10. Access to communication in the widest sense is access to
knowledge, and that is vitally important for us if we are not to
go on being despised or patronized by condescending sighted
people. We do not need pity, nor do we need to be reminded
that we are vulnerable. We must be treated as equals - and
communication is the way we can bring this about.
