		<description>Your weekend camp sounds wonderful, what a great way to really connect with other homeschool families!

Thank you for linking to my blog, the continued acceptance of discrimination and ridicule of people with "brain differences" (as M describes it) is something the weighs heavily on my heart. Unfortunately, as you point out, historically they have had virtually no voice. Thankfully it looks like that may be starting to change due to the work of some powerful self-advocates. There is still a very long way to go though, isn't there? :(</description>
