It's hard having a disability. Many people treat you as though you're somehow less than other people, and some people even make fun of, and laugh at people with disabilities. That hurts and people ignore people with disabilities in many ways. One way is by not having them as main characters in any books or movies. Check out this video by an 11 year old with a disability as she talks about how she wants to change that.
