Dear Kenji et al,
I think the message contained in 'nothing about us, without us' is
reasonably strainghtforward and centres on the idea that whatever actions,
decisions etc. that concern disabled people ought only to go forward when
disabled people have been party to determining those actions or decisions.
In a nutshell, the issue here is one of democracy.
