Lovely Indie article - Profoundly disabled I wouldn't have her any other way

[saintlydamemrsturnip]

thread about a lovely Indie article. I put it in In the News for a wider audience but thought some on here might like to see it too.

so glad you put it in here as well(I have put it on fb)

Thanks for that,

Thinking of media stuff you have reminded me there was also a bit in the guardian on sat (not very IT literate, so don't know how to make a link to it series is entitled "what I am really thinking" it was someone with a blue badge, and I thought it was a really good response to all the blue badge strop stuff that was on the MN main threads,

Lovely, thanks.

Thanks SDMrsT. Bought a big grin to my face just reading it.

what I'm really thinking

We were nearly refused entry to a zoo last week. I asked for a disabled ticket (cheaper) and carers (free) - I have to bring a carer for ds1 if I am taking the other 2 boys out and she was also being paid by me.

They refused and said it was only for people who needed a carer to push them around. I pointed out that ds1 has higher rate mobility and a blue badge so he let us through.

But definitely a case of not 'looking' disabled enough.
