i pretty much agree


Analysis of my personal encounters with others indicate to my satisfaction
that we are being called upon to work with an unlevel playing field, while
trying to right that wrong, all the while making it look as though we are
perfectly content.

i am not content and i have quit trying to look like i am. i am at the point
that i try to point out the glass ceiling and the uphill climb (with some
pouring oil at your feet (or wheels).

One of the most recent reinforcements came yesterday when I spoke with the
Probate Clerk of Alexandria Virginia.  Being the executor of my Mom's
estate,
I have to meet with him and go through the documentation exercise while
executing the terms of my Mom's will.  He expressed concern with my
disability, and whether I would be able to carry out those duties.  I
replied
that my competency wasn't in question, but that accommodation was.

way to go, betty.


In the nondisabled world, there are still quarters that mistakenly assume
that the onus is on the disability community to "conform" to nondisabled
standards for delivering goods and services.  The nondisabled person has to
be aware of the laws that were drafted to protect them, and how to make best
use of the existence of those laws.


true, true, true,  oh, for the ada back in 1970.
