The Wrong Message Still

The Wrong Message Still: The author writes about why he dislikes "disability simulations," in which the non-disabled attempt to see what it's like to be disabled: "I am baffled as to why non-disabled people see a need to simulate a disability in order to understand our situation. We, the people who live with disabilities . . . must reclaim our dignity and say 'No!' to simulations. I long for the day when disability simulations are dumped into the trash cans of oblivion.

"What can be done to help the nondisabled masses understand the disability experience? Talk to us and ask us questions!"
