I informed the Orange County, Calif. court of my disability and was laughed at. The deposition was taken in a public building without an elevator. I cannot manage stairs because of dizziness and visual problems. The court denied his request. My neuropsychologist has 5 years of postdoctoral education and has treated thousands of patients.
Discrimination wears many faces in the world.
I sympathize with people who face discrimination in access to public accommodations. I have been denied access to justice and I believe my rights under the ADA have been violated. I believe I'd get better treatment if I'd killed someone. It is a tenet of the disability rights movement to discourage stereotyping. So it is with a sad heart that I hear the notion that all awareness days are the same.
