Does this sound like a ghettoizing act or what? First it assumes that all other communities where people with disabilities didn't count. And what about notions of inclusion? I don't know about the US, but inclusion is the big thing up there. You don't stick people who are not staticially average in a different location, as that's not what community is all about, we hang together as much as possible, and if a group wants to take up a special location for reasons of privacy, focus, or whatever reason is important to them, then it is part of a larger whole. But I'm not into isolationism. I'm not really commenting on Disaboom itself, but on anything that seeks to define itself as 'the first for us' in any context.
