Who do we follow? “ The utilisation of means which are as culturally normative as possible, in order to establish and/or maintain personal behaviours and characteristics which are as culturally normative as possible” Wolf Wolfensberger

Or… These guys talk a lot of bollocks. Nobody I know talks about inclusion and normalisation. It’s about going for a pint with my mates, wearing my Celtic top and having a right good laugh. It’s about people calling me by first name, and having a bit of money in my pocket. A good film on the telly and a girl to cuddle up to.” Mark Mcgroarty
