7 reasons why disabilities have their advantages

1 Getting closer parking

Honestly who likes walking a half a mile to walk to entrance of the store? Even if I didn't have a disability that in itself is a no brainer!  People honestly everyday take advantage of disabled parking. Why? Because they don't have to walk far.People with disabilities are privileged with easier access to get up front parking without getting in trouble with the law.

2. Getting in and out of theme park lines quicker

Most of us dread going to a theme park, but we do it anyways because its so much fun! Usually after getting hipped up we spend hundreds of dollars to only see the possibility of 5-8 rides while standing in line that can take as long as an hour. Having a disability gives you the same access that people pay for express passes absolutely free! We get the advantage of seeing more rides then the average person.

3. If jobs don't work out we at least get a pay check until we get find another one.

Sitting in the unemployment office is not an obligation if your disabled. People often dread getting jobs they hate and leave looking for another one. Unemployment gives you one year before the check runs out. Our SSI/SSDI check gives us enough time to go back to school/job training and look for a job without that worry. I don't suggest that SSI/SSDI be a long term solution for anyone if possible, as it doesn't pay enough anyhow!

4. We are not obligated to pay for health care.

People pay hundreds of dollars yearly, fines and copay for insurance. Medicade becomes a free service to those with disabilities. It may not be the best insurance out their, but then again it doesn't cost us a dime.

5. We are provided with different modes of transportation that are cheaper then owning a car

 Many of us who don't own a vehicle, so we are given many options to get around. We have access  to all types of public transportation that is sometimes even free. We don't pay insurance for a vehicle and get discounted on the public city buses that sometimes are the "normal" persons only other alternative to getting places. 

6. School buses have AC.

Yes we can spend an awful long time on a bus going to and home from school as a kid, but often so do the first ones who get on a "regular bus" At least we have the advantage of AC while we wait to get to school/home.

7 Discounts

We don't always have to be a senior to get a discount. Many services have discounts for the disabled you just have to look. If you don't believe me look for yourself
