The insight provided should also fuel innovation for new tools, equipment, and approaches to beekeeping that are more inclusive to all individuals, including those with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":480357,"journal":{"name":"Including Disability","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135321784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines tweets from the #ActuallyAutistic hashtag in the wake of the trailer and film release of Sia’s film Music. I analyze the ways that autistic Twitter users responded to the anti-autistic rhetorics of the film, as well as non-autistic Twitter users’ ableism and defense of Sia. Findings demonstrate how autistic Twitter users perform métis online to create an autistic rhetoric and reclaim rhetoricity. The success of this activism is seen through negative film reviews, which cite the film’s ableism, and other popular media rejections of the film. I argue that as a virtual and textual kairotic space, Twitter helps autistic people retake agency and provides a space to use métis rhetorics to center autistic experience and create an autistic rhetoric.","PeriodicalId":480357,"journal":{"name":"Including Disability","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135322958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing works by Sunaura Taylor, Thomas Bretz, Temple Grandin, and Cary Wolfe, I examine ways to condemn the disability-causing functions of industrialized agriculture as well as address the rift between the animal rights and disability justice community caused by Singer’s Animal Liberation without detracting from the work done by disability activists to destigmatize disability. The driving question for this article grapples with how to celebrate disability while simultaneously acknowledging that disability-causing structures like factory farming are bad. Through a posthumanist approach, this paper contends that by rejecting human exceptionalism and moving past agency as a qualifier for moral consideration, the two communities can be reconciled and ensure their rights.","PeriodicalId":480357,"journal":{"name":"Including Disability","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135321781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was made up of an anonymous, online survey of over 300 self-identifying ND adults, primarily with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and/or autism. The survey included both close-ended and open-ended questions about participants’ use of PKM strategies, and responses indicated that while the life domains of Job and Academic were reported to be most positively impacted by PKM, the life domains of Everyday Life and Leisure, and to a lesser extent Health, Family and Partnership, and Social Contacts were also positively impacted.

 Methods: A survey of knowledge addressing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Basics, Accessibility Fundamentals, Web Accessibility: Basic Methods and Tools, and Web Accessibility Testing: Screen Readers was developed and distributed through Qualtrics. The knowledge test was to take 30 to 35 minutes. A final question will ask if a participant would like to participate in a training program on the aforementioned topics. Data was analyzed using MS Excel.
 Results: Out of the target of 15 participants, seven elected to start the knowledge survey for a 47% return. However, five of the seven fully completed the knowledge survey. The average score was 33 out of 45 for an average percentage of 75%.
 Discussion: The findings demonstrate that persons with low vision or blindness need training and more knowledge of web accessibility. Additional research to explore knowledge accessibility of persons with low vision and blindness should be encouraged to explore careers and training in the field.
 Implications for Practitioners: Developing web accessibility training and providing resources for accessibility certification may be beneficial. It is essential to support persons with visual impairments to obtain licensure or certification. Career development and planning to help employment should be included.","PeriodicalId":480357,"journal":{"name":"Including Disability","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135322941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
