The Disability Tangent

Welcome to our first Hot Take!

A short, sweet, saucy 30-minute rough cut of Rocco and Christy talking about current events that intersect with disability identity.

This time, it is the Autism CARES Act that was signed into law in the USA and puts $2 billion in funding in the hands of autistic people ... or does it? Listen in for more!

Yuletide, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa... whatever you celebrate, we hope you will celebrate it with us! We have assembled an amazing group of the disability community to share the season with you, starting with Nicholas Aether, our esteemed guest, and a snippet of what will be a much longer interview in the coming year. We also have Rocco and Christy sharing holiday memories and made-up holidays of the present day and reflections from Suzannah Weiss, Robin Arnall, and Isaac Harvey MBE! What a lineup!

It isn't all joy, as we note some of the challenges we face at the holidays and how we need to address them. Disabilities don't take vacations, and they can be even more affecting for some in this season, so we acknowledge the many difficulties that the season can bring and honor all sorts of experiences.

We at The Disability Tangent are so grateful for all this year has brought and look forward to the amazing things coming for us in 2025. We thank you and hope you will continue to join us on this journey in the New Year! Happy Holidays!

Don't let the laughter fool you. We are serious about bringing on Isaac Harvey MBE as a part of the Disability Tangent team! We may break down in tears from the joy we are experiencing in this conversation, but we also discuss the many adventures of Isaac, including his work as a content creator and video editor, his recent trip from Brighton to Paris with Wheels and Wheelchairs, and his upcoming plans for the LA Paralympics, which are admittedly not fully formed. But there's still time to create a plan for 2028. We have confidence he will be there and we will all be laughing in sunny California together. It is a lighthearted conversation, but Isaac is a force in the disability advocacy space, and we are thrilled to be chatting with him about so much on this episode! We dare you to watch it without cracking a smile. Let us know if you can. We will be amazed at your stoicism!

Grab your glass of vino and sit back for this engaging interview with Dr. Nanni Presti in Sicily. Nanni shares about the history, the psychology, and the community engagement surrounding his work in behavioral analysis and challenges our perceptions of the science. In short, the United States is doing everything wrong. But there is hope and there is a lot of opportunity for change! Dive into this deep episode with us and look at how holistic thinking and scientific rigor can make a big difference in the supports offered to people with disabilities. And so much more!

Another Tangent hits the airwaves and this time Rocco and Christy are talking about "Fixing". What is it? What does it mean in the context of disability? How do we keep from making disabled people feel wrong, or broken? And what helps us find authentic, empowering community? Jump in to this topic with us as we stumble upon some wisdom--and a little chaos, and a little laughter, and a little weirdness. We look at some models of disability, some ways to address access needs, and some personal stories that tie in to it all.

On this tangent episode, Christy and Rocco talk about “fixing” disability and the role of the community is forcing masking peoples’ behavior.

The second half of a fantastic conversation with Suzannah Weiss! We jump back in to chatting about neurodiversity and dating, relationships and sex. There is so much good content, and some hard content so trigger warnings, y'all. How to break out of societal boundaries, do we forgive people who have violated our boundaries, and what do we do when people don't seem to respect that we can't meet the expectations society sets for us. Lots of wisdom. Lots of laughs. Lots of concerns about when we will break for lunch. It is all in this episode! Grab a slice, and give it a listen! (Seriously, you'll be hungry by the end. We all were. Even the dog.)

Suzannah Weiss, author of Subjectified: Becoming a Sexual Subject joins us to talk about her book and so. much. more. In fact, we had so much to talk about that we are continuing the conversation in the next episode. We discuss some challenging topics, so a warning to those who might want to steer clear of this one or seek out supports, or listen with friends. Sex and neurodivergence start us off but that leads to stories and statistics of sexual coercion, assaults, and how we can begin to shape our own behaviors to stay safer and state needs. There is a lot to unpack about how disability diagnosis can lead to damaging situations. But we also have a lot of quirky fun as we dive into this subject matter! Christy loses her train of thought. Rocco takes us on a tangent. And Suzannah asks some really good questions of our hosts, turning the tangent tables on us! So get ready for a great time with the person we may just make our resident sexologist, and move her on into the studio (aka Christy's guest room) because we are smitten. (Christy is. Christy is smitten. Rocco is happily married, y'all.)

Accessibility at Will Rogers World Airport has seen some major changes in recent years and Stacey Hamm is here to tell us all about it! We chat about the Oklahoma City airports commitment to getting disability access right and how they are working toward this with the Hidden Disability Sunflower Lanyard Program and so much more. We also discover that Rocco is a wizard (as if you didn't know) and that Christy can loudly ramble on about unrelated tangential topics (as if you didn't know)! There is a lot to cover and Stacey is surprisingly good and answering questions that we have not yet even asked! So we cover it quickly! Fasten your seatbelts and keep your tray tables in the upright position y'all! Let's go!

Dr. Deana Herrman, Professor, Physical Therapist, and Parent joins the discussion today and brings so much knowledge and perspective around how we speak. We talk about expertise, lived experience, extending our practice to include social determinants of health and so much more. Y'all Christy is still the loudest, but Deana is the fastest speaker we have had on the program and she is packing in the information like a Gilmore Girl on fire, so get ready. And speaking of loud, there may be yelling--be prepared for that as well. Apparently some passionate feels come out at the intersection of disability and healthcare! Who knew? But we're all friends, folx. No guests, or birds, were harmed in the making of this episode.

A tangent full of tangents explores the topic of age and how it relates to disability. We touch on milestones, mobility aids, and making assumptions and the way these relate to ableism as Rocco and Christy jump into this discussion. Learn more about the hosts as they share a bit about their personal journeys with illness in youth and how that contributed to their views on disability today. And, of course, be ready for some wild and wacky side conversation, because we can't seem to get through an episode without it--the name of the podcast says it all, folks. Tangents Away!
