Thanks to Learning Disability Today for hosting my blog on our visit to an autism-friendly showing of Aladdin in the summer.  'Imagine a performance where the sound of a wrapper being crunched is drowned out by lots of other noise.'

Are we in the learning disability movement any good at protesting? Steve talks to activist Paul Richards who has set up Gig Buddies and Stay up Late so that people with learning disabilities can have awesome nights out. He also introduces Jennifer, who has a learning disability and has strong views on activism. And he looks at the R Word campaign in the USA, which challenges use of the word Retard.
