One billion people around the world live with some form of disability, making up around 15% of the global population. The vast majority of people with disabilities live in developing countries. According to the World Report on Disability, this number is increasing. And that is because the world is ageing. Also the increase in chronic health conditions, other environmental can cause disability. The disabled are distinguish from other people. Women and girls with disabilities experience double discrimination on account of their gender and their disability, and are also particularly vulnerable to violence and abuse.
In my opinion, people who are mentally-retarded are more clever than us. For example, down syndrome. This syndrome is known from 1866. Children with this syndrome are similar to each other, their stereotypes are the same. In other word, they are short, mentally-retarded, their heads are small and round. The eyes are small, the skin in the corner of the eye is wrinkled. The mouth is half open, the tongue is large. The teeth are sparse, and the muscles and joints are poorly developed. And they can not tell a lie or betray. They are pure in the heart.
Eli Reimer became the first person with down syndrome to reach the top of Mount Everest. The preparation process, which lasted a full year with his father, showed that achieving success is not all difficult as long as physical strength and mental focus are blended with determination and discipline.
Those who watched American Horror Story will know her. Jamie Brewer has managed to make the life offered to her a better place. Jamie Brewer is a TV actress with down syndrome.
Groesser Owen, young basketball player with down syndrome, has been declared accomplished with his distinctive movement. His talent caught the attention of the ESPN sport center, which is the dream of every athlete.
Another example of a celebrity with a disability who broke the mould is John Nash, an American mathematician whose life, marked by acute paranoid schizophrenia, is known to us thanks to the film "A Beautiful Mind" Aware of his illness, Nash fought against it and developed a successful academic career that earned him the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994. Paranoid schizophrenia, or schizophrenia with paranoia as doctors now call it, is the most common example of this mental illness. Schizophrenia is a kind of psychosis, which means your mind doesn't agree with reality. It affects how you think and behave.
Tenor, musician, writer and musical producer of Italian origin, Andrea Boccelli has sold more than 75 million records.
He was born with congenital glaucoma that left him partially blind, something that did not prevent him from taking piano lessons until the age of six.
However, at age 12 he suffered a blow during a football game that left him completely blind. Endowed with a spirit of innate improvement, he decided to focus entirely on music, specifically on singing. He also studied Law.
Boccelli has received numerous awards of international prestige and even has a beach named after him on the Adriatic.
In addition to being one of the most inspirational disabled celebrities, Aaron
Fotheringham is also one of the most famous skaters in the world.
His speciality? Wheelchair skating.
During his childhood, Aaron underwent several failed hip operations that forced him to use a wheelchair permanently. Even so, he continued to practice a sport which he was passionate about adapting to his disability.
These are some of the best-known personalities at the international level and with the most famous histories of improvement, but every day, there are many similar stories surrounding us that we do not know about. And success is measured by hard work, not health.
