I read an article the other day about the exploitation of children in the special needs community. Whether using them for a platform to push “kindness” or even to push for reform in accessibilities, how far is too far?
I ask myself this question frequently. Even though I use my son to promote advocacy, somedays I wonder how he may feel about all of it. He can’t really comprehend the depths of caregiving and insurance and inclusion. Can he? On some level, I believe he might. After all, it is his schedule that directs my life each day, not my own.
I must be intentional when I post a pic, or video.
I must be constant in my actions.
What are your thoughts on the fine line? How can we protect our miracles and at the same time raise them up high for others to try understand diversity? I welcome your thoughts.
