Issues facing those with disabilities

Disabled has different issues that one may have to worried about that other professional does not have to worry about. Like if I take this job will I lose my Benefits, if I get married will I lose my benefits? Sound like an easy question, who passes up a career position to keep their benefits? So benefits like personnel care attendant are too much to give up. Yes Social security can advise you. But why don’t we have a support system among ourselves to deal with these issues? Other issues we all deal with are accommodations, transportation and other. We do have different issues but no place to go to, that allows us to discuss these as professionals.

Prespective

Growing up disabled was a memory I will not forget, now as a successful professional I look back at where I came from and I am blown away, but now compare my self to my friends now. I now feel far behind. It took a few years in my 20ies to realize how to enjoy what I have. I know many with disabilities may have the same issue. Yes we have over came a lot to obtain success but we can not completely compare ourselves to our professional colleagues. It a hard lesson to learn but once learnt understanding life more is easier.
