A right to love for the disabled community?
For many years we've been exposing the uphill battle faced by many people in the deaf and disabled community to secure basic rights. But what about the right to love? In the latest in Our No Go Britain series Sui Ling Tang, who herself has a learning disability, hears from other disabled couples about their struggle to have their relationships accepted.

No has the “right” to sexual activity or the access to anyone else’s body. It is also unfair to expect carers to assist with sexual activity and or clean up after it.
Gosh those dolls are scary, very cute example though
Even if social security allowed disabled people to marry, they still will not be able to marry because they lack full self care that is why ones who are married are heard about
that is really cool, unfortunately in most places relationships - even close friendships are actively discouraged and prevented, i was in special Olympics 20 years ago,, as well as in the adult social services, and they DO NOT allow relationships they actively would separate people, and would not allow people to form close bonds, i was mis DX'd as DD/MR due to bad evals, i actually have a couple of learning disabilities, ( issues with math,and reading comprehension, and general processing issues ) but i was not tested properly, nor was i ever given proper accommodations, instead i was quickly written off as slow / delayed DD, and ended up in the system, luckily i got out, but i tell ya, after a little over 20 years of not being allowed, or given any access to potential relationships, even when quite a few case workers and helper-aids would ask , ''a re you interested in friendships, or other relationships as in romantic / love '' i said yes, and id love it if they could help me network and meet people'' not a single one of them would... they all said after i answered yes and asked for help, they said things like : oh i really dont know anyone, or i dont have much in ways of friends myself'' thankfully i got out, i even got tested with a visual based test, that is geared for folks who are known to be learning disabled, or its suspected, and i scored over 100, if i remember right it was 102, in all areas was at or a little over 100.
