Not Hitting Your Head: My Gorilla is Quite Tame
http://nothittingyourhead.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-gorilla-is-quite-tame.html
Not Hitting Your Head. Saturday, May 2, 2009. My Gorilla is Quite Tame. I've been browsing the posts of the Blogging Against Disablism Day 2009. And one of the most interesting things I came across was a link from the 2008 day, The Gorilla in Your House. Which was an extended comparison between living with a disability and living with a 200kg primate. And it comes with its own private celebrations of athleticism and cunning.

How come all this accessibility is only my problem? I carry on with my life and if I can't get somewhere then I can't - maybe I ask for help.
