"Dear friends, like to tell you what happened to me in the day today while I was going to go to meeting organized by the NGO to address RSD Smile 
and the theme of accessibility in Milan for all those who have problems with motori.Partenza by Arluno 13.45 hours because the service transport disabled CTA was not available because of the 16 planned services for schools, to bring the boys home at the end of lessons. So far, so good, I have not made any controversy, I was condescending and left several hours earlier than 17, estimated time for the meeting on the Piazza del Duomo disabilità.Da Arluno it takes exactly 25 km, kilometer km less. The driver, a boorish lout, he drove the vehicle as if it were in a formula one circuit, making the wheelchair tossed from side to side, despite repeated advice to drive slower and with more caution. This peasant, not only did not give me straight, but continued to drive at breakneck speed, hitting bumps and potholes along the route. My stomach and my back hurt me and I was sick. The peasant continued his run, moreover, wrong road. Rather than bring in Milan, headed for Saronno, Uboldo.Dal exactly because I knew I had to leave before I made an appointment with one of my friends in the Piazza del Duomo at 14.30, calculating that they can travel 25 km in 40 min. The driver, for each hole and off, I was blown up at the same time giving me a push to the recoil down, making me actually move my body almost to the edge of the chair, the seat of the wheelchair, so as to have the seat at board. Basically I was falling on the ground. We arrived in Piazza del Duomo at 15.10, after 1 h 20. But there's qui.Il boor rude, besides leaving me there alone without waiting for the arrival of my friend, I was not even placed, pulled up to avoid falling, going away regardless of the danger I was going to run, to fall from the wheelchair. I was put in such a way as to make anyone worry. But I was wrong. All the people passing by in the Piazza Duomo, not only I was not worthy of a look with the intent to help, but when I approached a couple 55-year-old for help that did not fall, her husband shouted to his wife to go away as if I were to beg or something. I felt humiliated in how they have been abandoned by the driver and inhumane journey that I had to also pay: € 80.Quando my friend Ivan saw me he felt in trouble, he did not know what to say, was very angry with the driver. And since he writes for "The Day", most likely write an article against the inefficiency of the transport disabled CTAQuello that made me think, made me think deeply, and he has been humiliated and abandoned as a lot potato, is the reaction of people indifferent to the problem that presented itself before our eyes, is the indifference of those who should protect people with disabilities, from those who carry them to an objective requirement, by all persons who have not lifted a finger when I was about to fall. This episode made me really understand, after 22 years in a wheelchair, how small we are in, poor in spirit, poor mood, poor of heart, are insensitive to the needs altrui.Mi direct appointment with my friend and sponsor more several times up for Facebook to address the issue of accessibility for disabled people in Milan, to motivate people to solve this problem adequately, breaking down what are the cultural and social barriers, destroying the stigma and discrimination, making the made positive and concrete action to achieve social integration. This is the dream of everyone, not just people with mobility problems, because sooner or later we all disabled people, both during the course of our lives, both during the short period of old age where everyone, without exception, will need an accessible city, with no architectural barriers and in particular cultural and social . appointment occurred only five people and that says a lot about the work to be done to sensitize people to the real and tangible problem of mental block and heart that we encounter every day when you want to open a topic or a theme so important such as disability. We are all disabled, do not forget, but not all of us can put ourselves in the shoes of others and especially to help those who in need. Are no architectural barriers are those that fear, no, absolutely! We all have to change from within, leaving education in elementary, middle, high, and so on, from a family awareness, we parents have an obligation to teach our children that what respect for the person, for those who are in disadvantaged conditions. What we now live, the city that our parents and our grandparents before they left us, we live it because our predecessors did not have the slightest consideration and foresight to take out as much as possible barriers, cultural, and social in the new generations to come. We do not even we get the same error. We will meet in old age, with motor problems and with so many barriers that we ourselves, were young, we did not want to break down. And, therefore, that we can not blame only ourselves. Let's build the future of tomorrow today! A hug and good reflection at all, "
