Happy World Down Syndrome Day !!!

People with Down Syndrome are an irreplaceable part of the disability and neurodivergent communities, and we need to do a better job at including them! Don't forget about them in your activism!

We see accessibility in too narrow a way. We see it as getting access to places. We tend not to think about it as getting access to information. A convoluted sentence with words like 'convoluted' in them can be just as much a barrier as an uncut curb. So, now, we are at the stage of making sure that information is presented in an accessible manner, like we are ramping language.

Dave Hingsburger: "Plain can be Beautiful," Of Battered Aspect. 15 January, 2015.

Confession: I grew up with the story of how, as a toddler, I was almost misdiagnosed as Intellectually Disabled* because of my cerebral palsy, and how that almost condemned me to a life in an institution.

I was therefore bigoted against the intellectually disabled for much of my life (though if you asked me at the time, I would have denied it), because in the back of my mind, accepting those people into my cohort felt like a threat.

This paragraph, and that analogy, snapped me out of it. If I am fully human, even if I need tools like an elevator to get to the second floor, than an intellectually disabled person is also clearly fully human, even if they need tools to navigate complex ideas.
