Having Down syndrome and Autism in our family, we regularly check out the interesting posts on Just Show Up blog.
Also, IDEAL-WAY.ca is an amazing org that "gets it". Their unique methods to re-educate mainstream people, by publicly empowering persons with intellectual disability, make it the best in the industry, in our opinion.

IDEAL-WAY.ca was even FOUNDED by a guy with Down syndrome!

Presumably, that is how unique thinking must have started.
They actually practice what others seem to just preach.
