Disability

When I first started reading about this whole people without disabilities playing roles of people with disabilities, at first I thought it was wrong to be portraying something that they aren't. Then I started to really think about it and that's what Hollywood is, everyone portrays someone that they're not, so why should it be wrong to portray someone with a disability? I also thought about who I would consider disabled, and I think I might be a little extreme but I feel that almost everyone with a physical, mental, or emotional problem is disabled. I feel that most people would just categorize disabilities as something like learning problems, or down-syndrome, things like that but I feel as though disability can be anything, and people shouldn't be judged by their disability whether it be how they look, communicate, or get around. So I guess what I'm getting at is that I consider anything that isn't completely normal to be a disability, but I'm not judging or pretending that I'm perfect because I feel that I have a disability as well. Disabilities shouldn't make you different, and it definitely shouldn't change the way people view you, unfortunately it does.
