Interabled relationships are starting to gain attention from society. Interabled relationships describes a romantic relationship between a person who is able-bodied and another who is disabled. However, there are still stereotypes and assumptions people can make towards interabled relationships. In this blog post, we discuss how to stop making assumptions and discuss how people with disabilities can find and experience love.
A common misconception people may have towards people with disabilities is thinking they are not capable of experiencing love. This is not true. Everyone has the desire and capacity to love and form relationships, it is basic human nature. People with disabilities can fall in love just like everyone else.
There is also the misconception of people thinking someone with a disability’s partner is their caregiver or is a burden to them. This is not true; their partner should treat them as an equal and both parties will have to work hard in loving and supporting one another. This involves good communication and setting healthy boundaries.
It is also important to understand that one’s disability does not define a person. We are all unique beings and that is what makes us special. People with disabilities want to be looked at for the person they are, not their disability. They should be accepted and treated normally. Having a disability does not make one less worthy of having a romantic relationship. Everyone deserves to experience love.
