Question by Nevada: What is a good diet for a recently “disabled” teen?
Hey everyone, recently I have become unable to do sports because of an injury, which has practically disabled for who knows how long. What I’m getting that is that the sports[football, baseball, track] have always kept me in shape, but now since I can’t do anything I want to be able to stay healthy. What would be a good full time diet for me to help me slimmed back down and healthy?
Just to explain more, its a hip injury. Hard to walk or even move it much

your diet should stay the same -a completely balanced meal with junk food in moderation. don’t make any changes.

Question by tmpl924: Another fake injury for Paul “Wheelchair” Pierce?
He should have gone into moves. He would have been a top 10 actor, he is no where near the top 10 in the NBA, never in his career has he been a top 5. He rode KG and Allen, both of which hit the top 10 in their primes

Question by Question Queen ?: Why do people consider people with Down Syndrome “a Mongoloid”?
I thought Mongoloid was descendents from Mongolia or Asia. Why do people refer to people with Down Syndrome as a Mongoloid? Is it because they have Asian-looking eyes?

Answer by Danagasta
That was exactly why they used the term. It’s outdated now, as you probably know.

Question by intellectual dude: Is it rude to ask a person, “Do you have down syndrome”?
I met someone to sell them a computer I had advertised on the internet. Through e-mail and on the phone he appeared to be normal. When I finally met him though, at first I thought that maybe he might have down syndrome. But then I thought maybe not, since he was tall, had a job, and drove an SUV. But then I heard the way he talked. It sounded kind of like how Corky Thatcher talks, but he also used colloquial speech like I have never heard people with down syndrome use. He said

“It was all bikes and sh*t. That’s all it was. It was crazy.”

But then he said he was buying the computer for his daughter, which also made me think that he did not have down syndrome.

I’m very curious as to whether or not this guy has down syndrome. I was thinking of emailing him after our meeting, to ask him if he had down syndrome, but I didn’t know if it was rude. Now I’m going to meet up with him again to sell him something else. Would it be rude to ask him if he has down syndrome?
Ok, so how can I find out about this guy. There’s got to be a way of finding out then just asking him right out like that. Maybe if I worded it differently?

Shouldn’t people with down syndrome be proud of who they are anyway? They shouldn’t have to hide it, and we shouldn’t have to pretend they aren’t what they are.
I’m just interested in people with down syndrome in general. I thought that it would be great to find out that this guy had down syndrome. I want to see how far people with down syndrome have come in society. Maybe they have invented advanced medications now so that these people are no longer mentally handicapped?
No, I wouldn’t be offended if someone asked me if I had down syndrome. I would either know they were joking, or I would be freaked out and try to find out if I had it or not.

Yes it would be very rude.

Acorn Recruitment in Sevenoaks are proud to support the Royal London Society for the Blind (RLSB) who are based locally at Dorton House. Mel Coleman from the RLSB came along to broadly discuss visual impairment within the workplace and rounded it off with a fun jam sandwich making competition. Joined with two clients from Kit For Kids Ltd, three teams of two people hopelessly made a mess but had fun in the process. Involved is Rhiannon Winn (purple) instructed by Margaret Sarjeant (black top); Geoff Newman (green t-shirt) instructed by Lindsay Castling (checkered black and white top) from Kit for Kids; and Jeff Wheeler (blue shirt) instructed by Margaret Saunders (purple shirt) from Kit for Kids.

At least one in three people with a learning difficulty will also have serious sight loss. We believe the figure may be significantly higher. Over the last ten years RNIB has assessed the vision of more than 500 people with learning disabilities. We found approximately 80 per cent had some degree of sight loss. Often this sight loss had previously gone undetected. Our aim is to identify sight loss and create opportunity by increasing awareness of: * the prevalence of under-detection of sight loss * the consequences for people with a learning disability. Visual Impairment and Learning Disability Services (VILD) have a recognised excellence in supporting people with a visual impairment and learning disability. Watch our 4-minute DVD to see how we support people, from their functional vision assessment through to practical rehabilitation support. We also have specialist expertise in providing sight tests for people with a learning disability.

Question by Chickidee: What do the terms “paraplegic” and “quadraplegic” mean?
I have the general idea, but I always assumed they meant the person was paralyzed. But when I visited my cousin, she described him as a paraplegic, but I noticed that he could not walk, but could stand and move his legs some. I am confused!
Also, why can some people regain their movement or ability to walk, and others cannot?

Best answer:

Answer by gregtkt120012002
It means some one in a wheelchair, or generally someone with severe leg problems that stop them from walking or most leg movement.
