Contemporary disability studies occupy and agitate for what Carol Thomas (2007) defines as a transdisciplinary space: breaking boundaries between disciplines; deconstructing professional/lay distinctions and decolonizing traditional medicalised views of disability with socio-cultural conceptions of disablism. Thomas (2007: 73) defines disablismas a form of social oppression involving the social imposition of restrictions of activity on people with impairments and the socially engendered undermining of their psycho-emotional well being 3

One day he plucked up the courage to tell a couple of pals about his use of catheter. By the end of the day, his new name around the school was wee-wee boy . This had made him very angry. He got his revenge against the main bully of the school, who has using this new name, by entering his urine bag into the boy s schoolbag, out of sight of the teacher in the maths lesson.
