Disability Caucus Open Thread 5/26/2016: Disability Services

Chances are that if you've ever had a disability, you've probably had to deal with disability services and all the red-tape, condescension and down right infantilization that often come with them. And if you're born with acquired disabilities, it actually ends up being a hell of a lot worse. You're never truly seen as a grown up in the eyes of the 'normal' folks, and in many cases it's you who has to make concessions for them, not the other way around.
