(8,050 posts)and one that I have also faced over the years. Just because I have a disability doesn't mean I can speak on behalf of someone from a different disability community. For instance, I would never presume to speak with any semblance of authority on Deaf issues or on behalf of the Deaf movement. So there's a lot of nuance here to explore.
And I'm glad to see you have an understanding of the dilemma, which is the first and perhaps most important step. I figured, from the language in your post ("neurotypical" I think it was) that you had an awareness of all this, but wanted in any case to make my point.
I know some of the People First activists, and it's good to know they're on board (and on the board) with what you're doing.
Good luck with your work.
