Mike Potter, chief executive of Disability Connect - an Auckland-based resource centre - told The AM Show on Tuesday the findings weren t a surprise. It s a reality for disabled people that we re more lonely because we re more isolated. We tend to find it more difficult to get around, to be welcome and to be included within society and our communities.   He said while the weeks-long lockdowns of last year are a memory for some, many in the disabled community are still nervous about having to do it all over again.  As soon as the Prime Minister makes an announcement that we re going into lockdown, if you ve got a disabled child in your care with an intellectual disability - they could be in their 20s or 30s - you immediately have to think about the care for tomorrow morning, you need to think about how you re going to tell them about this. they re going to come back and ask you again, again and again.
