"This, in short, is the presumption of competence. This is how most non-disabled people live most of their days. They don’t expect that the majority of the people they meet every day will talk down on them, will dismiss or ignore them, will show contempt for their existence. All this happens to us every day. But not during those three days, when we are equals – as the laws of the universe say we are but the behavior of a majority wants to overrule. To make things even better, for the most part we are the ones everyone wants to hear from, as it should be: we are the experts on us." Amy Sequenzia
