Is it me, or is this article just a string of disability-related cliches tagged on to one another? By RJ Mitte, who plays a character with CP in Breaking Bad, no doubt it is intended to sound inspirational: I just scanned through it, an was struck by how little it actually says. While I of course think it’s terrific that through him we at last have a character with a disability on mainstream tv – albeit american – I think he could do better than trot out such pukeworthy phrases as ”It’s time to show people that disability has ability in it. People look at a disability as a weakness but it should be seen as a strength”. Oh well – on the whole I suppose it’s a step in the right direction. Mind you, even more concerning is that the article mentions that, in an upcoming program, Mitte will be playing a character with Muscular Dystrophy. Do they not realise that cp and md are two very different conditions, or do they just think physically disabled people are all the same?
