A credo for support

Here's an excellent four-minute video made in memory of Tracy Latimer. It's not about Tracy Latimer, it's about disabled people in general and how to treat them. For those who need it, there's both audio and written text of the spoken words.

A video like this seems important after reading how many people commenting to my post "Is your life hard or super-hard?" by admitting they are hesitant or fearful around disabled people and aren't sure how to teach their children differently. These comments were mainly at Alas, I believe, and I don't think the people saying these things are unusual or any more ableist or self-conscious than the average person. Sad, but true.
