Hi Simon,
I was in Leeds until September 2nd and I also took the MA.
I totally agree with your motto. If people don't accept you because you
dribble it's not your problem but their. I'm a wheelchair-user and have
Cerebral palsy. My real strenght is to be able to accept my own impairment and
it doesn't really matter if intolerant or ignorant people refuse to speak to
me because of it. Unfortunately, if there are still people who can't
understand or refuse to understand that dribble is part of your impairment,
Simon, it''s simply means that there's a lot to do to explain the social model
of disability. I entirely agree that we don't need to even consider to operate
these things. Finally I'd say that you're right to be proud of dribbling
because after all, it's part of you.
All the best.
