00:00:00,470 --> 00:00:03,033
Hola, mi nombre es Andy Imparato

2
00:00:03,033 --> 00:00:07,382
y soy el Director Ejecutivo 
de Disability Rights California.

3
00:00:07,491 --> 00:00:12,151
Puedo recordar muchas 
interacciones distintos que tuve

4
00:00:12,151 --> 00:00:14,477
con personas con discapacidad 
cuando era joven,

5
00:00:14,477 --> 00:00:18,895
pero diría que el hecho 
más impactante para mí

6
00:00:18,895 --> 00:00:23,554
fue cuando al comenzar mi 
carera profesional como abogado

7
00:00:23,566 --> 00:00:27,167
me diagnosticaron con trastorno bipolar.

8
00:00:27,967 --> 00:00:30,825
Estaba trabajando en una organización

9
00:00:30,825 --> 00:00:34,091
que abogaba por los derechos 
de personas con discapacidad

10
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:40,797
y aprendí la idea que aparece en muchas 
leyes federales sobre discapacidad,

11
00:00:40,797 --> 00:00:46,055
que la discapacidad es una parte natural 
de la experiencia humana.

12
00:00:46,425 --> 00:00:49,760
Y para mí esta idea era muy poderosa

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,542
mientras intentaba lidiar con 
un nuevo diagnóstico de trastorno bipolar.

14
00:00:54,542 --> 00:00:57,800
Creo que es mensaje que recibía
del mundo de salud mental

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,363
era que mi diagnóstico no era natural

16
00:01:02,474 --> 00:01:07,586
y que era un problema a largo plazo 
que iba a tener que abordar.

17
00:01:07,586 --> 00:01:13,083
No tenía la sensación que la experiencia 
de vivir con el trastorno bipolar

18
00:01:13,083 --> 00:01:15,696
en realidad pudiera favorecerme

19
00:01:15,696 --> 00:01:20,346
y ayudarme en mi trayectoria profesional.

20
00:01:20,346 --> 00:01:24,609
Y, rodeado de defensores de derechos 
para personas con discapacidad,

21
00:01:24,609 --> 00:01:28,006
personas con experiencias propias 
con muchos diferentes discapacidades,

22
00:01:28,006 --> 00:01:30,427
vivía en Boston en ese momento,

23
00:01:30,427 --> 00:01:34,671
comprendí que mi propia experiencia 
en realidad era una fuerza

24
00:01:34,671 --> 00:01:38,138
y una fuente de credibilidad para 
el trabajo que estaba realizando,

25
00:01:38,138 --> 00:01:42,121
y que si quería ser eficaz como defensor 
de la discapacidad

26
00:01:42,121 --> 00:01:48,364
tenía que aprender a ver mi discapacidad 
como un activo y una fuerza.

27
00:01:48,914 --> 00:01:54,988
Así que siento que la Ley para los 
Americanos con Discapacidad (ADA)

28
00:01:55,646 --> 00:02:00,263
refleja los valores del movimiento por 
los derechos de personas con discapacidad

29
00:02:00,263 --> 00:02:05,724
y uno de los más importantes valores 
es que la discapacidad es natural.

30
00:02:05,724 --> 00:02:10,572
Tu vida con una discapacidad es 
una parte natural de la experiencia humana

31
00:02:10,702 --> 00:02:15,531
Y no debe impedirte hacer 
lo que quieres hacer.

32
00:02:15,848 --> 00:02:20,887
Y si te impide hacer esas cosas, 
es discriminación, no es natural.

33
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:26,974
La idea de que la discriminación no es 
natural y las discapacidades son naturales

34
00:02:26,974 --> 00:02:30,985
fue algo poderoso para mí y me ayudo 
a enmarcar mi experiencia como

35
00:02:30,985 --> 00:02:34,852
persona con una discapacidad a 
largo plazo, que adquirí como adulto.

36
00:02:37,894 --> 00:02:41,554
Lo más importante que el movimiento 
por los derechos de los discapacitados

37
00:02:41,554 --> 00:02:44,850
obtuvo de la Ley para los 
Americanos con Discapacidad

38
00:02:44,963 --> 00:02:49,546
fue el marco de los temas de discapacidad
como temas de derechos civiles

39
00:02:49,546 --> 00:02:58,498


40
00:02:58,498 --> 00:03:05,028


41
00:03:05,028 --> 00:03:10,655


42
00:03:10,655 --> 00:03:13,520


43
00:03:13,523 --> 00:03:18,843


44
00:03:18,942 --> 00:03:23,612


45
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:29,810


46
00:03:29,810 --> 00:03:35,042


47
00:03:35,042 --> 00:03:42,492


48
00:03:42,492 --> 00:03:47,658


49
00:03:47,658 --> 00:03:52,707


50
00:03:52,707 --> 00:03:57,887


51
00:03:57,953 --> 00:04:02,350


52
00:04:02,350 --> 00:04:07,340


53
00:04:07,408 --> 00:04:14,088


54
00:04:14,088 --> 00:04:18,314
