«Ma che disabilità ha?»

Ogni giorno che passa, qui a #Tokyo2020, è la domanda che ci facciamo più spesso.

Alle Paralimpiadi la disabilità non si vede. Esiste, ma non esiste.

THREAD (1/8)
Alle Paralimpiadi la disabilità c’è ma non si vede, non la vediamo più noi.

Siamo costretti a sforzarci per vederla, capirla e raccontarla.

Dovere di cronaca, ma la verità è che non la vediamo più.
(2/8)
Vediamo sguardi vispi, tenaci, emozionati, luminosi.

Vediamo corpi e fisici pazzeschi, muscoli e atlete e atleti straordinari.

Vediamo potenza e velocità e mira e grazia e destrezza.

While Dinesh Herath’s world class performance brought honor to our country and region, I noticed some had questioned the legitimacy of this win, questioned his disability and some reached out to me for clarification. Here are few things I'd like to share,
1) When you hear the word disability, you immediately think of someone who uses a wheelchair, a hearing aid, a white cane, and so on. However, did you know that not all disabilities are visible? Invisible disabilities, or hidden disabilities are primarily neurological in nature.
Chronic pains, chronic fatigue, long term depression/ anxiety, schizophrenia, autism, ADHD, HIV/AIDS, diabetes and etc. So, the gentle reminder here is that ‘Not All Disabilities Are Visible’.

En ce moment ont lieu les Jeux Paralympiques, marqués notamment par le mouvement #WeThe15 qui défend les personnes en situation de #handicap. Celles-ci n’étaient pas moins nombreuses au Moyen Âge : et elles devaient également se battre pour leurs droits. Un thread ⬇️ ! #histoire
Nicolas d’Orgemont est né en France, avant 1360, dans une famille noble : son père est le chancelier du royaume. Tous ses frères font de grandes carrières politiques. Mais Nicolas est boiteux : il souffre d’une infirmité au tibia…
Les Chroniques du Religieux de Saint-Denis parlent de lui en disant qu’il était « obligé de marcher avec une jambe de bois », càd une béquille. Ces outils sont bien attestés au Moyen Âge, par de nombreuses images, et ils atteignent alors un haut degré de sophistication.

東京パラリンピック2020の開会式。障害のあるなしに関わらず、誰もが障害を持つ可能性があることを考えると、こうして多様な生き方を見ることは、参考になるような気がする。

東京パラリンピック2020の開会式。21時からNHKニュースに突然切り替わる。なかなか厳しい社会環境である。新規の緊急事態宣言の予定。そしてアフガニスタン情勢。他方でパラリンピックはパラリンピックである。

東京パラリンピック2020の開会式。日本選手団のばんになった。最年少は14歳、最年長は66歳だとか。これもいい話だと思う。年齢に対する許容範囲が幅広い。融和的である、ような気がする。
