If I understand your reference to before time, it means 'before disability'
right?

If that is right, there was no before time for me.  Disabled from birth.  I
suspect you are right, IMHO, most would not listened.  Two reasons.  1.
Guilt and 2. a feeling of someday I may be the disabled one.  A "There
before the grace of God go I" sort of thought.

The mainsteam world can't tell our stories, partly because it isn't
qualified, and partly because they can't be honest, or they my be held
accountable.

In a scrappy mood tonight.

Peace,

Vince
