#google search: how do i tell the ADHD specialist he’s being ableist
Text
i know the phrase “normalize ____” is overused but god i wish we would normalize being on medication long-term/for a lifetime.
#if another abled person implies the end goal is to remove medication instead of the end goal being my superior quality of life#i will legitimately lose it#had a meeting with an ADHD SPECIALIST#who implied that hopefully my life-long insomnia will be fixed soon and i can get off those meds#like the goal is to remove medication and the like the goal is not for me to sleep though the fucking night#i’m not sorry me being comfortable with my disability bother you#go to therapy#or get your shit rocked by a disabled person#either option is fine with me but you need one of them#google search: how do i tell the ADHD specialist he’s being ableist#actually disabled#cw ableism#ableism#neisvoid#i have physical disabilities as well so i’m not going to say like ‘you wouldn’t say this about someone on blood pressure meds!’ bc like#obviously they will. and they do#but in the age demographic that most does this to me it is also people on long-term medication#it’s just medication related to ‘aging’ so it’s not as weird i guess??#this specific incident was about my insomnia medication which i’ve taken since i was eight#and the idea that i might have to take it forever sits great with me actually bc it means i’ll be able to sleep for my whole life#but it’s a problem that i was born with and so i’ve had more ppl (even those on long-term meds for things like arthritis or blood pressure)#say shit to me about it#like bc i’m young i need to be fixed#or bc it’s not an age related problem then it can be cured#and it fucking can’t. stop trying to make that the goal#my psychiatrists have said ‘listen if the meds haven’t changed your brain yet. it’s probably not happening’#and that’s fine with me!!#but the fact that that’s fine with me weirds a lot of ppl out#specifically adults in their 40s and up#cripple punk
