let's resurrect some threads cal buried with his blabber.
i'll start:
today, i attended an AS awareness meeting at uni. the lecturer was mainly a knob (he subscribes to the "social model" of AS, and missed half the points completely). his co-presenter - a student with AS - was as cool as fuck, though - really engaging, and got several messages over bloody well. a real person, too. in fact, i've invited him here, so watch this space.
several people came up afterwards to ask me stuff, and ask if they could contact me about AS, and the disability officer is going to email everyone, to say they can contact me, or even that i'll give a presentation where they can "hotseat" me. one more blow for AS advocacy, i reckon - stop getting "experts" to talk at people, and start getting people with AS to say what it's like.
