Re: What would you look for in a school club related to disabilities? - August 17th 2017, 09:26 PM

Quote:
Is this club primarily for people with physical disabilities? Or are mental disabilities also included? There's probably a lot of people who have mental issues, such as anxiety or depression, or even bipolar. Or maybe high functioning Asperger's. They may not even know it. But they yearn for a club where they'll fit in. They'll fit in because they'll all be socially awkward, but the group will help tremendously. Doesn't really matter what the group does, as long as they do it together and everyone is included.
Anyone is welcome, technically diagnosed or not! I have anxiety and depression although I don't use the Disability Resource Center at school for it. We have people with Autism and Asperger's, Cerebral Palsy, auditory processing, hearing aids, and other things (we obviously aren't going to ask people the nature of their disability unless they want to share).


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
