The Poster – By Zach Kalpakchiev 

13 April, 2022

Today we were walking back to the class and saw a poster.  It said, “Disabled is not a bad word.”  It was for Autism.  I don’t think that people with Autism are disabled.  Just because they have Autism, it doesn’t stop them from doing things.

Like me.  Just because I have CP (Cerebral Palsy), it doesn’t mean I can’t do a lot of things.

I can horseback ride, bike, body surf, zip-line, ski, rockwall climb, go boating, and soon skateboard!

So don’t call me “disabled”: call me, Zach.
