Ask us to change what we have in place.

people will immediately back away from and say, Well, you know, that's not gonna work.

I I think about the work that was done in the seventies just to make like

handicap ramps accessible so people could get into restaurants and and for a person who has uh extreme disabilities to be able to eat in a restaurant.

You know, that kind of stuff didn't happen before.

And and I think we're facing this with our intellectual differences.

And and you know we we know that the movement is growing and that there is uh probably gonna be major changes going forward.

I I just read

that the National Education Association has finally acknowledged that um gifted people who are not um accommodated

appropriately for their their advanced learning is just as detrimental as someone who is not accommodated for their deficits.

So, you know, that's just recent and that that shouldn't be

taking that long for that to be recognized, just just the vanilla gifted part.

And then I think the other thing is we do we are an anti intellectual society.

And and we feel like

Um, oh well if you're so smart, you can figure it out and

we only accommodate people who are different, who are geniuses, if they're like the Elon Musk of the world, right?

If you or Steve Jobs, you know, you can be a a a kind of a

jerk in lots of ways and get away with it if you're wealthy and powerful.

But you can be the nicest person in the world who's just asking for a basic accommodation and and you might lose your job.

Or or you your marriage might fall apart because your partner isn't willing to recognize that what you're doing is not intentional.
