I have to cover the social model with respect to autism in less time than
that, I suggest Colin and Geoff become more efficient in communicating :)
There is little point in trying to disseminate good practice that is so
obscure and difficult for people to access in the first place, and that is
not the result of research it is just plain logic.
Hey you know what, there is a good recommendation there to employ me as a
communication impaired communicator who is better at it than the tried and
trusted rusty academics. Ok if I wanted to make a meal of all these issues,
I could drag you all into great depth with cognates of suffering and
passion, and all the different cultural and historical artefacts and
significances of these "simple" English words.
Well, whether it is my passion or not I will be compassionate and pass on
that rather than pass it on for it encompasses and leave the unexpressable
unsaid. Que se passe, passe, if that it not passé passim pari passu.
I hope you have endured the happenstance patiently :)
Go on, look up the etymology of passion and the origin of patient and tell
me if there is not a connect there, I dare you !
