THIS WEEKS DISABILITY PODCAST. I HAD A BLACK DOG,FINANCIAL ADVICE WITH ALLAN CUTHBERT & DF REPORT WITH PRESENTER'S ERIC&MARY

Educational to the listener moving and a real eye-opener that is worth Listening too Roxanne is a typical teenage girl who is into music and clothes but struggles to make friends due to"inappropriate" behaviour and sudden violent attacks. Moneer lost his mother recently and is prone to bouts of frustration. Esther is alone and generally an outsider in her community, with a background of always being by herself. Roy obsessively talks about Eastenders and gets annoyed if his video collection has it's labelling even slightly out of whack and is easily thrown by new things. All have Autism. This programme follows the four people and sees what "normal" life means for them. With with no more than a vague knowledge of autism and finished Listening to this will make you feeling moved, cheered and rather tearful. Suffice to say it was an eye opening Show that you be very glad you listened too.However what the Show does well is simply shows what autism means for these four people.It is too easy to look at autism and see it simply as people playing up, being loud, being rude or just being difficult – I have only known one person really well who I suspected of being autistic convincing and moving in showing this. Each person is likable but yet "different" and each makes for a compelling Show. Roy wants to be normal but his painful attempts to overcome himself are difficult and moving to Listen – he knows what he should feel but cannot. Moneer is the main focus, probably because he is the most outward child, talkative but prone to wild swinging emotionally. His story and his feelings are engaging and, although he appears outwardly very able, you do wonder how he will manage in the years to come. Esther serves well as a bookend to the other stories but she isn't developed to let us understand her. For me Roxanne was the most moving of the four and the film shows her struggling and (physically) fighting herself to try and stop hurting others or just being rude to them; she is so needing of love but yet so unable of stopping her bad side coming through.For each of them the Show has a positive ending but really it is only a matter of them showing that they will battle on – but you do have to wonder how well they can do or how they can cope long-term. The lack of solutions will bother some Listeners Maybe but this is not what the Show is about – it is about educating the you the listener as to the daily, hourly meaning of autism to the sufferers. The normal can be impossible, little things are difficult, some basic concepts just cannot be understood. It does this very well and is moving, enlightening and a very worthwhile way to spend about 19 minutes of your time to listen to.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464102/

Ireland's Dedicated Disability Show every Wed with Eric & Mary http://youtu.be/SOQ1X5uFUUY

Eric & Mary talk to Ms. Siobhan kane of Inclusion Ireland about People with a disability and their families will march on 21st November to say in one loud voice, ‘We Demand Rights, Not Charity’ & Call on Government to Implement Disability Promises in the 2011 Programme for Government. A list of the Promises made in the 2011 Programme for Government relating to disability, are available to view HERE Everyone who supports the rights of people with disabilities should attend! This includes grandparents, cousins, neighbours, work colleagues, team mates etc etc. This is about demanding equal rights and if you believe in this, then we need your support!! Date: Wednesday, 21st November 2012 Time: Assemble at 2pm, leaving at 2.30pm Where: Central Bank, College Green, Dublin 2, with a march to Leinster House, Kildare St, Dublin 2 This march is for individuals with disabilities and their families. None of the organisations that are part of the Disability Rights Coalition will bring placards with their organisation names on it, and we ask others to respect this by also not bringing banners or placards highlighting issues associated with a service or organisation. Instead of placards with organisation names, we want people to highlight where they are from. Please bring placards with slogans like ‘Ballinasloe says Nothing About Us Without Us’, or ‘Cork says Rights Not Charity’. Please use red card or placards for these banners – we want to send a strong message that we are giving Government a red card. If everyone uses red, then this will be a great visual message. Also, no political party posters. This march is about promoting people’s individual rights. The Disability Rights Coalition are facilitating this protest by sending out information, but we want it to be about individuals with disabilities and their families coming together to support each other in demanding greater equality. The Programme for Government published in March 2011 contained many keys promises to people with disabilities, including “tackling Ireland’s economic crisis in a way that is fair, balanced, and which recognises the need for social solidarity”. But cuts affecting people with disabilities and their families continue to build up, and people are feeling increasingly isolated and abandoned by this Government. This march calls on Government to fully implement Disability Promises in the 2011 Programme for Government.

This week we look at a new safety App which is Free Bsafe and discuss the topics of the week on the show that puts Ability into Disability.

This week show is about cut's to PA and The minister's U-Turn mental health and last look at Paralympic's.
