With Lupus and Fibromyalgia I find myself restricted in many ways by my health, it is then even more frustrating when thoughtlessness and lack of planning for those with disabilities restrict you even more. The more your disability restricts you, the more society restricts you!!

I will be sharing the link to this page with everyone I know. <br /><br />I like the way it is written from the perspective of an able-bodied person because it takes away the chance that the reader might dismiss it as "another rant from a radical disability advocate" and increases the chance that able-bodied readers would be able to identify with Matthew's perspective and actually think further about what they have just read. <br /><br />Those of us with chronic illness who deal with daily disability need 'able-bods' to 'get on board' (if you pardon my tram lingo pun) to support us and facilitate better design and accessibility in our society and environment. As Matthew Dunn so pertinently pointed out, the challenge has "nothing to do with narrow halls and everything to do with narrow minds". <br /><br />I have often remarked that attitudinal barriers are worse than the physical ones but they are very closely related - when people can open their minds and improve societal attitudes, the physical barriers will become more obvious and more likely to be removed or prevented. That's my hope anyway.<br /><br />Matthew, thank you again for articulating the experience of Michelle and so many others.<br />Michelle, how lucky you are for having such a great team of mates who could help you so effectively. Thank you for chasing up this article.<br /><br />Hope and hugs to you xxxx<br /><br />Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.com
