I guess, after writing a couple posts on this blog, I'm finally figuring out what it's about: talking about disabilities in a way that the able bodied don't often hear. This talk is of course very common within the disability community, but from my experience, it doesn't often get out.
Here is a great post by Ruth over at Wheelie Catholic that delivers on the kind of stuff I'm interested in. Thanks for your thoughtful post Ruth. Here's a snippit for you lazy clickers:
"Seeing disability as a disadvantage does a disservice to all of us. It denigrates the creative, resourceful solutions that people find while living in a world that is not universally designed. Such a view , unfortunately, grows things like shame, fear and despair in its garden rather than nurturing the human spirit and embracing the individuality of each of us."
You go girl! Tell 'em. These are the kind of thoughts that this blog is about. Are these the kind of things that readers are interested in? What would you like to see more of on this blog?
