To eveyone
Can you please try and not use 'metaphors'.
As I have mentioned:
' I have Asperpergers Syndrome, with Dyspraxia (Developmental Co-ordination
Disorder)
and Dyslexia'
This means I have problems with understanding metaphors etc.
If you do need to use them, please can you explain what you are saying in
accessible language, so people like myself with specific learning
difficulties can
be 'included', not 'excluded' in debates.
'We are all different and it is these differences which we all should
celebrate
within each Human-Being'.
'Language can Socially-Exclude, so all I am saying, think of some of
us who are different'.
Thank-you
