Do people with intellectual disabilities have the right to feel and show emotions just like everyone else?

Yes—of course we do! But sometimes, people try to stop us from experiencing real life. They might try to “protect” us by hiding the truth, not giving us important information, or not letting us go to things like funerals. Everyone has the right to feel all kinds of emotions—happy, sad, angry, or scared. We deserve the chance to experience life, with all its ups and downs.
