    I hate being disabled and disability discrimination from work agencies and programs refusing to help me knowing full well I'm disabled since birth. Most of the time, I had to forcefully to omitted that I'm not disabled and autistic (despite I am) when it comes to employment. It's disgusting 😒😑

    Thank you. I’m disabled and today I experienced discrimination at the Pandora store in Bicester Village (I wanted to buy a gift for my daughter). I have a walking stick and can’t stand for long at all (on some days I can’t walk). The manager was so rude and didn’t care that I needed to know a time when I could enter the store due to my disability. When I questioned her and asked why other people were being allowed in she told me she wouldn’t let me in at all. I travelled a 2 hour round trip and was treated like dirt. I’m exhausted and really feel so devastated by my experience.

    The problem is that in every country, Acts are passed yet the Acts are not enforced so the disabled people still are discriminated against. If you are disabled and file a complaint for discrimination you will find that your discrimination will never find justice.

    I have dyslexia, dyxcalcula, ADHD & memory impairment. I had to go to court to file for Child support for my 2 children, I requested accomodations when the hearing was finally coming up after 6 1/2 years. Due to my low income I could not afford an attorney & had to represent my self, I was told there was no accomodations for this type of Disability. After a virtual hearing I noticed they miscalculated child support for the years and number of children, I had to file a motion so they can correct there mistakes since there is a state guideline they go by can show where they made clerical mistakes & with my disability I could not correct at the moment. After I picked up the court notes is when it was obvious, it's been 7 months since this hearing I call to get updated in my motion with no resolve. I was told to file a new motion but why if they have not responded to the first one. The father has an attorney that must know this mistake benefits him. I have to now pay an attorney to recalculate what the court should have done with the correct information that was provided. This has caused me extreme financial hardship & emotional distress, Just knowing there are other like me or worst, to know they can be taken advantage of due to a disability really hurts.

    I am fairly new to your lovely country. I am looking through these videos to get an idea how to aid my friend of now nearly 15 years from here in UK. Yet the way I see medical staff treat my friend is in blatant violation of this law. There are however medical professionals there me and her have met that do try to help and and understanding. I respect the people from medical field who understands my friends problems and do try to help. But I have a problem with the medical "professionals" who call my friend liar and a attention seeker on her medical records and refuse to show her her own records. I come from Finland and I've had this same type of treatment with my minor medical problems. However to the point. I am thankful there being Brits like you making these videos for everyone of your lovely country. I have subscribed and will be checking more of your content. Good hunting (my way of wishing everything best and/or good good luck, in this case it'd be both considering the times we live in)

    It's difficult to fit in when you're reserved and have communication issues due to effects of autism which you can't help. Basically people try to tell you to look in their eyes, i had this not long ago from a mean Employment agency person who i complained to her manager about, i just find it abusive when they want to threaten you with control tactics when your naturally non compliant. (These people do Not understand even if you tell them) they use it against and still act bad because you refuse them But Stand your ground No matter what, Do not give in and Do Complain, these people are paid to help you Not be abusive.

    My local council have refused me a Wet Room on a Lie. The OT came to assess me, I have psychogenic tremor, arthritis in both knees and I can't bath without pain - I can't kneel. I also have a narrowed Femoral artery and need an operation. I get disability allowance. The OT asked me, is it just about the bath? I said it was, I demonstrated the bath and the OT told me she had to see my bedroom - I told her it was just about the bath and said it was irrelevant as I had no problem with the bed, i.e I didn't have to climb into it or out of it. I received an email from social care Barnet informing me that I was not going to have a Wet Room because I REFUSED to demonstrate the Bath and Bed. Is this classed as discrimination? What Act have they breached?

    I guess we individuals with disabilities more easily take damage on either the inside or outside than anyone else would. I once had stress for a long time that made it feel as if I had a boss with 200% armor for flesh that would mangle or break anything as well as fury for his only emotion and an ability to run too fast to get outrun and a tendency to get woken up even by the quietest noise which would keep him from sleeping more than 2 hours in any 24-hour period! People who don’t understand disabilities and get away with it might have 200% armor for flesh or mental behavior against anyone stupid or seemingly stupid!

It’s not fair that if I do they take away my insurance and I die. It’s not fair. I don’t want to be penalized for for living my life with the person I love. It’s soo expensive to keep me alive...it’s not fair! He can’t keep me alive with his earnings. This isn’t fair. I’m tired of hiding.

    If requesting accommodations prompts others to act with a crab bucket mentality, those others who are letting emotions effect productivity of the company are the worse offender allowing their feelings, and degree of influence, to ruin a person who has to work beyond a typical person's expected level given their circumstance. Its petty, and indicative of the kind of worker they truly are to abuse their power unfairly the moment they had a better judgement situation in their hands where benefit of a doubt or compassion was being tested. I believe in the right to freedom of SPEECH in ones private life, but school, career, and business should be conducted like an open documentary to all characters accountable to all actions at all times. Discrimination because somethings seem easier if disabled labeled, is just wrong.
