"You're making autism your whole personality but you shouldn't, you're not your autism !"
Listen. When I was diagnosed I found out EVERYTHING I thought was my "personality" were actually autistic traits and it messed me up so bad because I didn't know who I was anymore. Literally EVERY. SINGLE. Thing I ever did or thought was actually autism. Then I realized hey, if all of my personality is "just autism", that means all of neurotypicals' personalities are also "just neurotypicality". Actually I can even observe it now that I know all of the traits and it's very obvious ! But neurotypicals are considered the norm, so they don't have to analyze it so they don't know.
My autism is my whole personality the same way your neurotypicality is your whole personality, you just never had to acknowledge it unlike me

If my autism off-putting to you, that’s your problem and not mine

You’re not a bad person for not being able to do things. You weren’t meant to do everything and no one should expect you to. Doing your best is more than good enough.

Disabled people have worth.
Human beings have worth because we are human beings.
Disabled people who are unemployed, who are on disability benefits, who require caregivers, who are dependent on family members, have worth.

"Disabled pride" doesn't necessarily have to mean "I'm proud to be disabled".
It can also mean "I'm a disabled person persevering in an inherently ableist world and I'm proud of that".

I’m allowed to be lazy. Disabled or not. Laziness isn’t an inherently bad thing y’all just too caught up in hyper capitalist hustle culture to care. I don’t owe you productivity. I’m allowed to rest.
My rest is radical.

oh no no motherfucker you dont get the last word. my post. i do. you pissed me off and now im gonna put down in detail everything that is wrong with you. are you ready? ohhh i dont give a shit!!! here we go!!!
firstly: nitpicking a three sentence post head ass. i wrote the post. i never intended for it to blow up. im op and i know what i meant. mental illness in and of itself is long term and i dont give a fuck whether you can fully recover or not. no matter how many stupid little *~+~*>£~idiot stars~¥*=*~* you put around your words to emphasize your sarcasm the fact of the matter is Yeah. Actually Sometimes You CANT Recover.
secondly im glad to know youre not interested in what anybody disabled has to say because im 100% certain nobody disabled mentally or otherwise is interested in what YOU have to say either, aside from laughing at how utterly fucking tone deaf you are. ohhhgh you Know Better than all us Crazy Idiot Short Bus Nutcases huh? nothing we say matters INHERENTLY because “we could always be trying harder NOT to be Crazy Idiot Short Bus Nutcases” huh? EVEN if we (your own wording)
Tumblr media
“cant ever be completely treated” we could always spend our WHOLE LIVES trying to just do a LITTLE more because we all know the closer you are to neurotypical the more youre worth as a person, right?
thirdly. recovery from ANYTHING was NEVER even the point.
the POINT of the post is that (REGARDLESS OF AILMENT), saying that shit to anybody is
FUCKING RUDE.
and arguing that Actually WE are the problem because We Arent Trying Hard Enough is
ABLEIST.
and FOURTHLY, it is ALSO rude (and ableist!) as *•+^~~<FUCK<^*^•~* to act like our self-acceptance and self-worth is a PROBLEM that needs FIXING. like neurodiverse and mentally disabled people are WRONG for finding happiness in themselves. that we NEED to exert MORE time and MORE effort into fighting a losing war with our conditions rather than accept it, MANAGE IT AS BEST WE CAN, and live HAPPILY with it. i recall noting that before i came to terms with myself i was SUICIDAL? is that what youre looking for? would you rather me and everyone else be like that instead???
how Fucking Dare You call the way i live, the way i and millions of other people HAVE to live, a performance. i did not bust my ass for nearly a decade (UNMEDICATED) trying to figure out how to like myself enough not to kill myself just for your goofy ass to tell me IM NOT DOING ENOUGH.
I DID NOT SURVIVE THIS LONG JUST TO BE TOLD TO OUTTHINK IT.
THATS THE POINT OF THE POST.

disabled + neurodiverse people i love you. we deserve respect. we deserve pride. stay epic.
people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

no lol. this post is about people treating chronic / long term / lifelong parts of you that you Cannot Recover From like theyre inconveniences that you can magically Think Away so youre “Normal” again
ive been in therapy for eight years and on meds for three. who i am today is leagues beyond where i ever thought i would be ten years ago when i was actively suicidal. but its never been because i “recovered” from my adhd or my anxiety its because ive learned how to Manage it and how to structure my life to include those aspects of me
i fought my mental illness for years and it only ever made me feel broken. like i was the problem. like i was too stupid to overcome this hurdle that everyone so desperately wanted (and some still want) to get rid of
but my adhd is an integral part of me and how i interact with the world. sure it makes my life harder but fighting against it thinking i could cure myself was never an option. its just how my brain works and thats ok. sometimes there are bees in my head. sometimes there are days where a two-step process takes me twenty steps. but instead of forcing myself to carry twenty things i find ways to break it down into managable bits
and some people may not be able to do that yet. some people may never be able to. and thats ok. sometimes it isnt an injured leg, its a missing leg. sometimes its not an inability to speak another language, its a struggle to even speak one at all. not everyone CAN fight it, and not everyone wants to.
after years of beating yourself down, after years of working to learn how to value your own life, after years of struggling to even figure out whats wrong with you, after finally accepting it as a part of who you are and advocating for a world where you shouldnt HAVE to fight it,
after all that time and effort, do you seriously think youre ever gonna want to hear someone tell you to “put your mind to” simply getting over it?
people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

i can never write a soulmates au cause i very quickly stop thinking about romance and start thinking about the sociological implications of a world where soulmates are a confirmed verifiable thing
