Episode 1: Let's Talk About the Word That Hurts: The R-Word

  • サマリー

  • This week on The Lawmas Podcast, Lauren & Lacey aren't getting political, and they want to address the use of the R-word. They have seen on social media, on Facebook, from some of their friends, family, people that we follow are using the word in this political climate.

    Lacey shares her personal experience and emphasizes how using disability-related terms as insults affects the special needs community. They both acknowledge that while this word was once a medical diagnosis, it's now outdated and inappropriate, stressing the importance of treating everyone with respect regardless of their intellectual capabilities.

    The conversation then shifts to Lauren's experience with special needs planning and her cousin with autism. They discuss how people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities are unique individuals with distinct personalities, often reflecting their parents' traits rather than fitting into stereotypes. The hosts conclude by encouraging listeners to be mindful of their language both online and offline, reminding them that social media posts can have real-world consequences, particularly in legal settings.
