[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 188264, member: 1991"] Sara, your mention of autism and labels reminded me - in our school system here in Australia, autism is described as a psychiatric condition. But in our tertiary education system, it is categorised as neurological. The various departments within the disability education area in tertiary education are broken up into these categories - "Deaf/Hearing Impairment Intellectual Disability Neurological & Physical Disability Physical Disability Psychiatric Disability Vision Impairment" So even when you have a range of categories, the same disability can be put into a different pigeonhole, purely on the whim of some bureaucrat. Some people undoubtedly fall into more than one category - there is a general enquiries number to find out who is the most appropriate department for a student. Marg [/QUOTE]
