[Adam Fenton @AdamPFenton]

When disability is used purely as a plot device you always run into problems. In story, casting, ethics, writing, representation, you have to begin with authenticity.

Otherwise you perpetuate dogeared ideas of disabled people that harm the community (that you ain’t even in!!!)

@MandaBrookman Film and TV producer.

[Shekhar Bassi @BassiShekhar]

Meeting a producer on zoom today I got asked ‘Was i really disabled?’ Asked what she meant. ‘You people are always trying to pull a fast one.’-‘You people?!’ I asked. ‘You know what I mean,’ she said. Do I need to wear a badge saying I am disabled or am disabled British Asian??
