'Two Perspectives on Disability': In Conversation with Richard Three at Shakespeare in the Ruff -
www.intermissionmagazine.ca: Growing up as a physically disabled child in the mainstream education system, I was used to being the only disabled person in the room. I didn’t know other disabled children or adults. My whole concept of disability was about me and my own body.
The notion of being part of a disability “community” was entirely foreign to me. So when I began forging friendships with other disabled people in my early twenties, it felt like my whole worldview was turned on its head.
