On this, the final episode of Traitor Radio, we're talking disability and the 'r' word with Schuyler and Robert Rummel-Hudson, the father-daughter pair behind Fighting Monsters with Rubber Swords, a brilliant blog and writing project dedicated to disability advocacy. Rummel-Hudson's book, Schuyler's Monster, is a must-read. Schuyler, who'll graduate from high school this year, and Robert discuss how it felt the first time they heard President Donald Trump mock a reporter with a disability, how they've overcome clashes with institutional resistance to ability accommodations, and what to say -- and do -- when someone uses the "r" word as a slur.

On this week's group chat, we discuss holiday traditions, list some things we wish we could put on a wish list, share some stuff we love on the Roundabout Roundup, have a chat with Robert Rummel-Hudson, and do some shameless self-promotion. Here's your road map to the episode: 05:31 'Tis the Season — Traditions rule this time of year, but sometimes traditions change with time and the nearness of family, and sometimes new members (or overzealous teachers) make for new traditions. We share our family traditions and wish Catherine all kinds of luck on that big card-sending dream. 17:20 Speed Round: Wishful Wishing — Terri's post on the Friendship Circle blog listing things we wish we could get as gifts inspired this week's special Speed Round.

Is it worth all the anger and upset to call out every case of injustice against people with disabilities? How can we possibly draw a line about which ones aren't worth caring about? (For more of Rob's thoughts on the subject, and a link to Schuyler's video mentioned in our conversation, read his post today on Support for Special Needs.) 46:14 Shameless Self-Promotion — Terri already did her shameless self-promotion up in the Speed Round, but she suggests you go check out the Friendship Circle blog anyway and see what else she's been up to; Nicole is still giving away books on inclusion by Julie Causton on her Inclusive Class website, so get to it; and Catherine has an article on VeryWell on holiday-themed games for kids.

All kids need parents to advocate for them. Special needs kids need especially loud and pushy parents to go to bat for them at school and help them get what they require to succeed. In this podcast I talk with Robert Rummel-Hudson, author of "Schuyler's Monster - A Father's Journey with his wordless Daughter. (St. Martin's Griffin 2009). In this totally engaging memoir, Rob tells the story of a family struggling to find the answers to a child's dilemma, while chronicling of their unique relationships, formed without traditional language against the expectations of a doubting world. About Robert Rummel-Hudson Robert has been writing online since 1995. During that time, his work has been recognized by the Diarist Awards and has been featured in articles in the Austin Chronicle, the Irish Times, the New Haven Register, the Dallas Morning News, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He has been featured on American Public Radio's Weekend America, WFAA's Good Morning Texas and KERA's Think with Krys Boyd. The Rummel-Hudson family was the subject of a feature story by Fox 26 Houston's Greg Groogan. Robert was the featured keynote speaker at the 2009 Texas Speech Language Hearing Association Convention in Austin.
