#disability isnt a bad word
Text
also i know autism and ADHD overlap in a lot of areas and that people commonly have the two comorbid so some amount of blending of the two in discussion online makes sense, but i’ve been feeling weirdly invisible as an autistic person lately. it almost feels like people have blended the two into one disorder and therefore i am expected to relate to ADHD specific stuff in the same breath as autism stuff even though i do not have ADHD and it’s just mildly bewildering and awkward lmao
#kiki was here#kiki.txt#i have a lot of complaints abt online neurodiversity discussion#such as yes my autism is a disability#disability isnt a bad word#but i will stop my rant here today i think im too tired BDKDDK

hey has anyone noticed that the one disabled character in stranger things (dustin) is the only one in a long distance relationship..... almost as if.... they didn’t want to write a romance with a disabled person....... not at all concerning to consider, especially alongside their two canonically queer characters (will and robin) who both have unreciprocated feelings for someone and also don’t get an on-screen romance........
#almost as if the duffers were like haha look! we're progressive!#and then forgot that queer and disabled ppl are both uhhh human??#yes gaten has referred to his CCD as a disability#as you can see by him being turned down for roles!!!#I love ableism!!!!!!!!!!!!#dustin henderson#s: st#st4 spoilers#i linked to an interview where he refers to it as a disability#just in case ppl get nervous#DISABILITY ISNT A BAD WORD#obviously I'm not counting everyone's PTSD because amazingly the duffers have not approached that topic!!!#not even to give them consistent PTSD symptoms#which is surprising!!!!

Alright hello its me again here to talk about my disabilities and my experience with biggots as a disabled teen ^^
I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrom, autism and chronic pain. Which in itself is a ✨wonderfull✨ mix of disabilities. BUT THATS NOT IT I also have immune system deficiency (*in a southern accent* mah whate cells dont be working real well) and some sort of spasmic bullshit I dont understand and doctors dont either, heres the info we got on it; whenever I feel a strong emotion (ex anxiety/joy) or focus on something too hard my muscles lock up and tense, I dont realize it until one of the following happen; tremors, cramps, limb doesnt respond to nerves, limb does respond to nerves but not to muscle. We believe this spasmic bullshit may also be the thing causing me ✨pain attacks/crisis✨ which basically feels like my nerves are being pulled out through one of my limbs. Its really really painfull, makes me cry everytime and the first time it happened I ✨screamed✨.
I have been suffering from all of that since I was 11 (though CFS came later around when i was 14-15 y/o) and one of the thing that scared and scares me the most still is having to deal with ADULTS who dont believe me when I say I'm disabled because its not visible. I have had teachers in the very beginning forcing me to pick up a pen and write while my right arm was weak enough that I could NOT pick up my own FORK to feed myself. For a few years my mom had to cut my food because I couldnt and people, ADULTS, Teachers, didnt fucking believe me when i said "I'm sorry I cant do this or that", "I cant climb up to the gym because I'm afraid I will pass out from exhaustion". I went through YEARS of physical therapy as a teen only to not be believed that I truly was disabled. Even a DOCTOR believed that the pain I described was impossible and through the whole consultation we were with her fucking made me cry out of pain from the exercise she made me do.
Explain to me how that's normal behavior. I fucking dare you. You dont get to assume what a person went or is going through from how they look. You dont get to call someone, especially a fucking kid, a liar because you dont understand their bloody condition.
You wouldnt go up to someone who told you their dad is dead and say "hey I dont believe your dad is dead. I think youre a liar. And if you don't call your dad right now you're going to be in trouble"
I used to be an extrovert and then i became disabled and I was bullied by my fucking teachers and school nurses and for some reason I became a really anxious and socially awkward introvert. Weird right?
TLDR: Local teen gets angry at adults for causing them social anxiety and insecurity about their disability

all my doctors cant comprehend how i could possibly be happy being disabled. my doctor from the hospital said being on ssi was "throwing my life away". you know whats actually throwing my life away? pretending my goal is neurotypical.

maybe i'm missing something here, but it always confuses me when i see things like "some autistic people are disabled by their autism and some aren't" or "not everyone sees their autism as a disability". because... autism very much is a disability?! if you're autistic, then your symptoms must be present in a way that is disabling to you in your everyday life. it's literally in the diagnostic criteria. of course the extent to and areas in which you're disabled can vary greatly depending on the individual, but disability is part of the basic definition of autism, regardless of your personal feelings on the matter.
don't get me wrong, it's still much better than "autism is only a disability because of capitalism" because at least it doesn't make sweeping generalisations that aren't even remotely accurate to the lived reality of most autistic people. but it still perpetuates incorrect assumptions under the guise of personal choice, and honestly feels like an attempt to distance autism from disability in general. being disabled is nothing to be ashamed of, and i wish people wouldn't twist the meaning of autism to remove disability from it.
(and yes, that goes for level 1/low support needs autistics as well. i would be considered level 1 (though i wasn't diagnosed that way) and i'm still disabled by my autism! not to the same extent as many other people, sure, but i'm still disabled. if i wasn't, i wouldn't be autistic.)
#autism#actually autistic#actuallyautistic#what the hell. i'll put this in the main tags#i just don't understand what personal feelings have to do with this. autism literally *is* a disability thats a fact#(okay obviously the diagnostic criteria were created by humans and humans are fallible etc.#but if we extend the definition of autism so far beyond its original meaning then would autism even be a useful term anymore?)#stuff like this always leaves a bad taste in my mouth because it reeks of internalised ableism#i dont want to tell anyone how to identify. but if youre insisting that your autism isnt a disability even though by its very definition#it is - idk ive been in a similar position in my teens and finally acknowledging that i'm disabled and that doesnt make me any less worthy#as a person has made me more compassionate towards myself and others#it just worries me how autistic people on here are trying to pass off their autism as 'just quirky' or whatever#like if you genuinely are just quirky then thats fine! but if you arent disabled by it then i'm sorry but its not autism#i guess its kinda similar to how i dont *dislike* the word neurodivergent per se. but it sure feels like at least some people are using it#so they dont have to say mentally disabled#disability is not a dirty word

i didnt watch stream today but ive seen twitter talking about it...... i think its really interesting seeing peoples reactions to scar not thinking hes attractive. prefacing this by saying yeah he IS attractive i wont him so bad. but i think a lot of physically disabled people (especially those with visible disabilites, e.g. a wheelchair, a breathing tube) do think of themselves as lesser in a way? especially with the popularity of someone like scar, where people constantly draw a character very similar to you as either not disabled at all or with different, "lesser" aids, such as a cane.
#jasper speaks#hm. not sure about this one. i like theorising about people dont cancel me thankssssssss#also about the last part i dont. know if i worded it properly#i mean like how to weird physically abled people someone in a wheelchair is much more helpless/pitied/less#than someone with a cane#this isnt how i think of it. im just thinking#and obviously theres also the general. low self esteem. popularity and comparing yourself all the time. yk#but i do think there is a whole other part about it for physically disabled people#i might delete this later im still not sure about the last part. im very concerned i worded it reaeaeaeal bad#but i really do think the drawing thing plays a part in it too because like. hes VERY active on twitter. he is known to lurk#in the fandom. he replies to moots tweets regularly.#idk i got bored of tag rambling tldr i think its interesting seeing abled peoples reactions to it#there is absolutely no way to do it but i want like. a poll. i want data for this#but its a little unethical to collect data without permission from all participants...... but its also twitter with is a public site and#by tweeting you are letting your words into public domain or something idk#OK TAGS OVER

amaurot is so cool [turns around and latches the door before anybody can get in from hearing that] too bad people tend to misunderstand whats going on with it and which aspects of it are good and which are not
#also when i call it a utopia im using that word in the literal sense of what the text calls it#i dont personally believe in utopias and amaurot itself literally brings up the argument as well that a true utopia cannot exist#and that a true utopia is a dangerous thing but also. do not ever look up and read an article called like why a utopia cannot exist#becaiuse it brings up some insanely wrong points and not the pure fact that a utopia requires dangerous amount of conformity#and amaurot itself asks well yes theyres good unity but also a pure utopia is kind of bad if theres people with different needs#or a true utopia can only be built catering to one specific type of need and all else are casted as wrong#and isnt that sort of whats happening in now in the state of things [DISABILITY AND MENTAL HEALTH DISCRIMINATION]#nbut thats a whole nother can. and i dont think hermes is autistic so im not bringing that up because of that

Your mental health goes hand in hand with your physical health.
Disabled means disabled.
There shouldn't be so many gatekeepers to that word.
Disabled.
Physical or mental- disability is disability.
#gatekeeping#disabled community#physical and mental health#disabled isnt a bad word#disability#mental health#physical health#stop gatekeeping words and communities you asshats#spoons#im running low on spoons#i will cripple fight you

#online autistic ppl who r do adamant that asd isnt actually a disability and is just an issue under capitalism teehee... tell me youve#never met ppl w asd outside of tumblr and twitter without telling me#its just such a narrow point of view that ignores the real challenges that many members of the community face#ALSO the desire to throw off the label of disability. kinda sus. being disabled is not lesser and is not a bad word ok#source: i have asd and worked w those who have greater support needs not influenced by capitalism#I MEANT ARGUE ADAMANTLY i cant edit tags fuckll

Ok, honestly this wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It’s a little confusing and I am glad that things turned alright in the end. All these kids are fucked over by their home lives but this little octopus somehow managed to achieve his goal in giving them happiness even if it was sorta contrived
Takopii no genzai/Takopi’s Original Sin - 16 chapters
#desiree talks#desiree reads#i really like the ‘final’ words to this manga i think its sweet#anway this isnt the worst case of bullying i read about in a manga#juujika no rokunin is pretty bad#but i still go with save me (not the bts) for the worst bullying - the victim being physically disabled factors into that#and the revenge was so good#but the additional backstory to the main characters at the end really hurts

i've probably mentioned this before but last reblog reminds me of the time i took a sociology course on disability and most students were disabled themselves (including our professor) but the ones who identified themselves as not being disabled would sometimes jump in to correct our terminology? i remember i was talking about my own relationship w disability (using the word "disabled") and someone chimed in like "differently abled:)" and i just wanted to be like Did I Ask.......
#it was so weird. meanwhile prof and other students were like 'disabled isnt a bad word' etc etc etc#if i ever make 50 of the same posts well its because i dont remember so pretend im saying this for the first time

I’ve divided my social media between “run by my NTsona” and “run by the feral gremlim that lives in the back of my synapses’ and tbh its been a game changer for both kinds.
#LinkedIn Acey is serious about work and never in their entire life has written an article on the day of deadline#or while wearing a charmandere kigu#instagram and facebook acey are a bit less peformative/ndsona ish but still#they dont have bad days depresshin isnt a word i use#if i talk about being disbaled its from a 'youre not alone' to other disabled ppl and 'hey im not gonna be ashamed of this' angle but still#p clean like ill talk about adhd time blindness but depressive episodes and spirals when my bpd hulks out nah#i talk about bpd but not My bpd#and its still like 'you dont have to worry about this person'#school event and happy moments and 'look at the shit i did'#tumblr and twitter aksjfadsf if you follow me there im so so sorry but also just know that i trust you with my life lamo#and like it really works on cutting the anxiety tbh bc i Know whos gonna see what and im only sharing what i Want to share if that makes#sense? Well that and yeah I Do mask on the ones that ppl i might work with see but i mean thats more bc Society lke i mask in analog with#them too so#-shrug emoji-
