A6. Ableism. People grow up being taught, often with gradual subconscious messaging, that nothing should be expected from disabled people. The twin of this is that when disabled people achieve something it is seen as miraculous. An anomaly. Both are harmful and work in tandem. #AXSChat

A5. Every so often, I receive messages from disabled people utterly taken aback by seeing someone like them onstage or on screen. It’s powerful, and some of those messages also end with that person deciding to finally pursue a passion they thought unattainable. Never fails to make me cry.#AXSChat

A4. Society reflects media, and media reflects society. The more we see different kinds of people and bodies on our screens, the more we accept and understand those people in our lives. Not to mention how our entire perception of history changes based on how we see it portrayed. #AXSChat

A3. Anecdotes are how data and statistics become people and lives that we can connect to and understand. It’s easy to read data about a lot of people and understand the logic of it, but hearing a personal story about #a11y has impacted someone's life and can grant deeper understanding. #AXSChat

For me, the main thing is listening to customers, audience members or whomever you are targeting. A willingness to reach out and gather feedback, to involve every demographic within that feedback. and a willingness to change in response to that feedback, is crucial. #AXSChat

A1. Customisable difficulty. In games with it, every aspect of gameplay is tweakable. There are presets, but it can be a lazy walk through a meadow or a march through hell, or any combination. It creates accessible and personal experiences for every player. #AXSChat
