You and I - a disability perspective

This is a nice and concise piece of writing. Read it here.

There is also a link to a bigger website Getting the Truth Out. Do persevere with this. I was initially shocked and thought it was a terrible site. As you get through the pages you discover its real message though. There is an excellent video (mpeg, 30.5 MB) of a woman communicating with a communication board (but ideally go through the website first).

In the end I couldn't stop reading. It is a little hard work, but rewarding, and really excellent overall. Written by an 'autistic' woman, it's relevant to many people who are taken over and controlled by 'services' and stopped from making their voices heard.
