“Podcaster would benefit from a course on disability studies, speaking with an SLP, an OT, a deaf/blind interpreter. There are assistive devices that can allow people to communicate simply using their eye gaze. Very disrespectful terminology, decreased value being put onto individuals with disabilities, and feeding into the assumption that persons who are non verbal or neurodivergent should be treated differently. The community supports person-first language, empowering terminology, and the presence of ongoing respect. Golden rule is to ALWAYS speak to people with the assumption that they can understand and comprehend everything. Do not talk down, do not baby/pity, do not assume lack of cognition. Treat all humans as HUMANS.”
