About this campaign
Sick of hearing "social skills" used as a euphemism for "disabled people should be seen and not heard?"
So am I.
That's why I started writing realsocialskills.org a few years ago. Social skills really do exist, and they're not about fading powerlessly into the background. Real social skills are about learning effective and ethical ways to interact with other people.
Noncompliance is one of the most important social skills. Noncompliance skills make it possible to say no, even when others want your right to say no to be entirely hypothetical. Noncompliance skills also make it possible to say yes, and do things you care about, even when others don?t think those things are worthwhile. Noncompliance also means paying attention to your own thoughts, even when you're around people who expect you to agree with their emphatic opinions. When other people try to take over, it is possible to hold on to yourself and make choices. Noncompliance is a social skill, and it gets easier with practice.
