The complainant's wife gave evidence that her husband's manager said she "did not consider autism a disability, but a 'superpower'"

Consultation opens on adapting ‘powered mobility devices’ definition

The White House has appealed a court order requiring it to provide American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation of press briefings by US president Donald Trump or his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, with its legal representatives previously making the argument that “requiring the president to share...
It’s wonderful to have the story told first hand from the four students who led the protest. Each were very different characters. But you see their passion as if it all happened just yesterday.
What amazes and troubles me as a British person who is ‘hard of hearing’ and a kid growing up in the 80’s, I knew nothing of this amazing story in #DisabledRights history until tonight.
And why is #Gallaudet still the only #Deaf university in the world?
When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.
Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.
Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.

#DearNonDisabledPeople I cant speak for each and all disabled people (but I'm kinda going to),
We don't need your tears.
We don't need you blubbing poor-me sympathy sounds and infantilizing condescension.
When you meet someone who's say, autistic, with cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, wheelchaired, tourettes, blind, whatever... remember that's still a human in there.
I'm sure many of you mean well, but try imagine what that's like from our perspective. Imagine how you'd receive that. This is our life.

We don't need your tears.
We need the supports.
Stop kicking the supports away.
Stop those who do.
