> My critiquing of the social model comes from a different direction to Tom

> I criticise the fact that the social model has not really taken on board the
> issues it purports to and still contains within its structure the same
> inherited impairment based negativities and self-stigmatisation.
>
> Do not assume either that there is a simple Medical model/Social Model

> board such issues as neurodiversity and fully appreciate difference that I

> I hope before too long to make the text of my Lancaster paper available on

> As for that drama documentary I had a neurodiverse friend who phoned me up
> who was very distressed about it particularly the portrayal of the AS
> daughter as she thought that the portrayal was very inaccurate and certainly
> did not show autism as it is.
>
> Wendy Ainscow might well have various issues of her own but essentially she

> how can I sympathise with that.
