Absolutely! Inclusive characters are important in movies as they act as vehicles of not only identifying with, but also archetypes of integrity to emulate. Please check out movies by Abe Forsythe @abeforsythe which are very inclusive without being sentimental or trite. xitter.cf/jayruderman/status/101…

“Stop Yelling.” #AlwaysAdvocating xitter.cf/wkamaubell/status/9982…
One big question asked by people who aren't members of the Disability Community is, "WHAT DO I CALL YOU?"

2) The answer is simple. There isn't one answer.

Unfortunately it is more common to hear comments about congregate care instead of inclusion now. xitter.cf/thearcus/status/998641…
