I/DD in the Southeast: A New Writing Project

k-pagination:

There seems to be a lack of things written about intellectual/developmental disabilities (frankly, all sorts of disabilities, but I need to start somewhere less broad than all disabilities) in the Southeast. I would like assist in filling the gap. One person cannot fix the entire gap, but I can fill a bit of it. 

I do not know how long (page-length) this project will be, nor how long it will take. It may take years (I am already writing so many things, oops). 

If you are developmentally disabled or have an intellectual disability and live in the Southeast, have lived in the Southeast for any extended period of time (I’d say at least more than a year), or were raised in the Southeast, I’d love to hear any comments, insights, and/or experiences you have had in the South. Not all your comments will make it into this project. I suspect that there will be far too many for me to include all of them.

While I am autistic, I would rather not write an entire essay-thing on being disabled in the Southeast based solely on my experiences; autism is but one disability and I have only lived in the state of Georgia (not even outside of the metropolitan Atlanta area, actually). 

At some point, I want to publish this (professionally). I don’t have to have your name, just the disability and your experiences. If you do reveal your name, it will be out there, so consider carefully. Also consider the implications of you are giving me something already written elsewhere that can be linked to you. 

You can email me at silverbrook.aka.silva@gmail.com. If you need another means of communication, please send me an ask. I’m awful on phones, but I can do my best, for instance.
