Now I know that what we were all beginning to learn was what today might be called disability culture. Although “disability culture” is really just a term for a culture that has learned to value the humanity in all people, without dismissing anyone for looking, thinking, believing, or acting differently. Like Buddhism. Or kid culture. Because we were kids doing what kids naturally do until they are taught otherwise: Slow down enough to listen and truly see each other. Ask questions. Connect. Find a way to have fun. Learn.
