My reviews of Speechless “Club”
So the talking computer is AAC. Cool! It’s been awhile since I saw an AAC device. I have a feeling JJ ditched the device as a way to give the other actors more lines. Dumb but I can see why they did it for a production standpoint. The “Identify” joke was priceless! Yes JJ was very immature,I didn't like the dragged out fight, but I have seen fully grown disabled adults treat aides like crap. I was kind of like that at JJ's age in certain ways. I was too caught up in my own concerns and did not realize other people had lives and problems. The club plot was cute. I loved "The parent trap" reference. JJ should have the AAC as a backup if nothing else.
My review of Oscar Party
Becky’s daughter kinda looks like me 10 years ago. I totally agree I love how Kenneth had to be all inclusive. In general if inclusion is done correctly it works pretty well but it is impossible to be 100% inclusive because the nature of disability makes it so broad. I thought they depicted this well. I was not a fan of being dragged to special needs groups as a disabled kid either. So my family left me out of it. I also didn't like the one "special needs" camp I went to. It felt like I was forced to make friends instead of letting it happen naturally. In regards to the moms. I would have wrote the episode where some of the moms make the disability all about them and some moms don't and they keep doing guilt trips on each other. This was a real observation I made about some moms of disabled. I think there is a huge denial by the disabled community about how hard care taking is and I think disabled adults need to help care takers by understanding this.
