Without having read the document (which is the only way to proceed without prejudice is it not (is there a signifier for satire I can interpolate here) ....) is if I have not lost my metaphorical thread to wonder what you mean here by disability and confusing it with impairment, even if impairment is an appropriate phrase. An intellectual disability would be a legalistic or imposed disadvantage that occurs on the basis of some subjective notion of the others intellectual capacity as judged by them. An intellectual impairment is probably even more complex but I am not going to refer back to my paper of some years ago other than to say. What is intellect anyway, I guess and suppose I know what you mean, I can even deduce something of your spirit, but I think your use of language, in a Whorfian sense is an imperative compelling you to err. What does it mean to have an intellectual lack of capacity, why it means no less than to be confuzzled and perplexed by what I am trying to teach you, and there be a moral . Nah in the very statement you are assuming a superiority, but you do have this disability nay impairment nay lack of capacity in that you have failed to discover, or reason that for yourself. So it runs, as rivers do, and seas do swallow, and no I am not going there summers notwithstanding. Guess the next stage is to actually 'ave a butchers at it and see if my opinion still stands, now if that is not science I do be buggered as to be what is :) Larry > -----Original Message----- > From: The Disability-Research Discussion List [mailto:DISABILITY- > [log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Fiona Place > Sent: 23 July 2010 23:45 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: What does it mean to have an intellectual disability?
