<p dir="ltr">What messages and narratives do disabled influencers convey on social media? </p>
<p dir="ltr">To answer the question, we have to examine the concept of the “disability paradox”. </p>
<p dir="ltr">‘Why do people with serious and persistent disabilities report that they experience a good or excellent quality of life when to most external observers these people seem to live an undesirable daily existence?’. This phenomenon was first described by <a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/08982643221108660#bibr1-08982643221108660" target="_blank">Albrecht and Devlieger (1999)</a> and was referred to as the “disability paradox”. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The disability paradox shows us that physicians are not always able to imagine “good health” beyond the boundaries of medicine. A recent study reports that 82.4% of U.S. physicians believe that people with significant disability have a worse quality of life than nondisabled people (Iezzoni et al. 2021).The following reports show the potential of social media for people with disabilities in the area of self-determination and self-advocacy. Watch the video about disability influencers on disability paradox and respond to the following questions:</p>
