Why I’m still disabled, even though I’m brilliant (or so people tell me)
In case you missed it, I have a recent post up over at We Are Like Your Child:
There’s a dynamic that occurs a lot in conversation, mostly with family, when I have to try to explain why I can’t just go do some given thing…because I have a communication disability.
In these conversations, people say, really often, something along the lines of “But you’re brilliant—you could do anything you wanted to!”
Here’s the thing: being brilliant and being disabled are not mutually exclusive.

I’m still here!
Just been a little swamped with work….
Lovely shot of our hammered dulcimer player in wandelprobe rehearsal for Tamar of the River, a new musical, which closed this past weekend.
