About
Discrimination against people based on perceived ability and neurodivergence. It is an assault on human dignity that enforces arbitrary standards for whether people are included, and how people are treated for not being able to fit into these imposed norms.
Public spaces without ramps are inaccessible to people who use wheelchairs.
Modern labor puts demands on people that are extra-straining for people with many kinds of neurodivergence.
Resistance
Cripple punk as a social movement is one example of people saying "enough is enough" when it comes to representation, and people with disabilities redefining disability representation.
Signalise is a co-op partly owned by deaf people and provides access to health services and interpreting services, and won a bid in Liverpool to be the primary BSL service provider to doctors.
