TRIGGER WARNINGS – isolation, hate crime, people with learning disabilities being treated as children
Welcome to our podcast, ‘My Ordinary Life’.
In each episode we will be talking to some fascinating people who have one thing in common: they all have a learning disability.
In this episode, we meet Paul James.
Paul is passionate about equal rights and has brought this energy and focus to his many and varied roles advocating for people with learning disabilities and autistic people.
In this episode he reflects on his working life; speaking truth to power and how it feels to be the only person with a learning disability in the room.
We hear about his life beyond work. His education and the challenges in finding love as a person with a learning disability.
Some of our guests have speech differences and you may prefer to watch with subtitles on YouTube.
