The Alec Shelbrooke MP incident and when people assume you're not disabled.

MP for Elmet & Rothwell Alec Shelbrooke was said to have been "resting his eyes" during a debate in parliament this week. Shelbrooke is partially deaf and was resting his head near a speaker in order to listen to proceedings. 主播大秀's Newsbeat retweeted the thread and has since issued an apology. We share our personal stories of when people believe we are not disabled. We also talk about Stevie Wonder and James Corden's Carpool Karaoke skit on the Late Late Show and discuss the conspiracy theories that follow Wonder.
