Hehe whispering in online Meetings can be challenging in itself! And it would have to be captioned too 😂

Jokes aside I thought about typing in the Chat but did not want to disrupt too much so I just waited and mentioned it off sync .

Danke!
Ich weiß es nicht alles nur entweder oder.
Wichtig ist zu wissen dass ADHS ist einer neurodivergenz und nicht eine psychische Krankheit die geheilt werden könnte. Auch wenn die Wirkungen der Neurodivergenz eine Einfluss auf den Verhalten und psychische Komponente haben. 💕

I thought about that today when a colleague refused to read a word in the slides Talking about ableistic Language and good alternatives. I could read the words, but my blind colleague could not.
At the same time it's her trauma learnt experience and forcing her to read out loud would not be ok. 🥹

Mein ADHS wird nicht von Neurologen behandelt... 🥹

I'm still worried about deafblind people, getting annoying stuff... has anyone tested this with a Screenreader?
Also: out of curiosity! Is there any study that demonstrates they will use a plain text version, someone could point to?

It's ok. I DO need them. I have hated my glasses since day 1 at 10 yo. I tolerate them now.
A friend of mine at 12 "wore glasses saying it was only for fashion because it made her look intelligent" I found it weird-but cute. She wears glasses still today. Maybe it was just coping? Abd it's still ok

Do you know about this?
I used it in countries like the UK and Belgium and the travel experience was smooth. They are expanding and more he companies that get in the program get an 8min training for its employees. Maybe you can write a letter to your local transport system?

There’s even a hashtag (hashtag alt4me) and a kind volunteer will add alt text.

Just blurting your posts out into the world without giving that context of intending to include people gives the impression you can’t be bothered. And that’s not terribly inclusive. Just ask. There’s no shame in it.

Just been relooking at this.

One of the first tools to be released is Fonttik

github.com/electronicar...

A tool for reviewing accessibility of type and fonts with in games.

I can already see the potential for these patents stretching beyond gaming & affecting the development of digital services.
