wildeabandon: A spider in its web (spider)
I've been going back through some of the handouts for my spiritual direction course this morning. I read an article that I'd obviously skipped over when it was first shared, and was a bit taken aback to find that it contained some pretty egregious anti-autistic and anti-blind ableism.

I emailed my tutor to say "Er, maybe let's not with the inaccurate and harmful stereotypes", and he got back to me pretty quickly to say that they would take it out of the course materials in future and try to find other resources expressing the useful ideas in a more appropriate way, so credit is due for a good response. But still, my morning would have been a lot more pleasant without having had to read that...
