The one thing that really bothers me...and really gets me...is when someone talks down to me. I am not stupid. I process language differently. And I don't need to hold your hand to cross the street, be introduced to strangers, or be given a plate of food when at a bbq, potluck, or whatever. I have my dignity & self-respect. I want that. And as I am aging I am observing that it is going right back to ground zero. The harder I push, the harder society is at stairring, pointing, and belittling. Does anyone else notice this? Also, fighting the ADA, EEOC, and for other Fed. Gov't rights it's expensive and usually a waste of time. The employer wins out a majority of the time. The employee lacks the money, time, access to legal advice, and so on. Words are just words until you put meaning behind them. I think of the ADA, and the EEOC as just that - a waste of taxpayer money. Very, very few people win out over employers due to money, time, and access to legal advice. It is the laws of nature. Those who thrive - survive, imho. |

FYI, I believe speak and write software has been part of the Apple operating system for about 20 years.

info
Some states have a department such as Indiana's, in which their lawyers will fight for your right to have accessibility, etc, as to the ADA specifications. This is who certified me as a QMRP-D. They offer tons of information. Searching your state's website should procure the information needed and if your state participates in such a program. I bet if you contact Karen at IPAS should could even help you or direct you in the right direction for your state.
