I have been reading this discussion board for a while, but I have never felt compelled to write before. As a person with CP and epilepsy, I am unaware of whether I am neuro diverse or not. I feel very strongly about the 'hierachy of disability' thread that is present in this current debate. Indivdual impairment and experience are indeed unique, but collectively we can all empathise with issues of power oppression and difficulties within our lives, neuro diverse or not As a disabled student in higher education, I felt slightly insulted by Stephen's comments. Incidentally I find attitudes towards my epilepsy more disabling than my CP, hidden impairements CAN BE as disabling as 'visiable' impairments, is this the correct phrase? ________________End of message______________________ Archives and tools for the Disability-Research Discussion List are now located at: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research.html You can JOIN or LEAVE the list from this web page.
