We Wanted to Change the World. The risks professionalisation poses to an authentic disability movement:
“The machinery of “disability inclusion” has taken over and moves at its own comfortable pace. Those organising on the ground—the ones with a real sense of urgency—are too often sidelined. And within that machinery, I worry that many have quietly stopped believing in change, resigning themselves to simply doing what their roles demand.” (Jun, Disability Debrief)

“We had a normal relationship, but people treated us differently” Personal essay by Inge Volleberg on growing up with Esther, her sister with Down Syndrome:
“In general, interactions went like this: I want to tell a funny story about my sister. Ah, they will not understand what is funny about it if they don't know about her disability. I quickly note her disability as a sidenote, so that I can tell the funny story. Now the mood shifts, the other person gets this sad look. They tell me: Aww, condolences? I am in no mood for my funny story anymore.” (May, Inclusion Europe)
In the United Kingdom:
