I have cerebral palsy, my condition affects my speech as well as muscle control. This means I move differently to other people and suffer uncontrollable sporadic movements. Despite what some people assume my mental capacity is entirely intact.

Meet Lee Kingsbury!

At the age of 32, Lee is used to encountering negativity...

“Generally the negativity comes in people staring as I pass but what gives me more trouble is when people infantilise me due to my difficulty speaking. Often speaking down to me or ignoring me by talking to my assistants rather than me."

Lee has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and he's grown accustomed to the prejudices that come with having a disability.

But, in an effort to change the way people view him, as well as help others dealing with the same stigmas, Lee decided to make a change.

I had just got tired of people staring at me, so figured I’d do something to give them a positive reason to stare.

Didn't your parents teach you?! It's not nice to stare!

Did your parents emphasize the importance of not staring or gawking at those with physical or mental disabilities?
