Handicapism is a sociological term, which describes a theory and a set of practices that promote unequal and unfair treatment, discrimination and oppression of peoples with apparent or assumed disability, a concept like to racism or sexism. Here, people are categorized by the type of apparent or assumed physical or mental disability and at the same time on this basis assigned each of the groups certain abilities, skills, and/or character traits or denied. (The affiliation to the respective category of Disability as a fundamental determinant of human abilities and characteristics: For example, all autistic people are emotionally cold or are good in calculation; "mentally handicapped", but have a good heart, a sunny disposition, etc.) Initially, it is not necessarily a negative label. These stereotypes in turn serve as a reason for handicapism practices and have an influence on the attitudes and behavior towards the people of the respective group. Also the labeling has effects on the person in each category. Their options for action are limited, and the person's identity changed. == Assumptions, myths (selection) == Handicapism said, people with disabilities are * Dependent (forever child) * Recipients (the allegory of holding cap in hand, begging) * Defective, deficient, dysfunctional, and therefore inferior beings * Especially in view of the labor market less efficient, incapacitated or ''substandard work force'' * Suffering, pitiable and * To prefer the company of other disabled people〔( Handicapism ) (video), retrieved 17.
