As for your mother, sorry that does sound unreasonable. But there's a little bit of turn abouts fair play. No one claims to get these things exactly right, and for your mother to have to use a different term isn't exactly an awful hardship. n.b. who actually told her, and how enforceable a decision was it?
As for the pc brigade, who are they? (sounds like a particularly dangerous brigade of the army). Aaron I've helped people with epilepsy as part of a range of conditions. It depress's me that I've had to consider advising people to lie on risk applications, and job applications, as one mention of the e word, or mental illness or what ever. And you'll have hard time joining a swimming pool, getting a job, or even doing yoga.
n.b. It was only about 30 years ago epilepsy could bar you from wide range of job.
As for the thing on jobs. Supposing it was every one, all of the time. Which it has been for a lot of people.
If I seem PC, it's because I work with people with mental health issue, epileptic symptoms, and learning disabilities. Not so long about 20 years ago, their fate was to be locked up for life in hospitals, that would make our worst prisons look preferable. Lives wasted in misery, and suffering. It's the so called PC brigade, the Disability Discrimination Act, and Care in the Community (most of which started under Thatcher go figure), that knocked the doors down.
Aaron their are people to day, who walk the streets, hold down jobs, and have as good, and free a life as any one. Thanks to what you would consider PC. It's so sad to reduce it down to a huff over using a different word for Brainstorm. PC only reflects the politics of the time, in Nazi Germany philo-semitism was unPC.
