Disability and Desire with Patrick Rory-John

Lizzie Eastham and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio's weekly look through a different lens. On this week's show "Disability and Desire – With Patrick Rory-John" Patrick Rory-John is a Psychotherapist and Clinical Counsellor. They talk to us about Disability; sexuality and the importance of the correct pronoun. Along the way we talk about sexuality and disability; consent and how a lack of understanding can lead to some very serious ramifications; and how people with a disability are often considered to be asexual, or infantilised. Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.
