Yesterday, I was denied reasonable accomodations at the Calif Department of Motor Vehicles, in their office in El Cerrito--about five miles from Berkeley, Calif, which is (as I'm sure you know, the birth place of the modern disability rights movement.) I quietly requested accomodations. At least five times, not counting the two phone calls confirming the accomodations *before* my appointment. I basically let the DMV clerks hang themselves. One of the clerks finally started screaming at me. She basically let the 10 employees and 75 or so people in the room know that she was "sick of your 'reasonable accomodations!'" She tried to make me take the written test, in retaliation for my requesting accomodations--which the initial letter from the DMV said I didn't have to do this year. She screamed that she thought I was crazy and thus should not be operating a motor vehicle. (Calif has pretty strict laws about quacks claiming to be health care providers...) Anyway, I've got an appointment with a disability rights lawyer. I think the DMV will find out pretty soon that they pissed off the wrong people! Keep up the great work.
