Braille Is Beautiful, and Braille Is Literacy | By Dr. Kirk Adams | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op
https://drkirkadams.com/braille-is-beautiful-braille-is-literacy/Kirk Adams argues braille is not an enrichment activity but literacy itself, and that the right principle is not braille or technology but braille and technology. Then he fact-checks his own side: the familiar 10% claim rests on a 1979 report, and the 90% employment figure on a 1996 study of 74 adults.

I'm autistic. Here's what happened to us this week.
- A whistleblower alleged chronic neglect, bedbugs, and staff sleeping on duty at a Maine residential autism provider. Meanwhile, the company billed Medicaid nearly $27.8 million for fewer than 16 clients.
- A federal panel just voted to nearly double annual autism funding to $760 million. But the vote was rushed, and public comments from autistic advocates didn't even reach the committee until the day before the decision.
- A massive new study of over 170,000 health records confirmed a massive gap: autistic girls and women are waiting an average of 3.4 years longer than boys for a diagnosis, leaving them without vital accommodations.
If you are waiting years for an evaluation or relying on state-funded care to keep a loved one safe... this isn't abstract policy talk. This is Thursday.
What does the fight for support look like where you live?

PCB is happy to see the National Constitution Center expanding tactile offerings for blind & low vision visitors.
However, the current schedule is limited.
PCB encourages the Center to build on this progress.
We would welcome the chance to help think through what broader access could look like.
This is a good start. Let’s keep moving forward.
Accessibility is a right, not a luxury.

Critics Alarmed as Trump Leverages Shutdown to Gut Special Education Office

Pioneering disability rights advocate Helen Keller was born on this day in 1880. An inspiration to many, her legacy is extensive. We're pleased to offer powerful tools for teaching with Crip Camp about Disability Rights and the contemporary Disability Rights activists who picked up her torch.

Empire of Normality
Neurodiversity and Capitalism
by Robert ChapmanThis is a priority read for me!
I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.

Happy #IDPWD colleagues, comrades and community!
Natalie Wade and I got you a present. Well, it is probably a practical present for the Attorney-General, but you might like to open it for him.
The article is free until 31 December 2023 to celebrate IDPWD (thanks Leadership from SAGE Journals and Deb Candy).
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1037969X231206831

Too mad to be true II - The promises and perils of the first-person perspectivehttps://www.psychiatrieenfilosofie.nl/too-mad-to-be-true-ii
The second Too Mad To Be True conference that was dedicated to exploring the various links between philosophy and madness. The atmosphere was vibrant and it initiated new ways of thinking and communicating around issues of madness and philosophy. The central theme was both relevant to philosophical and mad theories and practices: ' The promises and perils of the first-person perspective'. The conference was hybrid: both in person, in Ghent, Belgium, as well as online.

Sanism is normalized in relationships with institutions.
It’s not talked about.
It’s woven tightly into unquestioned assumptions (common sense knowledge)
It’s a tool for power and control.#MadLiterature
