In this episode of Raising Disabled, we talk about one of the most frustrating questions parents of disabled children hear: "When will they be better?"
We discuss:
- why this question is harmful,
- how it reflects some of our society's misconceptions about disability,
- and the emotional toll it takes on families.
We hope to redefine what it means to live with and love a disabled child, emphasizing acceptance over expectations. Whether you're a parent, friend, or ally, this episode will help you understand why focusing on "fixing" isn't the right approach and how you can be a better advocate.
