Thanks Xeni. Hurray for all of this!
Any of you Boingers that run a business…actively recruit disabled people if you want a better company. There’s a lot of talent out there going to waste because of what often amounts to passive discrimination. Not that there isn’t plenty of active discrimination going around, but there is so much misunderstanding when it comes to how the disabled community is perceived.
And, yeah, the term disabled itself is problematic. But it is used in law, and is hard to abandon altogether.
