James, this is a powerful and well written post. I understand where why you are taking these steps and support you and your family. As someone who has been mistreated for my disability in every job I’ve had in teaching, I believe you’re taking a necessary step for change. Also, I remember the Buzz years and just love this photo of the kids.💕
Thank you, Betsy, it is really difficult to understand until you have to walk in someone else's shoes, roll in their wheelchair, or swap neurotypes. It is difficult when the systems, laws and institutions in place to help accommodate disability don't, won't and actually contribute to more harm. I surely have a better understanding of that now than I did.
