Well I would have thought that having the long winded moniker of being people with whatever was one
of those barriers.
I am sick of such ridiculous terminologies which serve only to absolve "people with
neurotypicality" from the social embarrasment of actually acknowleging difference on equal terms.
Anyway once you find the site http://www.penrithphoto-voice.net it is not very user friendly all you
get is an incorrectly formatted pdf download of text.
I was expecting the pictures. This is hardly a good way to get the concepts of the exhibition across
to the wider world. I was looking forward to something more.
