Questions & Answers
Question : what mental health disorders such as bi polar are considered disabilities?
Can anyone tell me which mental illnesses are considered disabilities in Texas. If anyone has one of these can you inform me of something my husband got an assault charge on him for committing an assault on a disabled person, but he did not see any signs of them being disabled (nor did he really assualt them) but what kind of disabilities would this include. We assume it was a mental disability because the person making the accusations were certainly not physically disabled.
Answer:
A diagnoses of any mental disorder does not prove disability.
Disability is determined by a person's individual symptoms and how these symptoms prevent the person from getting or keeping gainful employment.
I know people with severe, chronic schizophrenia who work full time. I know people in wheelchairs who work full time.
It's not the diagnoses it's the severity of the symptoms.
There isn't any one diagnoses of any mental disorder that automatically designates one as disabled.
There are many disabled people who have unseen disabilities that is they are not obviously disabled to the average person by sight alone.
HIV infection is one, cancer is another, and many more.
The only time it's ok to assault another is in self defense or defense of another. So if your husband was charged with assault he wasn't defending himself or another.

Question : How well does Russia deal with disabilities?
I don't have any disabilities but curious about this topic. People with disabilities. I heard Russian person talk about how difficult it is to graduate high school passing a test to graduate and colleges being very difficult. Is there a place for people with learning disabilities? Do they get teased worse in Russia?
My dad is an educator who has helped high school drop outs get GED. Does Russia have these programs?
Answer:
I can't speak for Moscow, but I live and teach in a Russian City of about 1.2 million people. My observation here about how Russia deals with disabled people is simple; they don't deal with them. A wheel chair ramp is almost unheard of here, and besides, even if a person could find a wheelchair ramp, they first couldn't leave their home without a lot of help. In apartment buildings (where the majority of Russian people live) the elevators are too small to fit a wheelchair. If by chance that person had a group of people who would fold the wheelchair and carry the person, public transport has no provision for disabled people.
In terms of learning disabilities, I teach in universities and have never seen any program of the sort. I have not heard of such a thing in the schools either, but not having taught in schools, I'm no expert.
Also, just so you know, the words "college" and university have two entirely different meanings in Russia. A college is a school where a student can go after the 9th grade and is not at all comparable to a university.

Question : Positive ways people with disabilities are treated?
Can you list 5 ways people with disabilities are treated positively and 5 ways people with disabilities are treated negatively? Thanks! It's for my homework and I can't think of anything.
Answer:
Here are some examples.
Positive:
- Treat them with respect.
- See them as people first. The disability does not define who they are.
- Talk directly to them instead of to the person accompanying them (for example: "John, what would you like to drink?" instead of "Marie, what does John drink?")
- Don't stare at them, but also don't completely ignore them. Acknowledge them like you would acknowledge other people.
- Let them make their own decisions. Don't decide what they can or cannot do (for example: ask a person who uses a wheelchair if they want to go swimming with you instead of just assuming that they can't).
- Don't help without asking first. People with disabilities are able to do many things by themselves and don't always need or want help. Constantly helping them when it's not really needed can annoy them, as this gives the impression you don't think they are able to do anything without help.
Negative:
Pretty much the opposite of what I listed above. Examples:
- Treating a physically disabled person as if they were mentally challenged or dumb too. Treating a mentally ill person as dumb (mental illnesses have nothing to do with one's IQ). Treating people with disabilities like children.
- Deciding things for the disabled person instead of letting them have a say in their own life.
- Treating them as incapable or useless.
- Pitying them. That is patronizing and gives the impression you think they are incapable of anything since they're disabled.
- Not giving them opportunities, assuming they can't succeed.
