWDs and the related psychological and emotional harm. Furthermore, society’s ableism worldview promotes a view of disability as weak and unworthy and results in a lack of respect and value for PWDs.
