A b s t r a c t. For each individual, extremely important sense of self-fulfillment, autonomy and creative seems to be a control of their own life. Among people with disabilities, there are people well suited for socially satisfied with their lives, often very creative and independent, leading a normal family life, social, professional and even attaining considerable success. As well as there is also a group of people who having a sense of "external control" and marginalization, reducing their chances in social and professional integration. Extremely strongly marked by a category named as automarginalization. While factors or external barriers -still very numerous -resulting in the exclusion of people with disabilities are easy to eliminate by organized social activities and the legal obstacles as many psychological and social are still the main obstacle on the way to genuine social and professional rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. It is difficult to answer and even more difficult to estimate the extent to which the retreating of disabled people attitudes themselves are factors contributing to marginalization. It should be emphasized that such attitudes are often the result of subtle linkages emerging as a result of the impact of multiple external barriers. However, note the presence of such automarginalization factors; their existence constitutes an important element of the vicious circle of marginalization.
