| I'm always under attack for unpopular remarks, comments, views - so know
| doubt what I'm about to write may offend some - apologies therefore in
| advance.....
|
| Question: What happened to....
|
| Answer: We told him to stop asking intrusive questions - but he wouldn't
| be told...
|
| Answer: If you've got a few hours you're welcome to come back with us
| and watch the home made video we did - it's in colour
|
| Answer: The thing with brain damage, as you probably know from
| personal experience, is that it impacts on people in a
| variety of
| ways
|
| Answer: Nothing in comparison with what's likely to happen to people
| who think they have a right to ask those type of questions
|
| Answer: We would happily demonstrate it for you
|
| Answer: Sorry, I wouldn't want to clutter your brain with the details

| PS To be honest, my REAL response depending on the person or
| situation, would be to laugh. However, on a serious note, it's important
to
| realise that people from different cultures respond to " an impairment" in
| different ways - in parts of Africa, for example, it is not meant to be an
| 'intrusive" question but rather as an 'acceptance' of the person.
