That is perfect.
And true.
Good job! :)
I really liked this.
I've had some trouble explaining the social model of disability--it makes sense in my head, but the words always come out wrong. Posts like this help me organize my explanations more coherently.
This is really good. Do you mind if I bring a copy of this to show to people at Disability Week events? (Obviously I would describe where I got it from.)
As Jannalou. Nice.
Geosaru,
Yes, you are welcome to distribute anything I post here. Thanks for asking.
Squawk.
Julia, expect attempts to explain the social model to be flawed, as the theory itself is flawed and isn't true. Try long winded word twisting explanations and propaganda which will be believed easily by those foolish enough.
Impressive and well-put!
Love this. I'm putting it on flyers to hand out at a neurodiversity event I'm helping out with.
Yay, another Square Talk. Thanks, Bev.
Disability Rights Awareness Week will be happening soon at my University.
Is it ok if I suggest that people use this in some of the publicity?
Finally, a visual aid!
(I know you already said yes to Geosaru, but I just wanted to be 100% sure)
Sanabituranima,
Yes, you may use this anywhere you think it might be helpful. I am fine with anyone using any work posted here as long as it is credited to Asperger Square 8.
Thanks,
Bev
Lets connect through ASD, view our video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj84FekP7G8 to get to know us better.
I have just posted a link to this blog on the disability studies list, I am sure there are a lot of people who are going to appreciate this.
lurker, the social model has stuck for one reason, it works. Of course all models of the world are a work in progress and there are legitimate criticisms to be made in academic circles which actually strengthen the model rather than weaken it, but that is where they belong, in academic circles not in the twisted self pitying philosophy you own to.
The author, it doesn't work. I don't even know what it's supposed to work at. It doesn't make sense. It's a misinterpretation of reality. It lacks common sense. It certainly shouldn't be acted on as it can't apply to actual society. The basics of disability shouldn't be the subject of an academic discourse. The people in academia who extended the social model to mental disabilities aren't in touch with what mental disability is like. I wonder what academic arguments dismiss natural disappointment at obviously unfortunate circumstances, as unacceptable self-pity that shouldn't be acted on.
Just ignore lurker.
I've missed the circle/square cartoons!
It would be so much funnier if it wasn't so true.
Excellent comic as always.
The Square on a Skateboard is very awesome.

A blog award for you.
Can someone explain the skateboard to me?
Hi ASpieboy,
My thought was that squares can roll as well as cirlces if provided the proper support. A skateboard would be pretty easy to provide, analogous to maybe using headphones in the office to accommodate sensory sensitivities or communicating with an autistic coworker through email rather than the phone.
Oh....
That's pretty cool.
