We’re not going to ask you whether the dress is white & gold or blue & black, though you’re more than welcome to let us know what you see. But, if you know what I’m talking about, then you’re probably also aware of other pop culture news this week that just happens to include AT & disability, like the incredibly popular Comcast video of the 7-year-old blind girl’s reimagining of the Wizard of Oz, or the buzz about Eddie Redmayne winning an Oscar for portraying Stephen Hawking in the Theory of Everything.
