I don't think the image is there to stimulate pity. I think it appears to be loving, describing how enablement is done in that family perhaps (but I am not in the mind of the photographer, family or Justin).<br />There are some people who can not provide their own consent, despite efforts to ascertain this - this is an uncomfortable reality perhaps. Should these people be excluded from having a public presence through photography or through representation by those who know them well.<br />I want to share a third hand story. A prominent excellent disability organisation had some photos of a woman with her family. I do not think she consented on her own behalf. She is smiling, she is well dressed. However, I was told that moments before the photo her favourite toy was removed from her. I presume this was to fight off any image of her being construed as a child. I thought it was sad that her preferences had to denied in a charade of normality. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453408645507907009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362155561302366616.post-17542662349542966012014-07-11T21:06:01.288-07:002014-07-11T21:06:01.288-07:00Thanks, Samantha.

As an aging carer, I too find this photo and the thoughtlessness behind it offensive and damaging to our true needs, which can only be met when pwd are given the same respect as people without a disability.wynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631802960609972936noreply@blogger.com
