I have learned so much from reading other peoples' posts. And your post and video have given me such a lot to think about.<br /><br />Thank you for putting this event together. I will definitely be participating next year.GirlWithTheCanehttp://www.girlwiththecane.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-5969599042955287702012-05-02T14:38:46.216+01:002012-05-02T14:38:46.216+01:00Hi Goldfish, I loved this video so much I have use...Hi Goldfish, I loved this video so much I have used it in my #BADD12 round-up post, I hope this is okay with you?<br /><br />You can see where I've used it here http://otonwheels.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/badd12-archive-of-tweets/<br /><br />Fantastic posts yesterday.

Another year, another BADD. But the ...Hi Goldfish.<br /><br />Another year, another BADD. But the same problems exist.<br /><br />It's funny, but after all that I've been through in the last couple of years, I've always been embarrassed and guilty to refer to myself as being disabled.<br /><br />Denial is a powerful stage in the trauma cycle.<br /><br />Yet this year, this BADD 2012, I've been aware of a change within myself.<br /><br />I'm so very, very pleased that I decided not to go with one of the web accessibility ideas I was mulling over.<br /><br />I know my article is a little light-hearted but, after the endless changes of mind for a topic and the hundreds of re-writes I've noticed a change in the way I view myself.<br /><br />I may have a small disability in comparison to the thousands of disabled folk in the UK but, for the first time, I can look at myself and say "I'm Gary and I'm disabled".<br /><br />My prior experiences within the web accessibility community have helped me along to be sure. But, and it's a massive but, it's the people - like yourself - who form the backbone of the UK's on-line disability community who have helped me the most.<br /><br />You'e absolutely right: <br /><br />You should be proud.<br /><br />I should be proud.<br /><br />We <em>all</em> should be proud.<br /><br />A great post and another great BADD.<br /><br />Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
