The environment should be as accessible as possible. Do not fall into that easy brainpath-route that allows you to accept the 'crip with a chip' thing and discard our needs. We are just people like you wanting the best out of life. Access means visibility, without visibility we go unseen. If we go unseen, we go unnoticed, get discarded and are further labelled as aliens.
Disability is the next big rights issue to conquer.
We're now more aware and accepting of women, ethnic minorities and gay people - disability is the fourth frontier. If you believe this section was just one big whinge, I suggest this newsgroup isn't for you. Thanks and goodnight - you'll only wind us all up and waste our time. Frequently disabled people are forced into cliche discussions with members of the great general public about 'what it's like to be disabled'. We are not walking disabilities, we are people.
