One of Australia’s leading disability advocates has written about the part of Dylan Alcott’s Australian of the Year speech that made him “cringe”.

“Dylan’s story is a delicious blend of inspiration and all the good feels. But forgive me, it’s been hardly 24 hours since he was awarded the accolade and I’m already feeling a little bit cringe listening to the interviews, about how much he loves his disability and I am a little worried about what might become of all this in 12 months time.

Dr Taleporos wrote that Dylan often describes how he grew to love his disability after once hating it. “Does that make me less evolved in my disability journey? Does it mean that I am yet to reach my ultimate destiny of fully embracing and celebrating my disability? Some may presume so.” Alcott, who was born with a tumour wrapped around his spinal cord, has credited sport for saving his life.

He’s another celebrity pick , he will start if not already preaching about the disability lifestyle , more taxpayers money wasted on the bottom less pit of NDIS , endless rorting , u read his acceptance speech ALL it was Look at ME as usual the establishment lapped it up

Didn't even make it 24hrs before the media was able to find someone who could fill their consistent need to throw shit at something people actually felt proud of

Some people embrace their disability not allowing it to define who they are. Some don't. Not every disabled person agrees or has the same mindset even if their disability is identically the same. Part of the reason a negative stigmatism exists can be attributed directly to this.

I worked with disabled people - the ones that can't clean, wash or feed themselves etc, any one of those people, and those who actually look after those people deserve that AOTY title many times more.

Praise pours in for Dylan Alcott after being named Australian of the YearSports stars and disability advocates are applauding Dylan Alcott after he was named the first-ever Australian of the Year with a visible disability. When Labor came up with the NDIS it was supposed to be paid for with an increase in the Medicare levy. Tony Abbott scrapped the levy and left the NDIS without funding. Thank you for updating your reporting and correcting the error in claiming Dylan was the first disabled winner outright. It's still not the wording I would have chosen but at least you're not erasing Grace Tames autism now.
