Disability problem how would you stand as a normal person?

A disability does not mean a person has to become “normal” to stand in society. There is no fixed meaning of a normal person. Everyone’s body and mind work in different ways. Living with a disability means learning to accept yourself first. This does not mean you stop trying. It means you understand your limits and also your strengths. Many people with disabilities live full and happy lives by focusing on what they can do instead of what they cannot. Support is important. Family, friends, teachers, or coworkers can make life easier. Using tools or getting help does not make a person weak. It helps them live with dignity and confidence. Respect from society also matters. A person with a disability should not be judged or treated differently. They should not have to prove their worth. Small things like patience, understanding, and kindness make a big difference. Standing strong is mostly about mindset. Some days are difficult, and that is normal. Confidence grows slowly, with time and self-belief. I am not linked to any organization or service related to disability. This answer is based only on personal understanding and experience. In simple words, a person with a disability does not need to become normal. They only need acceptance, respect, and equal chances in life.
