 Counter-stereotype, reverse stereotype, or antistereotype is the reverse of a stereotype. Although

counter-stereotypes arise in opposition to stereotypes,
they may eventually become stereotypes themselves if
they are too popular.

Anti stereotypes meaning

 People often stereotype people with disability's as dumb.

Also they are considered to look and act different to other
people.
All of these stereotypes come from the media, since in
real life not all people with disability's match this
description, these people are called anti stereotypes.

Disability:

When we think of disability we so often think of wheelchairs (understandable

when you consider the disability symbol that is used absolutely everywhere), yet
only 5% of disabled people actually use a wheelchair. There are a lot of
disabilities that exist to humans the two main types of disabilities are mental and
physical.
