Abstract Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality has been used to include different dimensions of difference and exclusion. We suggest here, however, that intersectional analyses may paradoxically further exclude discussions of the impact of disability in interaction with other factors. We outline three ways in which intersectionality may be incorrectly used. First, there is selective intersectionality where only certain forms of exclusion are considered. Second is subtractive intersectionality in which the experience of privilege may be seen as removing the lived reality of disability exclusion. Finally, we discuss last instance intersectionality in which one particular historical experience of oppression may be seen to cancel out other ongoing forms of exclusion. All these types of misuse of intersectionality may contribute to disability exclusion. Disability theorists should use concepts of intersectionality carefully and with caution.

Abstract Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is increasingly gaining currency as an approach towards achieving inclusive education by enabling the provision of flexible instructional strategies from the onset. However, there is need to find ways of navigating the hegemonic neoliberal, capitalist values controlling contemporary public education if meaningful change is to be realized. What is suggested is the necessity of paying attention to the invisible strings that control public schooling, its character and function in the society, rather than focusing only on proposing a few reforms that correct specific problems in the education system. UDL is a step towards the right direction in the pursuit of inclusive education, but much more systemic reform is needed.

Abstract This Current Issues piece offers a very personal reflection on the issue of disability and humour. It is about the author's relationship with humour in the context of an acquired neurological disability. This Current Issues piece explores the topic of disability and humour. While humour is not a novel theme within disability research, the author approaches it from the perspective of her own personal experience of living with an acquired neurological disability. The article highlights some of the complexities of humour in the context of disability, noting that the line between humour and offensiveness can be extremely thin. The article discusses two particular disability ‘storylines’ identified by Bertilsdotter Rosquist (2012) – the ‘socially critical storyline’ and ‘the storyline of “disability humour”’. It adds a third storyline, in which disability and humour can happily co-exist, but without disability necessarily being the direct object of that humour. The neurologist Dr Allan Ropper has described neurology patients as disappearing ‘down a rabbit hole’. For the author, humour is way of adapting to the ‘rabbit hole’ – but without disappearing down it.

Abstract Autistic Children and young people (CYP) experience higher rates of mental health problems, including anxiety and depression, than their neurotypical peers. Yet, often mental health assessment and support is lacking for autistic CYP as assessment tools and evidence-based interventions have typically been developed with neurotypical population needs in mind. Following a narrative matters style, this article outlines the lack of recognition given in mental health services towards autistic CYP attempting to access support, highlighting some future priorities in service delivery. Issues relating to health professionals misinterpreting and mis-labelling autistic CYP experiences, the impact that this has upon those attempting to gain mental health support and possible changes that can be implemented at minimal cost both financially and to service delivery design and implementation are highlighted.

Abstract Protecting the Section 7 autonomy rights of Canadian consumers/survivors/ex-patients and the mad (c/s/x/m), as enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, with past experiences of enduring intrusive procedures forced upon them, to decline immunization against COVID-19 is a mad liberation issue, to which Mad Studies must not shut its eyes. To some c/s/x/m, vaccine mandates mirror traumatic moments from their psychiatric past, when they had their autonomy stripped, and their right to legal consent infringed upon by physicians of the mind claiming diminished capacity. In this article, I propose expanding categories of medical exemptions to consider mental health contexts, and accommodations be provided to those with diverging minds who are vaccine skeptic. I conclude with a clarion call to madvocates to stand against the violence of coercing vaccinations.

Abstract Following the publication of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability, the rights and situation of people with disabilities have once again become a focus of national, European and international policy and advocacy. Mansell et al., (2007) identified that there were over 1million people with disabilities in Europe living in institutions of over 30 places in size and almost 1.4 million in some form of residential care. This paper reports findings from a review of national and international sources of data on living situation for 27 European countries as of 2019. Although there had been some changes, especially for children and especially in countries where EU structural funds had been used, there were still 1.4 million people living in residential care, with many still for more than 30 people. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities were those who were most likely to still be in residential services. We consider some of the potential reasons for these findings and discuss what might be needed to really advance deinstitutionalisation. Point of interest People with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else to live in the community. This paper looks at where people with disabilities live and how this has changed over time. We found that many people with disabilities still live in institutions and that the number had not changed much since 2007. There have been more changes for children than adults. Fewer children now live in institutions. People with intellectual disabilities are most likely to still live in institutions and least likely to be living and participating in the community. Many countries in Europe still do not have good information about where people with disabilities live and whether they have choice and control or are active citizens. There was more change in countries which had received money from the European Union. However, in many countries, there were no plans for how to help more people to live in the community.
