In a Mood

Calling the rest of the world stupid is totally too harsh, but I’m in a mood, so I will. All our lives we are faced with being called cognitively impaired. I am so over it. And we as a group probably have IQs markedly higher than normal. But the nature of our disability is that we look weird to outsiders. And our inability to talk means that we are unable to set the record straight. So now we show the world that we are highly intelligent and can talk by spelling and the world’s response is that it’s basically nonsense. 

It is infuriating.

It allows them, for intents and purposes, to continue to psychologically abuse us. Can we really fight this? Can we fight the petty bureaucrats in government, who are probably on the take, getting bribed by organizations like ASHA. I wish I believed we could. Having to be completely honest, I have to say no. 

As I said, I’m in a mood today.
