United Nations Day for People With Disabilities

[matzoball]

I start Specialisterne on Monday(bricking it), and on the Friday BBC Scotland are doing a whole day of live links from our offices to commemorate United Nations Day for People With Disabilities.

 

They are doing a wee piece on us and 'hidden disabilities' to raise awareness of ASDs - so they are filming some of us going to work for the first time, and interviewing some of us too!

 

My new manager told me that I will be getting interviewed as part of it - so it will be on at some point on Friday!

 

Hopefully I will get to stick it to the Tories and the Fib Dems

anything that puts a positive spin on autism and bring it into the world that the people with it are unique and acceptional and have a right to equal oppertunities in schools,life,healthcare employement and thought has to be a plus.

Good luck in promoting the untapped potential of those on the spectrum.

well - they didn't let me brush my hair or take off my hoodie - but the interview went well! They cut it down to one sentence - kind of glad because I looked awful!!
