EVERY TIME AN ACADEMIC INSTITUTION REJECTS MY NEEDS AS A DISABLED STUDENT.

such a story that I have been in silence for about a few months but no more! I worked previously, around a few months ago in an in-person lab full-time. I was doing an independent study and was at a point of looking to start data collection. This lab btw isn't inclusive...(2/n)

Stigmatising a person who has medical issues such as anxiety, panick attack as phsychopath is attrocious! Many dont seek medical attention due to this stigma.

First, let's set the scene with a couple of key facts:
👉 In the UK alone, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people have a disability
👉 80% of those people have an invisible disability
👉 The UK workforce contains over 4.4m disabled people
Okay, now onto the bad stuff👇

This doesn't seem very inclusive or supportive @Lowes. This is how you really treat disabled employees, right @LowesCareers? @USEEOC @DisabilityIN

For context - a resolutions committee that includes many unelected staffers pre-prioritized the hundreds of resolutions.
Their picks on disability issues were chosen over those submitted by the actual Disability Committee (PLWD).
This is ableism @OntarioNDP

While we’re talking ableism in politics.
This whole Convention is again centered on inaccessibility - which don’t end with closed captioning FYI.
No lead time to read resolutions. 400 in 24 hours!
No details on elections.
No way to contribute via chat - must be able to speak.

@DrTedros "Many of us either experience some form of disability ourselves, or we have a family member, or friend who experiences disability. But far too often, when they seek out health care, our brothers and sisters with disability are being left behind"-@DrTedros #DisabilityInclusion
@DrTedros "The barriers they may face are numerous, including the physical environment of health facilities, the attitudes of health workers, or the communication of health information"-@DrTedros #DisabilityInclusion
Even the most cursory glance at the economic situation of people with disabilities in Canada paints a bleak picture. Disparities in income, wealth, and economic opportunities have widened since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the proposed....1/7
Canadian Disability Benefit has yet to become a law, it serves as an important reminder to analyze and understand the economic challenges faced by those with disabilities. 2/7

Hello #a11y crowd!
I know that a lot of people have been following some comments I made regarding content/trigger warnings, so I figured I'd gather all my comments in a thread with some anecdotal best practices and food for thought for people who are interested. (1/20)

First off, I'm humbled by the number of #accessibility professionals who are following this conversation and taking my words so seriously. I meant my comment to be a one-off comment regarding better care and consideration in UX regarding mental health in/and digital #a11y. (2/20)
ดิฉันจะเป็นออทิสติก ปัจจุบันเป็นคนออทิสติกที่เป็นคนไทยคนเดียวที่ได้รับทุน ทุนเรียนปริญญาเอกสาขาเเพทยศาสตร์อยู่ที่สหราชอาณาจักร ทุนจากสหภาพยุโรปนะคะ ดิฉันมั่นใจว่ามีความรู้ ความสามารถเเละประโยชน์มากกว่า ส.ส บางคนคะ กรุณาเลิกเอาความพิการมาล้อเลียนได้เเล้วคะ

นอกจากนี้ก็ได้เคยเป็นตัวแทนประเทศไทยไปงานรับโนเบลสาขาสันติภาพ (Nobel Peace Prize) ในปี 2015 , ฝึกงานที่ Smithsonian Institution, DC ได้ทุนตั้งแต่มัธยมปลายจนถึงปัจจุบัน (ไม่ใช่ทุนรัฐบาลไทยและไม่มีข้อผูกมัด) และอื่นๆอีกมากมาย ไม่ได้จะอวดคะ แต่จะบอกว่าคนพิการทำได้มากกว่าที่คุณคิด
คนพิการสามารถทําได้มากกว่าที่ใครคิด ถ้าเรามีการให้โอกาสคนพิการในด้านการศึกษา เช่นทุนศึกษาต่อต่างประเทศเหมือนคนทั่วไป (ทุนเราเป็นทุนรัฐบาลและมหาวิทยาลัยต่างประเทศแบบไม่มีข้อผูกมัด) จ้างงานคนพิการมากขึ้นและเปลี่ยนทัศนคติในตัวคุณ / stereotypes เกี่ยวกับคนพิการนะคะ #ablelism
