Go Cody!! 12:10:26 From Kelly Donovan : What song is this? 12:10:28 From Bonnie Silvestri To All Panelists : So glad we are discussing this video. The idea that someone with a disability has to be the most talented to be a hero is a bit disconcerting. 12:10:29 From Jen Rohrig To All Panelists : (I could say more but it would not be not family friendly) 12:10:35 From Kelly Donovan : The judges faces 12:10:41 From Jen Rohrig : That “AW” when she said he was blind/autistic was so bad... like seriously!? 12:10:44 From Cara Forcino : "This song is for you" 12:10:52 From Jen Rohrig : I could say more but it would not be family friendly. 12:10:58 From Kirsten Deetz To All Panelists : Jen, Right?! 12:10:59 From Lezli Tuttle : This still makes me tear up. 12:11:07 From Kelly Donovan : AW? His mom? What does AW stand for? 12:11:13 From Cara Forcino : "AW"? 12:11:15 From Shelly Okure : That's whats up!! Go, Kodi!!! 12:11:22 From Pat Richley : talented keyboard artist with an AWESOME voice! <3 12:11:25 From Regan Lamphier To All Panelists : How Old Are You?....🙄. We never ask able adults this question when we meet them. 12:11:25 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Cara Forcino Hi! 12:11:26 From Jen Rohrig : I mean the sound the panelist made — it was obnoxious 12:11:30 From Kelly Donovan : OH I SEE "awwww" like honey don't pity us 12:11:34 From Kirsten Deetz To All Panelists : Right 12:11:36 From Kelly Donovan : (actuallyautistic here) 12:11:45 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : I could watch this 1,000 times. 12:11:47 From Sandra Pratt : God's creation is perfect and amazing! 12:11:52 From Bonnie Silvestri To All Panelists : Agreed! Kodi is wonderful the panelists are frustrating. 12:11:54 From Pat Richley : that's quite a vocal range. :) 12:12:00 From Janine Westlund : Yes @Sandra Pratt 12:12:09 From Andrew Dellantonio To All Panelists : Yes. Fabulous musician but ugh to the panelists building “inspiration” (also this closing sequence...) 12:12:09 From Deidre Hammon To All Panelists : stop chatting we can’t see the screen 12:12:50 From Shan Fowler To All Panelists : The "I" word. 12:12:52 From Andrew Dellantonio To All Panelists : InSPiRaTIon!! 12:13:02 From Sandra Pratt : Amen Janine :-) 12:13:03 From June Lum Young Gonzales To All Panelists : awersome 12:13:19 From Whitney Noel To All Panelists : that is a proud Mother- incredible. 12:13:21 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : Hello, my name Brendan Klein i work at WIHD doing social groups and self advocates across state and county into schools districts for people with all types disabilities. My eamil bklein@wihd.org, Thank you so much for having me. 12:14:22 From Deborah Mells : I love Kodi! He is tremendously blessed. 12:14:42 From Kristen Leary To All Panelists : makes me cry everytime 12:14:49 From susan kluge To All Panelists : Goose bumps every time I watched this video! 12:15:15 From Theo Braddy To All Panelists : It is unfortunate he is presented in this way because he is very talented. These kind of episodes are done and set progress way back because it reaches and place pity and inspiration in the minds of millions. 12:15:17 From Cara Forcino : check him out on You Tube 12:15:24 From Sandra Pratt : How can you NOT cry 12:15:30 From Miso Kwak : To be honest I feel ambivalent about this clip because on one hand, it is good to portray a positive picture and strengths of a blind autistic person... one the other hand, I am concerned that it just perpetuates inspiration porn 12:15:31 From Kelly Donovan : What season was this on??! 12:15:36 From Mitzie A. Johnson To All Panelists : What a wonderful way to start this celebration; I am in tears Cody is an inspiration; I too have been blessed with a family member who share similar disabilities; Music is the equalizer to his inclusion 12:15:42 From Dorothy Clark To All Panelists : I was that video before however every time I see it I am touched by it 12:15:44 From Lisa Huckleberry To All Panelists : Definitely in tears! He is so amazing! 12:15:47 From Lezli Tuttle : Kelly it was last season. 12:15:48 From Andrew Dellantonio To All Panelists : Yes @Miso 12:15:49 From cheryl Bates-harris : Miso I agree with you. 12:15:53 From Kelly Donovan : I do agree Miso! 12:15:54 From Lisa Beaudoin To All Panelists : TY Kelly D & Jen R! 12:15:56 From Kirsten Deetz To All Panelists : Totally agree about inspiration porn. 12:15:56 From Shan Fowler : Seconding @Miso 12:15:57 From Lucy Richardson : I found that very difficult to watch. They centered the mother and other abled people and infantilized Kodi 12:16:00 From Jen Rohrig To All Panelists : Exactly Miso. It’s totally Inspiration porn 12:16:03 From Ivy K To All Panelists : yes miso 12:16:04 From VA Barbarin To All Panelists : Welcome and hello! 12:16:10 From Jen Rohrig To All Panelists : That too Lucy! 12:16:17 From Christine Villegas To All Panelists : So moving beautiful 12:16:24 From Catherine Dondero To All Panelists : @miso I agree 12:16:27 From Janine Westlund : And he won!!! 12:16:32 From Andrew Dellantonio : Echoing Miso. Thank you. 12:16:35 From Stephanie Haskell To All Panelists : Thank you so much for sharing that video. I am in tears at my home video that was amazing. I hope to share this video with students this fall at my institution at NECC in MA. 12:16:38 From Kelly Donovan : To be fair, sometimes ppl treat us disabled people like puppies like.....I mean even if they're not dissing us, it's still.....uncomfy 12:16:40 From Alice Wershing To All Panelists : agreed 12:16:45 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : Hello Emily, Imani and Andrew 12:16:55 From VA Barbarin : don't forget a Beautiful smile 12:16:57 From Victoria Slocum To All Panelists : I’m concerned about inspiration porn, too. 12:16:59 From Ivy K To All Panelists : that’s awesome he won 12:17:18 From Pascal Cheng To All Panelists : It would have been interesting to have him introduced without reference to his disability and just as someone who loved to sing. How would people reacted then? 12:17:18 From Lisa Beaudoin To All Panelists : Agree Lucy, TY 12:17:22 From Kelly Donovan : Emily you look like my friend Evie! 12:17:27 From Kirsten Deetz To All Panelists : Kelly, hope we can change that 12:17:45 From Michelle Bonati : Yes, I agree with you Lucy. There was no reason to infantalize him. He is incredibly talented, but the Awww from the audience and the panels reactions was awful. 12:17:47 From Bonnie Silvestri To All Panelists : Inspiration porn - what a great phrase - it is hard to figure out how it made me so uncomfortable. 12:18:00 From Daniel Bayley To All Panelists : Dan bayley disability cp palm bay florida 12:18:06 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : I have a public Facebook and Instagram Page Kenneth Kelty, Public Speaker and Author, 12:18:25 From Roberta Shaw To All Panelists : I don't agree that it was all about his mother. 12:18:25 From Pat Richley : His talent far outshines the conversation with his mother. 12:18:27 From Kelly Donovan : Like.....don't just talk to our parents! Talk to US! 12:18:28 From Jason Harris : I think infantilization happens to many people but especially people with cognitive disabilities. This can be mainly from the general community but I can also see sometimes from the disabled community not always overtly but many times people with cognitive disabilities are left out of these conversations as well and have people talk for them 12:18:38 From Jason Harris : Also an autistic person 12:18:45 From Seher Arslan To All Panelists : I highly agree with the panellists 12:18:49 From Dina Abramson : I don't think Simon Cowell has ever stood up for anyone. So did he stand up because Cody was the greatest singer he has ever heard - or because it was inspiration porn? 12:18:52 From Dana Smith To All Panelists : I agree Jason. 12:18:55 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : That's what I've noticed about AGT in the last few seasons with other disabled artists - that it feels like inspo porn. 12:19:09 From Erin Taylor : yes Jason & Imani! 12:19:13 From Lorielle Moorhaus : Kodi should have been holding the microphone. 12:19:16 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : it should about the person and talent not just the disability 12:19:19 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : yes, yes, yes 12:19:20 From Debbe Hagner : I wish they had Nyle who is deaf... on AGT 12:19:21 From Stephanie Haskell To All Panelists : I agree Imani, thanks for pointing this out to us. 12:19:26 From Stephanie Santo To All Panelists : It took me so long for me to take people who were praising me (even appropriately) because I wasn't sure if people were seriously happy with something I had done or because they just felt obligated to do so because I had a disability 12:19:27 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : There has to be *one* artist with a "feel good" story that it feels fake. 12:19:28 From Kelly Donovan : Agreed Jason. I don't deal with that as much as I my disability's more "hidden" 12:19:31 From Pat Richley : I appreciate what you are saying Imani. 12:19:33 From Channing Heiss : Imani, you hit the nail right on the head. 12:19:38 From Daniel Bayley To All Panelists : never heard that 12:19:46 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : great words 12:19:53 From cheryl Bates-harris : all people have talent. 12:20:00 From Stephanie Santo To All Panelists : *It took me so long for me to take people who were praising me seriously 12:20:02 From Pat Richley : His disability had nothing to do with my recognition of his keyboard talent and awesome voice. 12:20:10 From Seher Arslan To All Panelists : I am Efe. I am 21 years old with Cp , optimistic and an activist myself. 12:20:16 From fritz finch To All Panelists : inspired because he is talented and on tv 12:20:25 From Lucy Richardson : Talented AND disabled! So well said Emily 12:20:33 From Christine Villegas To All Panelists : Because of his talent 12:20:34 From Pat Richley : I agree Lucy. 12:20:36 From Janine Westlund : This is pure evidence that people (in general) do not know what to do. We continue to have work to do so it isn't so 'shocking' or 'different' and we can focus on his talent. 12:20:39 From Jen Rohrig To All Panelists : EMILY IS CORRECT! 12:20:40 From Devin Karambelas To All Panelists : Thanks for making this point, Emily. 12:20:41 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : great job Emily and well said Emily. 12:20:42 From Monica Albert Still : inspired by a super talented musician not disability. 12:20:42 From Sandra Pratt : Grace! people and their reactions are not perfect 12:20:48 From Kelly Donovan : It's not like a person who uses a wheelchair walking or doing a cartwheel! 12:20:52 From Stephanie Haskell To All Panelists : I think he is talented. I wish I could play and sing so beautifully. I would pass him to Hollywood due to his talent. 12:20:53 From Bonnie Silvestri : No one treats Andrea Boccelli the way they treated Kodi. 12:21:21 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : I completely agree Emily. 12:21:30 From Darren Bates : What I saw in that video beyond great talent — was the audience and panelists’ assumption that Kodi wouldn’t’t/couldn’t be able to sing as great as he did. 12:21:31 From Stephanie Haskell To All Panelists : Thank you Emily. 12:21:35 From Roberta Shaw To All Panelists : But isn't it true that his disability most likely made it even harder for him to reach AGT than a non-disabled person? 12:21:41 From Dana Smith To All Panelists : Good point, Bonnie. 12:21:43 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : Hello, my name Brendan Klein i work at WIHD doing social groups and self advocates across state and county into schools districts for people with all types disabilities. thank you so much for having me 12:21:49 From Jason Harris : I agree many disabled people are talented not despite there disability but also sometimes because of it. Because they think differently have to move differently have to find different solutions 12:22:07 From Jason Harris : have to overcome barriers by society and non disabled people 12:22:27 From Shelly Okure : No doubt....praising and applauding his TALENT!!! Loved how he broke through the stereotype and made them all focus on the talent! 12:22:32 From Dorothy Clark : I think he is a talented person. We should be looking his talent more. also I feel that they should have talk to him more than his moom 12:22:37 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Yes, they do - and that's why I haven't watched in the last few years...it's a turn off for me because of the inspo porn. 12:22:46 From E R (she/her) To All Panelists : I don’t even like to use the term “disabled”... I have a physical disability, but I still like to use the term “differently abled” instead of disabled. 12:22:46 From Jonathan Righton : Many people with diverse abilities have great talents and can overcome their challenges and are capable. 12:22:48 From Mitzie A. Johnson To All Panelists : I am inspired by his talent, I don’t agree this argument 12:23:09 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : well said Dorothy! 12:23:11 From Kirsten Deetz : Bonnie, no one really talks about Andrea Boccelli’s disability and I think that is intention. Andrea knows it will become a distraction . 12:23:13 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : thank you for that honesty 12:23:19 From Ivy K To All Panelists : it is sick 12:23:37 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : it’s about the person more then their parents or disab 12:23:39 From Seher Arslan To All Panelists : With Andrew on this he definitely has an opinion that is close to mine 12:23:45 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : meant disability 12:23:45 From Kelly Donovan : I see where you are coming from Andrew! Gushy responses are so awkward. "OHHH SO YOUR ALSO DISABLED FRIENDS ARE DATING?! THAT'S SO CUTE!" Me-"Uhhhhhhhh…." 12:23:46 From Sophie Kellam To All Panelists : This seems to be a great example of intersectionality. For the chat, when it acceptable to recognize the challenges that people face? Especially when you are talking to someone who is a leader in the movement. 12:23:48 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : yes Kirsten! I agree 12:23:49 From Stephanie Bellantoni To All Panelists : I hate the gushiness and the spotlighting the disability . . .but i'm torn on whether building the awareness is important enough that we just take the overload of emotion with it 12:23:51 From Sandra Pratt : YAHHH for talent! Yahh for kind grace compassion 12:23:54 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Jonathan Righton - there is no "overcoming"... 12:24:06 From Seher Arslan To All Panelists : I appreciate all your efforts to get this topic discussed. It is so very important. I have a son with cp who constantly discusses this. 12:24:11 From Ahmad Jabbir To All Panelists : I feel someone else should have been there up on stage instead of Kodi' mom, it became to much of a distraction and what caused him to be more infantilized 12:24:19 From Kayla Stone : I tear up and get goose bumps whenever I hear a song sung with emotion and amazing pitch. No matter a person's story, if they have an amazing voice, I will tear up 100% of the time. The fact that he has a disability didn't dictate my response. With that said, the way that AGT and other "talent" shows depict the stories of the contestants is kind of disturbing. 12:24:33 From Sandra Pratt : yes for respect :-) 12:24:40 From Marie Desrosiers To All Panelists : Agreed Kay, loved his voice and tore me up 12:24:51 From Nicole Forgione To All Panelists : Are you able to address this question please? I work for a non-profit agency that has services for people with developmental disabilities, people with no DD, including seniors (who we are not being told by management to call them “older adults”) and healthcare and affordable/low-income apartments for the general public. I have to write stories about the various programs we offer about our various audiences. It appears to be necessary to indicate when I’m writing about a program/person with a DD vs. a person without a DD. How can that be written/said better? Thanks! 12:24:51 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : great point 12:24:53 From Jason Harris : Great points by Imani 12:24:55 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Kayla Stone - I 1000% agree! 12:24:56 From Amy Kenny : YES, IMANI! 12:24:58 From Sharon Janosik To All Panelists : Yes, Imani!!! 12:24:59 From Dana Smith To All Panelists : Good question, Imani. 12:25:20 From Pat Richley : Being confined to a wheelchair these past 3 years have made me realize how people think disabled people are inferior intellectually. There is a big difference between people who've known me for years versus those who are recent acquaintances. The newbies exclude me from a group discussion, and my long-timed colleagues do not. 12:25:22 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : well said Imani. inclusion and acceptance should become the norm, 12:25:35 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : yes Emily! 12:25:38 From Jason Harris : Cody overcame ableism 12:25:44 From Sandra Pratt : fact! talent and disability. God's creation is perfect! 12:25:45 From Seher Arslan To All Panelists : I follow Dan Habib and his work ever since “Including Samuel “ came out. I appreciate every effort. Seher Arslan 12:25:54 From Jen Rohrig To All Panelists : that that that that 100% THAT and only that 12:25:54 From Kate Filanoski To Nicole Forgione and All Panelists : I would submit this question in the Q&A section so it doesn't get lost in the chat 12:25:55 From Jason Harris : or parts of ableism 12:25:56 From Lisa Beaudoin To All Panelists : THANK YOU Emily Ladau? Boom! 12:26:00 From Ivy K To All Panelists : yes jason! 12:26:08 From Jonathan Righton : Amen "Sandra" 12:26:11 From Sara Rahn To All Panelists : oh.... please reconsider the verbiage "confined to a wheelchair" …. 12:26:12 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Completely agree Emily! 12:26:13 From Lisa Beaudoin To All Panelists : ! not “?” 12:26:15 From Jason Harris : Great points Emily 12:26:19 From Stephanie Santo To All Panelists : I am on the spectrum. I was in a state beauty pageant. Shortly after I went down the runway, a young woman with CP was on. She was undoubtedly gorgeous and had great poise and confidence, so she deserved applause like we all did. However, she crowd went absolutely wild in a gushy way that seemed not genuine at all. Meanwhile, she could not get into the dressing room the same way that the rest of us could because most theater dressing rooms are still downstairs and there are no elevators or anything like that..... 12:26:22 From Kirsten Deetz : I have been trying to use an alternate term other than “disabled” since I see so much ability in people who are seen as broken. “Different-abled”? 12:26:37 From Stephanie Santo To All Panelists : *the crowd 12:26:40 From Jason Harris : Also he may of been benefited by his disability in some way in his ability to process music 12:26:48 From VA Barbarin : Great points Emily!! 12:26:51 From leslie feinberg To All Panelists : I agree with you, Emily! it's society that needs to overcome the perception of disability 12:26:55 From Sandra Pratt : We all have talents! We're all so specially made by God's hands 12:27:03 From Pat Richley : I find terms like "different-abled" upsetting. 12:27:07 From Jason Harris : disabilities 12:27:15 From Monica Albert Still : @Kristen There is nothing wrong with the word disabled. Say the word disabled. 12:27:18 From Dana Smith To All Panelists : Would you please define or clarify your definition or perception of "ableism?" 12:27:19 From Stephanie Birmingham To All Panelists : "Differently-abled" is an uphelpful term. It erases the culture, history and social context of the disability community. 12:27:21 From Jason Harris : Being Autistic makes me happy 12:27:30 From Bonnie Silvestri : Kirsten - I think that is a much better approach. 12:27:31 From Sandra Pratt : We are unique. We all have skills and talents to offer to those around us 12:27:32 From Kirsten Deetz : Please give me a better term :) 12:27:38 From Kari T : Encourage folks to check out stopmakingitweird.com Stop Making It Weird is a campaign to combat our own "weirdness" in attitudes, actions, or beliefs toward people with disabilities. 12:27:40 From Miso Kwak : I am curious to hear from the panelists... we can't really control how other people react to disabled performers and how we are portrayed... to what extent should we try to control this and at what point should we just let things be? 12:28:09 From Monica Albert Still : Disabled is the better term. I am disabled euphemisms only reinforce ableism. 12:28:13 From Regan Larsen : Euphemisms for disability further stigmatize it. Just say disabled 12:28:22 From Stephanie Birmingham To All Panelists : YES Regan!!! 12:28:23 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @ Kirsten D - However you want to say disabled is up to you. I am disabled. Period. 12:28:25 From Kelly Donovan : THANK YOU MONICA AND REGAN! 12:28:32 From Miso Kwak : Agree with @Monica 12:28:32 From Seher Arslan To All Panelists : What is ableism? 12:28:37 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : i think we need to include people like Terry Crews to help educate them 12:28:38 From Kaarin Clausen : Journalism resources re: disability terms: https://ncdj.org/style-guide/ https://ncdj.org/resources/ 12:28:40 From Sandra Pratt : We all have talents! We're all so specially made by God's hands 12:28:44 From Elizabeth Perfitt To All Panelists : Is there any information as to how Kodi himself felt? 12:28:57 From Hari Srinivasan : Can we get Handles of panelists again 12:28:58 From Jacek Haciak To All Panelists : Great question, Miso! I appreciate any recognition of my strengths, and try to build on whatever might come my way, no matter the framework the person currently holds. 12:29:19 From Kate Filanoski : Hi Everyone, I would direct questions for the panelists to the Q&A space in your controls so it doesn't get lost in the chat. You can even upvote a question you'd like to see the answer to. Thanks! 12:29:25 From Monica Albert Still : Listen to disabled people. Not journalists. We are saying disabled. 12:29:30 From Kaarin Clausen : @Imani_Barbarin FB: CrutchesandSpicebyImaniBarbarin @Emily_ladau FB: WordsIWheelBy @AndrewPulrang FB: Apulrang @_danhabib FB: intelligentlives 12:29:39 From Joni Deutsch To All Panelists : Also on Great British Bake-Off! 12:29:41 From Miso Kwak : Christine Ha was on Master Chef 12:29:46 From Dina Abramson : She won the show 12:29:52 From Lorielle Moorhaus : @Hari We encourage you to tweet/share the content of this webinar. Use hashtags: #ADA30 #disabilitymedia Tags: @DRCNH @UNHIOD @Imani_Barbarin FB: CrutchesandSpicebyImaniBarbarin @Emily_ladau FB: WordsIWheelBy @AndrewPulrang FB: Apulrang @_danhabib FB: intelligentlives 12:29:56 From Pat Richley : We are EACH unique. Kirsten. I agree with @Monica 12:29:59 From Mark Johnson To All Panelists : Master Chef 12:30:00 From Ivy K To All Panelists : we can’t control perceptions, but we can steer it towards a direction. 12:30:04 From Miso Kwak : I agree Andrew on your points about how Christine was portrayed 12:30:09 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Oh, really? I didn't watch that season, but I've heard of her name. 12:30:15 From VA Barbarin : This is a good way to educate and discuss perceptions and how it is beneficial or hurtful. 12:30:16 From Jason Harris : I would think it also goes with the ideas how we talk about Autistic people and people cognitive disabilities as well 12:30:22 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : we are more then our disabilities 12:30:48 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Those examples make me upset. 12:30:55 From Pascal Cheng To All Panelists : Special proms reinforce segregation. 12:31:17 From Shan Fowler : Did he consent to being video recorded? 12:31:27 From Jason Harris : Great question Shan 12:31:33 From Pat Richley : I don't see these as a problem. I believe it is the BEGINNING of acceptance of equality... we have to start somewhere. 12:31:37 From VA Barbarin : Welllllll!!!! Preach Imani!!!!! 12:31:38 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Yes, we (society) "allowed" this....barf... 12:31:39 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : Good points are being made here on all fronts. I think every talented person with a disability - think Stevie Wonder, Marlee Matlin, etc. is always confronting patronizing attitudes and prejudice throughout their lives. BUT each person forges their own path and helps to change the misconceptions. At least I hope we do. 12:31:40 From Dina Abramson : Oh, I hate the feeding videos!! it is so embarrassing and degrading! And it shows that people don't have the assistance / support in the community and at home so they have to ask a fast food worker for help. 12:31:42 From Kayla Stone : Yes! Imani! It's always the "abled savior". 12:31:54 From Erin Taylor : we deny people their humanity when we gush over their actions that all people have the ability to express 12:31:57 From Iris Jacobson To All Panelists : This is a great conversation and I am so happy it is being addressed. Will the conversation script be available? 12:32:00 From Bonnie Silvestri : Peanut Butter Falcon definitely plays on that savior concept! I love/hated that movie. 12:32:07 From Kirsten Deetz : Thank you for clarifying your Preference Monica. I assumed there was a negative connotation to a term that includes the prefix dis-, as “not able”. I think its important for us to ask how these terms serve to describe a community accurately and inclusively 12:32:08 From Miso Kwak : @Pat I believe the panelists and some people on this webinar are trying to move beyond this point ... 12:32:14 From Seher Arslan : I appreciate you all for this panel. Seher Arslan a mom to son with cp. 12:32:15 From Pat Richley : Maybe it is a difference between GUSH and OBSERVE 12:32:20 From Jason Harris : Or why interabled couples don’t really ver people with downs syndrome or other people with cognitive disabled people 12:32:22 From Dina Abramson : and in most cases the people are recording these videos and displaying them on social media without permission!! 12:32:33 From fritz finch : the headline shouldn't have "disability" to catch attention to read...maybe just making the content of the article inspire 12:32:38 From Jason Harris : Also tends to be the same race or heterosexual 12:32:46 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Definitely not! 12:32:50 From Jen Rohrig To All Panelists : What Imani is saying — the problem with inspiration porn is that it ignores what is actually needed — more supports and access for us. Not just AW LOOK WHAT AMAZING THING HAPPENED!!! 12:32:51 From Jason Harris : problematic norms 12:33:02 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : great words Emily 12:33:03 From Monica Albert Still : Thank you @Kristen 12:33:04 From Stephanie Bellantoni To All Panelists : spot on 12:33:11 From Kelly Donovan : AGREED JASON 12:33:13 From Neve Siegfreid To All Panelists : YES! YES! YES! 12:33:13 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : making acceptance the norm 12:33:17 From Kayla Stone : Agreed, Emily 12:33:22 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : These examples are not disability representation... 12:33:22 From Pat Richley : @Miso, thank-you for excluding me intellectually. 12:33:22 From Monica Albert Still : Thank you ! Emily! 12:33:24 From Kelly Donovan : TONIGHT AT SIX-PERSON GETS TREATED WITH BASIC KINDNESS 12:33:31 From Damon McLeese To All Panelists : People with disabilities make up more than 20% of the US population yet are rarely seen in press - this conversation is so good. Preach Imani and Emily - these are not news it is just people being people 12:33:34 From Grace Reida : Jason - absolutely! 12:33:39 From Stephanie Bellantoni To All Panelists : that's why I'm torn on shows like Born this Way . . .as the parent of a person with DS, my reaction is . . ."ok, . . .and?" . . . 12:33:44 From Dina Abramson : I HATE the term wheelchair bound or confined to a wheelchair. UGH!!! 12:33:46 From Jason Harris : I don’t have special needs my needs are human 12:33:54 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Kelly - and 10 pm news and 6 am the next day... 12:33:58 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : acceptance and inclusion is more important then it being a big deal that a couple with disabilities is the homecoming)g queen or king 12:33:58 From Amy Kenny : Co-sign, Jason! 12:34:02 From Pat Richley : Amen, @Jason. 12:34:04 From Channing Heiss To All Panelists : This reaction and the general dramatic narrative non disabled people create cheapens any victory and tends to take us out of the meritocracy. Very narcissistic AB approach. Virtue signalling on steroids 12:34:04 From Danielle Fleming To All Panelists : or emotionally disturbed... also a fun one. 12:34:04 From Cat Jones To All Panelists : Jason yes! 12:34:14 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : Yes, Jason!! 12:34:16 From Monica Albert Still : Right Jason! 12:34:51 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : I use both person with a disability or disabled. 12:35:01 From Kelly Donovan : They're trying not to hurt our feelings but they're making it worse! 12:35:04 From Damon McLeese To All Panelists : Kelley - love that!!! 12:35:05 From Monica Albert Still : Euphemisms only serve to make non disabled people comfortable 12:35:18 From Kelly Donovan : AND YES MONICA! 12:35:33 From Patti Murphy : When the news media sensationalizes situations where a famous person or anyone acquires disabilities later in life through an accident or illness, it can be painful for to people who have lived quite ordinary lives with disabilities since birth. 12:35:34 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : YES Monica and Kelly! 12:35:44 From Jason Harris : I also get confused by able-bodied because technically my bodied is considered able enough but my mind is what is consider outside the norm 12:35:55 From Jason Harris : I get the point of it in some sense 12:36:04 From Regan Larsen : That’s such a good point Jason! 12:36:16 From Damon McLeese To All Panelists : The word disabilitie starts with the prefix of dis which connotes less than which is so frustrating - very few words that start with dis are positive - except disruption. 12:36:17 From Yessica Guardiola : There is a Spanish speaking movie: "Campeones" (Champions) for which one of the actors won a Best Actor Award. That is part of sistemic change. Crip Camp is a great documentary that everyone must whatch. 12:36:23 From Caitlin Solone To All Panelists : Can someone re-paste the link for the slides into the chat? I had to log back on and now don’t have access to the link. Thanks so much 12:36:31 From Jason Harris : Love crip camp great point Yessica 12:36:38 From Justin Bonny : I call myself crippled because it makes is sound like a funny story so people don't feel sorry for me. 12:36:40 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Yessica - is it subtitled? 12:36:46 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : Yes, Crip Camp is great. It's on Netflix. 12:36:48 From Bev Weinberg To All Panelists : I absolutely love the social model of disability. 12:36:54 From Kelly Donovan : CRIP CAMP IS AMAZING 12:36:57 From Kate Filanoski : You can download the PowerPoint featured in today’s webinar (contains alt text for images): https://tinyurl.com/DisabilityAndMedia 12:37:11 From Caitlin Solone To All Panelists : Thank you so much @Kate! 12:37:17 From Debbe Hagner : Deaf vs deaf mute or hard of hearing or hearing impaired is a big issue in the hearing loss world 12:37:25 From Lisa Franklin : Question: For those of us who work in the disability community and have social media responsibilities, what is the one thing you would recommend as we are posting/tweeting etc? 12:37:39 From Patti Murphy : Words mean a lot, but how you treat people means more. 12:37:41 From Erin Taylor : who wants to be introduced by their diagnosis? this is Erin who has weak ankles and a thyroid disorder and she’s here to discuss state policy. Relevance? 12:37:45 From Jason Harris : Great points Emily 12:37:45 From Kaarin Clausen To Dan Habib(privately) : Question: For those of us who work in the disability community and have social media responsibilities, what is the one thing you would recommend as we are posting/tweeting etc? 12:37:49 From K G : I feel like sometimes the only way to bring attention to “this is an important difference” is to make people “uncomfortable” because otherwise they can gloss over/ignore the difference 12:37:56 From Kelly Donovan : Like ppl speaking over us! 12:37:59 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : Yes, Emily! 12:38:05 From Cat Jones To All Panelists : I love that this chat thread is just as rich and informative as the live panel discussion. I am just soaking it all in. Thank you all! 12:38:11 From Kirsten Deetz : Jason, I think the problem with that attitude is characterizing what we don’t understand about neurodiversity as a disability. I think it communicates a clear inability of the “abled” to see what is different as valued 12:38:18 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : We are not infants! 12:38:23 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : I have disability I/DD. I think people with all types disabilities are the greatest and powerful 12:38:27 From Deidre Hammon To All Panelists : 123 laws using the word “disability” taking that away strips us of a long history of debate and legislation that centers people with disabilities in the social, educational, vocational centers of our nation. 12:38:29 From Erin Taylor : yes KG! 12:38:37 From Pat Richley : Great, Emily. 12:38:43 From Seher Arslan : This panel is speaking for me and I feel included!,, 12:38:43 From Maria Wiscombe To All Panelists : I love this Emily. 12:38:51 From Kaarin Clausen : Journalism resources: https://ncdj.org/style-guide/ https://ncdj.org/resources/ 12:38:58 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : OH NO.... 12:39:04 From Karen Allyn To All Panelists : I saw that movie. 12:39:10 From K G : Like “haha handicapable” makes it much easier to ignore things like “hey, the button is broken and the door is way too heavy for me to open by myself” 12:39:14 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : I have seen it and there is a book 12:39:17 From Monica Albert Still : Bleh! Death before disabled trope! 12:39:25 From Laura Mueth : I agree with Emily's last comment. 12:39:30 From Jason Harris : Yeah good points Kirsten I think neurodivergence is a cultural thing I love Autistic culture. But I can also be proud and recognize that there are barriers societally and also have impairments that I need supports around that don’t make me less 12:39:31 From Dina Abramson : Agreed Monica 12:39:32 From E R (she/her) To All Panelists : that movie is a death sentence for people 12:39:40 From E R (she/her) To All Panelists : 👎🏾 12:39:41 From Jason Harris : I hate this movie 12:39:56 From Monica Albert Still : I refused to watch it 12:40:00 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : lol 12:40:04 From Bonnie Silvestri : Oy! 12:40:08 From Max S. : God don't play this please 12:40:08 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : NO THANK YOU 12:40:09 From Lucy Richardson : 'Fun fact' - this movie is based on a book, and the author of that book admitted that she didn't even bother to speak to any disabled people when writing it 12:40:09 From Beth Haller : Article from the UK this week about identity first language: https://metro.co.uk/2020/07/14/disability-language-debate-12987662/?ito=cbshare 12:40:17 From Jason Harris : Sometimes Autistic people try to justify themselves with being super smart and I am not going to lie I am not a genius 12:40:17 From Regan Larsen : Emilia Clarke’s other movie “Last Christmas” was also incredibly disrespectful and a bit traumatizing as a heart transplant recipient 12:40:20 From Kirsten Deetz : I have two wonderful nephews on the spectrum and they are beyond wonderful and deserve to be seen and included 12:40:34 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : I seen this movie and it is great 12:40:38 From Dina Abramson : blah!! 12:40:50 From Yessica Guardiola : Respect to diversity. 12:40:51 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : I also refused to watch it! 12:40:54 From Jason Harris : Completely agree Kirsten they do. 12:40:57 From Ivy K To All Panelists : people w/ disabilities tweet the things they hear in society #HeardWhilstDisabled 12:41:01 From Kelly Donovan : That woman never spoke to people who actually had disabilities? And was that guy not disabled? 12:41:09 From Jason Harris : One of the stereotypes that have to happen to disabled people in movies 12:41:12 From Kelly Donovan : WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.....JUST......WOW. 12:41:16 From Regan Larsen : The actor himself is not disabled 12:41:22 From Kelly Donovan : *headdesks* 12:41:27 From Jason Harris : Million Dollar Baby did it and that person it is based off of is still alive 12:41:30 From Emma Parcells To All Panelists : I watched it but is ridiculous with the whole rather die thing 12:41:39 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : NOPE NOPE NOPE 12:41:44 From Laura Louis-Jacques To All Panelists : I’ve seen that called “cripface” like black face, when actors without disabilities play characters with disabilities 12:41:49 From Sara Rahn To All Panelists : Very rarely do they ever have an actor with an actual disability play the part of one..... gross.... 12:41:50 From Kelly Donovan : As heartwarming as a cat fart 12:41:51 From Daniel Bayley To All Panelists : yea wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 12:41:57 From Laurie Zappulla To All Panelists : HELLO! 12:42:06 From Ivy K To All Panelists : lol kelly 12:42:17 From Kelly Donovan : "OH NO GOD FORBID I'M AUTISTIC POOR PITIFUL ME" yeah right!

I couldn't finish it and refused to see the movie. 12:42:28 From Jason Harris : Kelly you are awesome 12:42:31 From Emma Parcells To All Panelists : it’s insulting to make a movie/book like this 12:42:33 From Kelly Donovan : Thank you 12:42:41 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : agree, Emily. 12:42:46 From Daniel Bayley To All Panelists : YOU NEED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE 12:42:46 From Laurie Zappulla To All Panelists : WHICH MOVIE? 12:42:49 From Bev Weinberg : Emily….reframing is so important.

Or does he cure his disability? Oh lord 12:43:07 From Stephanie Bellantoni To All Panelists : sad thing is people think that if they enjoy these movies and feel for the characters, that they are somehow inclusive .. . .not 12:43:08 From Daniel Bayley To All Panelists : sorry cap off' 12:43:10 From Max S. : Nominee for worst movie in history of earth 12:43:12 From Dina Abramson : a 14 year old girl with Muscular Dystrophy was allowed to die because she didn't want to live - this was several years ago - people raised thousands of dollars so she could have a prom before she died 12:43:31 From Emma Parcells To All Panelists : kills him self kelly donavan 12:43:39 From Patti Murphy : The narrative I like is that people just want to live and enjoy live no matter their circumstances. 12:43:40 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : He's already chosen to die after his accident - BECAUSE of his accident. BARF 12:43:48 From cheryl Bates-harris : he dies 12:43:56 From Regan Larsen : Muscular dystrophy is a fatal disease if I am not mistaken 12:43:56 From Kelly Donovan : WE SHOULDN'T BE ENCOURAGING DEATH! Yikesss 12:44:21 From Breanna Fetters To All Panelists : I would love to find quality resources for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to tell their own stories. I would love to see well meaning organizations develop ethical story telling that actively resists he "able bodied savior myth" 12:44:27 From Jason Harris : I would not take away a pill to not be Autistic I love being Autistic 12:44:30 From Stephanie Bellantoni To All Panelists : when we reach a point that characters with disabilities are naturally weaved into the stories behind TV shows and movies. . . .that will be inclusive . . .and then those characters could be the main characters of the story and it wouldn't HAVE to be about the disability! 12:44:32 From Dina Abramson : and in the time of COVID this is especially heinous - a 46 year old man with quadriplegia in Texas was starved to death because he had COVID and it was decided his quality of life was not worth saving 12:44:33 From VA Barbarin : Awesome SAM!! 12:44:34 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : I agree Andrew 12:44:40 From Arianne Campbell To All Panelists : Yes Dan 12:44:41 From Jeff Symes : This attitude is behind decisions hospitals make about who with COVID gets the respirator 12:44:47 From Ivy K To All Panelists : aggg raising money for prom but state can’t pay attendantts a living wage 12:44:51 From Kelly Donovan : And at the age of six! I am proud of Sam Habib 12:44:51 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : people with disabilities should have a choice and not to only have one choice to be cured or die 12:45:04 From Mark Johnson To All Panelists : Another bad movie, Million Dollar Baby 12:45:07 From Kelly Donovan : And OMG DINA THAT IS AWFUL! THAT'S DISGUSTING! :'( 12:45:11 From Dina Abramson : We can die or stay home 12:45:15 From Laurie Zappulla To All Panelists : LIFE IS NOT VALUED 12:45:18 From Erin Taylor : @Jeff and who gets organ transplants. 12:45:21 From Max S. : What is even worse than movies like this is the news media defending or completely ignoring protests from disabled people whenever a movie like this comes out 12:45:23 From Karen Allyn To All Panelists : But the character in the movie was not born with a disability...he did know life another way and made a choice. Just sayin' -- not defending. 12:45:25 From Jason Harris : Angels of Death 12:45:25 From Dina Abramson : Yep Kelly 12:45:26 From Lorielle Moorhaus : This attitude is behind modern day eugenics. 12:45:28 From Channing Heiss To All Panelists : Cure 'em or kill 'em... that's a misguided choice...and not the only possible choice! 12:45:31 From Jason Harris : Terrible how people talk about that 12:45:32 From Monica Albert Still : Exactly Dina 12:45:57 From Kelly Donovan : TO THE FIREY INFERNOS WITH EUGENICS! 12:46:05 From Damon McLeese : These narratives are so dangerous. We have to fight this every step of the way. 12:46:14 From Max S. : *sorry - defending the movie and ignoring disabled people 12:46:17 From Cat Jones To All Panelists : Dina, Jeff - yes, isn't that terrifying! I do not identify as disabled but I am fat and have been keeping an eye on reports of fat people being denied ventilators because the less "healthy" someone is the less their life is valued 12:46:22 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Damon - completely agree! 12:46:27 From Cara Forcino : American Reframed on GBH World "Enter the Faun" 12:46:33 From Monica Albert Still : How people are judging our quality of life. No one can judge that but me. certainly not anyone who adheres to the medical model. 12:46:34 From Patti Murphy : Yet at the same time, disability is usually not something that we wish for each other - like winning the lottery, getting accepted for a great school or job, or falling in love. 12:46:41 From Kelly Donovan : Also, I feel individuals with more significant disabilities (ex-Down Syndrome) have it worse with poor portrayal and being the subject of jokes 12:46:42 From Jason Harris : I appreciate you Max for learning and changing 12:46:46 From Kerry Sundholm To All Panelists : I agree, but some disabled people do wish they didn’t have their disability. What would you say to them? 12:47:11 From Dina Abramson : so great when Ali Stoker won the Tony for playing a character w/o a disability - she is a wheelchair user 12:47:30 From Kate Filanoski To All Panelists : Jodi is interpreter next or are we sticking with Maura? 12:47:35 From Ivy K To All Panelists : #WhatWeNeed what PWDs are going with out during COVID. michael should have never died 12:47:46 From Jason Harris : Wasn’t this adapted from a Nordic film 12:48:10 From Bonnie Silvestri : Also all the people who are afraid to give their children vaccines because their child could develop autism even though that has been entirely discredited; but people would rather just risk their child's life than to run a completely non-factual risk. I have been so troubled by this because of the way it minimizes the lives of those with autism. 12:48:15 From Monica Albert Still : And the character wasn’t written as disabled - so it was that her wc use just was- as it should be 12:48:18 From Kaarin Clausen To All Panelists : Kate can decide about the interpreter 12:48:19 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : great film 12:48:21 From Kelly Donovan : Isn't that the girl from Precious?!? OMG 12:48:22 From Yessica Guardiola : I'm legally blind from birth and I do feel identify within my disability, but I understand and respect that people who got their disability in the adulthood not necessarily feel the same way. 12:48:34 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : love the movie 12:48:43 From Dina Abramson : Where can we see that movie? 12:48:57 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : ….I don't know how I feel about that film... 12:49:03 From Jason Harris : I think if it was from a Noric film that film is more progressive actually disabled actors 12:49:17 From Jason Harris : But mostly white 12:49:17 From Shan Fowler : So much terrible about this film. I'm conflicted about critiquing the story (even though it's full of hackneyed tropes), because it's based upon a true story and the real person seems to be involved in the film making. 12:49:24 From Sara Rahn To All Panelists : Disabled people are sexual beings?!?!?!?...… no! (Sarcasm!) 12:49:47 From Dorothy Clark : I think if the part calls for a person with a disability. it should be a person who has a disability playing the part 12:49:55 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : @Emily I agree! 12:50:00 From Pat Richley : Don't all actors "try on someone's identity?" 12:50:04 From Kelly Donovan : Also, the disabled people correct the guy with person first language....you'd think it was the other way around! 12:50:09 From Daniel Bayley To All Panelists : acting ? 12:50:11 From Brendan Klein To All Panelists : I agree with you Emily 12:50:27 From Kathryn Casello : I feel similar concerns with cisgender actors playing transgender characters 12:50:29 From Jason Harris : That is a trope too 12:50:40 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : LOL Imani YES trope! 12:50:48 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : great words Emily and Imani it should be an actually person with disabilities not an able bodied person 12:50:53 From Kelly Donovan : OF COURSE THE RACIST STEREOTYPE 12:50:59 From Jane Wuestewald To All Panelists : That is what acting is all about is to take on a different identity. 12:50:59 From Kari T : Yes - playing on the “pity f***” trope 12:51:17 From Jason Harris : Agreed Imani 12:51:21 From Yessica Guardiola : In the Spanish movie "Campeones" (Champions) all characters with disabilities were play by actors and actresses with disabilities. 12:51:22 From Janice Pennington : Ride Like a Girl has the brother portay himself 12:51:33 From Kenneth Kelty To All Panelists : #NothingAboutUSWithOutUS 12:51:33 From John Aspler : Not sure if anyone has mentioned this in the chat yet, but Speechless is an excellent sitcom (some misses, for sure, as with any weekly show) with disabled actors (one primary, several recurring). And it starts with some of those same 'disabled men trying to get laid' tropes Imani just mentioned (early season 1 was a bit strange - sensitive to issues around disability, but weirdly sexist at times), but it improves a huge amount over time. 12:51:43 From Miso Kwak : Yes Imani!! 12:51:49 From Kelly Donovan : Thank you Kari! We need Black people playing disabled people in movies! 12:52:18 From Kelly Donovan : What's the Joker's disability anyway? General mental illness? 12:52:22 From Jason Harris : Don’t Crip face stop playing disabled characters is you are non-disabled 12:52:28 From Seher Arslan : we loved “speechless “ and Micah who played there. That didn’t last long. that made us upset 12:52:32 From Dina Abramson : Glee said that years ago when they cast the role of the character who is a wheelchair user - then years later Ali Stroker comes along - who uses a wheelchair and can sing and act 12:52:42 From Sara Belcher To All Panelists : I loved Speechless so much! 12:52:44 From Kelly Donovan : They had a girl with Down syndrome on Glee! 12:52:44 From Jason Harris : Speechless is good I think Special is even better 12:53:15 From Lucy Richardson : For a GOOD movie with an actual disabled actor playing a disabled character, check out the independent film 'Give Me Liberty'. Actress is Lauren 'Lolo' Spencer, who is also a social media influencer 12:53:17 From Kari T : This also hugely affects employment opportunities for folx with disabilities! 12:53:20 From Kelly Donovan : Atypical is pretty good, but the main character is played by a neurotypical. But other disabled characters are played by actually autistic people 12:53:24 From Jason Harris : One of the few times as a disabled person I felt my experience was shown 12:53:25 From Regan Larsen : I loved the character Becky on glee!! She seemed written as a direct foil to Down Syndrome stereotyping 12:53:26 From Erin Taylor To All Panelists : I found Speechless troubling — the heroic mom, trite endings and unrealistic family finances. if you can’t afford a safe modified car, then mom 12:53:42 From Erin Taylor To All Panelists : probably isn’t wearing expensive shoes. 12:53:52 From Yessica Guardiola : A character with disabilities played by an actor/actress without disabilies, is like a black character played by a painted white actor/actress. 12:53:59 From Jason Harris : 19 of 20 people who won oscars playing disabled people where non-disabled 12:54:06 From Regan Larsen : The man who plays the father in Atypical is incredibly ableist and I think that comes off in the shows writing since he did that too 12:54:13 From Shan Fowler : @Jason, very respectfully, it's my understanding that the term "crip face" is considered appropriative and the term I am seeing now is "cripping up". 12:54:20 From Dina Abramson : "Everything is Going to Be Okay" Freeform show - has a character who is autistic and the actress has autism 12:54:22 From Sara Rahn To All Panelists : @Lucy- I was torn about seeing Give Me Liberty. Ive followed Lolo on insta for years...… but just couldn't bring myself to see it 12:54:24 From Pat Richley : "Special" takes on a SNL church lady connotation (and tone.) 12:54:28 From Jen Rohrig : Another way to look at it is if there were MORE rolls played by disabled people instead of always by non-disabled people we’d be less bothered 12:54:35 From Jason Harris : @ Shan thank you informing me I appreciate it and will change my language 12:54:41 From Pat Richley : @Andrew - it's sexism. 12:54:41 From Jen Rohrig : As it is it’s almost always a non disabled person playing a disabled person 12:54:43 From Bev Weinberg : Jason…that is a sunning statistic! 12:54:52 From Kelly Donovan : OH NO THE GUY WHO PLAYS DOUG IS ABLEIST IN REAL LIFE? AUUUUGH 12:54:55 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : My Left Foot was progress at the time. I felt good about it at the time. Now, I have a different point of view. Out sensibilities change over time - even those of us with disabilities. Yes, more sexism and racism. 12:54:57 From Bev Weinberg : Stunning… 12:55:11 From Jane Wuestewald To All Panelists : Most of the time when an actor takes on a part they meet the person they are portraying and study, ask questions etc. so they can become as close to who that person really is. 12:55:32 From Kari T : Play them as evil. Super human. Have extra powers. If you’re blind you must have super sonic “bat hearing”. 12:55:36 From Jason Harris : I hate that when people assume I should be good at math or computers because I am Autistic 12:55:46 From Channing Heiss To All Panelists : I would love to see more portrayals of adults with disabilities where we're not focused on but rather just ARE... 12:56:00 From Debbe Hagner : sterotype 12:56:10 From Jason Harris : Not Sheldon Cooper not Rainman 12:56:14 From Kelly Donovan : Ppl assumed I was a genius and I'm like "O_o" 12:56:15 From Ivy K To All Panelists : the way society views disability is awful. it plays out in what they budget state funds for. attendants, special education, etc 12:56:17 From Emma Parcells : they need to stop making movies and disabled people going on some journey on self discovery to do something normal 12:56:20 From Kari T : They’re awful and keep coming out. Calling them out for what they are at least brings awareness. 12:56:47 From Dina Abramson : Steve Way in the Hulu show Ramy - actor with Muscular Dystrophy - the character is foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed, crude - anti-hero portrayal 12:56:51 From Jason Harris : 3 dimensional characters 12:57:11 From Yessica Guardiola : Switch at Birth from ABC Family was good talking on deaf culture and included important characters played by deaf actors/actresses, but the main deaf character is a hearing actress. 12:57:12 From Alex Breiland : A character with disabilities played by an actor without disabilities is just so non-authentic and viewers can tell. An actor with disabilities can bring real-life experience and make the character more real. i.e. when a hearing person plays a Deaf person who uses ASL... you can tell their ASL is bad! 12:57:18 From Kari T : Yes, Emily! Taking in media in a conscious way 12:57:19 From Laurie Zappulla To All Panelists : In 1979, TWO DAYS BEFORE MY SCI, I SAW…”THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN” she had a skiing accident, I had a diving accident- she disabled but the portrayal was powerful- I thought 12:57:24 From Jason Harris : Love Peter Dinklage as an actor 12:57:32 From Kirsten Deetz : Netflix show Raising Dion has a disabled character played by a disabled person and the show really talks about issues of inclusion and seeing disabled as not in need of fixing. 12:57:39 From Bev Weinberg : Imani…what an important perspective. I have heard people say that they would rather not be referred to as “inspiring.” 12:57:56 From Jason Harris : I love how special deals with interablized ableism 12:58:14 From Kelly Donovan : Where can I watch Special? What's the story? 12:59:12 From Jason Harris : It is on Netflix. It is by Ryan O’Connell. It tells the story man with Cerebral Palsy hopes to become a writer explore his sexuality as a gay person etc 12:59:28 From Dina Abramson : Ryan wrote a book too - its very funny 12:59:29 From Ivy K To All Panelists : reminds me of master blaster on Mad Max 12:59:32 From alexander freeman To All Panelists : So when making a film what do you think filmmakers should do when addressing disability 12:59:40 From Jason Harris : He is a great writer 12:59:42 From Breanna Fetters To All Panelists : I think this clip shows how people with physical disabilities are often portrayed as superior to people with I/DD. Hordo being essentially a slave 13:00:05 From Kelly Donovan : Ah ok 13:00:17 From Jason Harris : It is really about becoming an adult 13:00:45 From Jason Harris : with his disability as part of his experience but also others experiences 13:00:51 From Laurie Zappulla To All Panelists : Who has a better story than Bran the broken-The boy who fell from a high tower and lived!

Not all disabled people can overcome disabilities because it is part of who they are . 13:05:09 From Jason Harris : They are very white 13:05:37 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : speechless - And he never used his service dog as a service dog 13:05:52 From Jason Harris : I think the show was focused more on families around people with disabilities 13:06:34 From Jason Harris : That is a good point too Emily 13:06:38 From Dina Abramson : I wish we could have seen the character in Speechless go to college 13:06:49 From Deidre Hammon To All Panelists : remember that peyton Goddard has autism and prefers her AAC voiced by other people. many people with autism do not like mechanical voices. 13:07:02 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : Agree, Dina 13:07:17 From Ivy K To All Panelists : yes! lets see college. 13:07:21 From Mary Morder To All Panelists : That's Hollywood 13:07:24 From VERONICA MCGEE To All Panelists : I did find out from the AAC world that his speech device does not exist. And why did people talk for him instead of using direct access like the real world uses 13:07:29 From Dina Abramson : Speechless also had a writer with a disability on the show - Zach Anner, who is also a comedian 13:07:42 From Elizabeth Greeno To All Panelists : Because it is a male driven society in the USA 13:07:56 From susan hetherington To All Panelists : Because society expects women to be beautiful. 13:08:10 From Dina Abramson : Zach Anner wrote a great book - If at Birth You Don't Succeed 13:08:14 From Brenda Clark : Thanks Dan, Imani, Emily, and Andrew for hosting/facilitating this discussion and perspective on systemic media portrayal. I am unable to remain due to competing schedules. Take care and continue to practice the CDC recommendations to prevent the spread and encourage others to do the same. 13:08:24 From Mary Jones-Furlow To All Panelists : Yes Jason, I, too, Notice the "all white men" aspect 13:08:43 From Kelly Donovan : Let women be goofy and get into sticky situations dangit!!!! 13:08:44 From Jason Harris : I think it is interesting to for Asexual people, Non-binary, Trans, or fat disabled people 13:08:50 From Beth Haller : What about Everything Gonna Be OK with a main character who is an autistic woman played by an actor on the spectrum. Are representations of disabled women changing? https://rootedinrights.org/kayla-cromer-is-an-autistic-actress-autistic-girls-and-women-have-been-waiting-for-this/ 13:09:08 From Jason Harris : OH good point Beth 13:09:38 From Jason Harris : I hope Maysoon Zayid show comes soon 13:09:52 From Bonnie Silvestri : When Shaylee Mansfield appears onscreen everyone signs in a very natural way, so while I have trouble with some of the shows she has been in. Seeing everyone signing in a seamless way seems very good to me. 13:10:11 From Greg Boris To All Panelists : we do have to remember Marlee Matlin 13:10:15 From Jason Harris : Marlee Maitlin is also the one disabled Deaf person to win an Oscar 13:10:26 From Jason Harris : She has been big but not enough for just one person and also white 13:10:33 From Pat Richley : @Andrew - amen to "underestimating the audience." 13:10:40 From Cara Forcino : Zooey's extraordinary playlist had an episode that focused on the Deaf community 13:10:55 From Kirsten Deetz : I saw that! 13:11:27 From Jason Harris : Great point Imani 13:11:40 From Debbe Hagner : I would like to see Nyle DiMarco more... 13:11:45 From Dina Abramson : Lauren "Lolo" Spencer - young African American actress with a form of early onset ALS - She was a in a movie called "Give me Liberty" 13:11:57 From Jason Harris : Daryl Chill Mitchell is on NCIS but a male 13:12:02 From Cara Forcino : He had a small part in Switched at Birth 13:12:07 From Channing Heiss To All Panelists : Multiple marginalization a portrayed are useful as long as they aren't treated as comedy. There were some good things about a show like Glee, but sometimes those diverse portrayals were treated as a joke. 13:12:10 From Cara Forcino : Nyle that is 13:12:37 From Shan Fowler : @Debbie Nyle has been greenlighted for his own show 13:13:10 From Dina Abramson : Steve Way is supposed to get his own show on Apple TV 13:13:11 From Samantha Burgos To All Panelists : I think the main problem is we don't encourage people with disabilities to write stories, scripts, etc. We encourage others to speak and tell their stories instead. 13:13:16 From Jason Harris : I think it is important to show people with psychiatric disability and cognitive disability that are not white 13:13:24 From Jason Harris : or straight or male 13:13:40 From Jason Harris : Oh gosh that is like Gary Oldman in that movie with Peter Dinklage 13:13:50 From Debbe Hagner : We need to be on Dr. Phil show or Elleb DeGeneres 13:13:58 From Deodonne Bhattarai : Thanks for all the questions you are all submitting.
