Welcome to Disability Awesome. Each week, this post will feature a person or persons with mental and / or physical disabilities who are doing awesome things! As someone with an disability, I love it when others when disabilities do great things!
Discussions about autism are abundant online…until the conversation gets uncomfortable.
Autism advocate Kaelynn Partlow challenges the way our current support system is set up as it pertains to meaningful goals for those who are profoundly impacted by their autism.
She introduces the metaphorical idea of the stepstool instead of the ladder – a new way to think about progress, contribution, and dignity for those who can’t meet society’s narrow definitions of success.
If you care about inclusion, this is the autism conversation everyone needs to hear, but few are brave enough to have.
