Spasticus autisticus

  Watching the paralympics opening ceremony was bloody brilliant.  Spasticus Autisticus ...we are who we are...we are somebody. YES!   Now Miranda, what say you about NORMAL people?  The next time a 'normal' gets up my nose I shall say 'spasticus autisticus' ...We my twin and I (this photo) had plenty of opportunity to do that today.  Would you believe it...the disabled persons adaption grant is only allowed to be used on bathrooms and door ramps.  Ok this effectively means "I can get in my house and wash myself...however I cannot get into the bedroom, kitchen, cook or move around my house!  That's what my twin has to fight.  For some reason I was 'allowed' to use my grant on an accessible kitchen.  Do you think the fact I'm 'Dr' Margaret Kennedy had anything to do with this?  Yes, I do..  They wouldn't DARE tell me what to do but they shove my twin around like shit.  Am I annoyed?...yes I'm 'Sparticus' ('Sparky-cursing'). 

Despite the paralympic...two finger salute to 'normals' tonight the reality is after this will anyone really be 'Miranda' breaking the glass ceiling.  Will the book of human rights fly into the face of these faceless, gut-less...beaurocrats? Never. 

The David Camerons of the world, hypocritically saying how wonderful paralympians are will not stop ATOS crucifying disabled people.  He paid them billions to do so.

Here in Ireland I have never witnessed such blatant disrespect for my twin.  and at times for me too.  The sheer 'non-existance' of a rights perspective in Ireland is staggering.  Staggering.  The sheer powerlessness of sick and disabled people who endure the bossy, arrogant and quite frankly abusive attitudes of professionals of all ilks is beyond comprehension.

So my twin with be spanking clean in her new bathroom but she won't be able to cook!  She cannot use her wheelchair in the kitchen.  But being clean when you die of starvation is whats gauranteed. 

I'd rather die as a dirty smelly disabled/sick women if I had my power and rights to decide myself how to use an adaption grant to my own home.

This is simply  abuse by service providers.  To be trodden on by this discriminatory bullshit cries out for justice.

I'm sorry Ann they treated you like this to day.  'spasticus autisticus', to them , you are who you are....you are somebody....where is Miranda to break the glass ceiling? 

MIRANDA?  where are you?
