Dear Tina, and Colleagues in related venues:
Thank you for posting this very indeed moving piece.
Though you would never ask for it, you are to be congratulated for your
enduring devotion to what we often call "*equality*" but in bare grab I
would venture is basically "*humanity.*"
Because of perceived differences and presumed effort it would take to
understand difference and network it in.
Even though difference when and if explored would often be revealed as need,
and even special gifts and certainly compelling or critical circumstance.
Your contributions in areas where *en masse* huge numbers of persons are -
unthinkable though it is - brutalized when they should be supported, is
very important and should be supported by all.
Here is a good example, though the picture painted is of course very
intense.
With best wishes, LDMF.

**Respectful Interfaces* e-Note:*
To those we met together with - regarding the CRPD, in Washington this past
week - and our other cherished Colleagues as Well:
Personal Observation:
Watching CNN etc. on World Autism Day, today, was pleased to view Joan
Carlos and Jacqueline Brandt (he heads DPI NGO Dept. and various other
functions brilliantly, and his wife is said to be on leave from the U.N.,
including more cherished time to spend with family. (These details are media
derived).
Working with Juan Carlos is a great experience in all the different U.N.
venues in which he leads and participates, and viewing him today a real
treat especially at this time as the full ratification of the *Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities* seems imminent.
Here are some background links:
