The entire point of the human built environment is accessibility. Literally every technology starts as assistive technology

Shoes! Glasses! Clothing!

What makes things possible for someone makes things easier for everyone and all evolutionary roads lead to easy

It always amazes me just how much money people are prepared to spend to avoid doing the right thing.
Rather like the Dominos accessibility case in US, the amount of money that gets spent on explicitly blocking disabled people from services is extraordinary www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024... That’s £100 million in 1 year to win 136 out of 10,000+ cases. #ableism #SEND
£100m spent in England on failed efforts to block children’s Send support
Exclusive: Councils win just 1.2% of tribunals, as experts see signs provision is becoming a battle with desperate families

Celebration of Neurodivergence is important.

It shouldn’t be limited to a week. Stats without effective equality and inclusion. That focus on ‘superpowers’ and gloss over the dark side!

Where is constant recognition and barrier breaking.

What personal positive impact has the last year made?

Good Samhain.
My wife is a classic Halloween trick or treater. However she thinks it’s a double trick that I slept so now and i’m a hyperactive ADHDer in the morning. Isn’t that a double treat!!!! #ADHD #insomnia

I picked up my phone to put an alarm on 4 hours ago but instead I’ve created this Bluesky account. And love it here, no ads, no shouty things screaming from the screen, no overstimulation, how have I survived without this before #ADHD
