I actually sent the link to that arcilte to myself, because it was chock-full of problematic language, and I was inspired to use it for my class on language of exclusion/language of inclusion. IIRC (I can't get at the arcilte here), Ian Brown also called Fre9dere9ic broken or some such.(Some of his language about Be9atrice, the Bilodeau sister, was also obnoxiously patronizing—I'm paraphrasing here but she was apparently beside herself as only a sixteen-year-old girl can be beside herself.)You know, it makes perfect sense for Alex to be inspired by his brother, and for Fre9de9ric to be inspired by his brother. They both sound like remarkable people, and they're family—they have a relationship that is about far more than Alex's skiiing or Fre9de9ric's cerebral palsy, or a shopworn narrative that makes people feel better about people with disabilities. I'm really grateful that you and the rest of the FWD/Forward crew are shining a spotlight on other stories.
