What effect is all this blogging having on the brains of bloggers?

I have been working with people who have a learning difficulty or whichever stereotypical label you would like to use, and was fascinated by your insight into the man not the label. George sounds like a very interesting chap! I have been in a senior position within a charity providing services for many years and am constantly battling with the labels and manner with which colleagues relate to the people we are providing support for. Things have vastly improved since my early days of nurse training in a very large institution but we are still years away from real and true acceptance and integration of this group of people. I am working with many hundreds of staff and people who access our services and have been trying to facilitate real \'Person Centred Services\' but this continues to be incredibly challenging for more reasons than I will go into now. However your closing statement about looking at the person in their entirety and listening to their story is heartwarming.
