shout out to “gross” disabled people.

people who can’t shower/bathe people who can’t shave people who can’t wash their clothes people who need help going to the bathroom people who have nasty habits (biting nails, picking nose, etc) people who can’t brush their teeth people who can’t go to the doctor people who can’t clean their room people who can’t make their beds people who vomit a lot people who wet the bed people who constantly have diarrhea people who’s physical deformities are seen as repulsive

and every other kind of person I missed that deserves to be here too.

you are people, first and foremost. your thoughts deserve to be heard, discussed, acknowledged, no matter what. you are not lesser. you are just another person. you should never be ignored for what you can/can’t do. you deserve care.

to abled people: check yourself. make sure you listen. and you can reblog, just don’t derail. maybe don’t add on, either.

EDIT: reblog this version instead, please.

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but it’s normal and okay to be DISABLED by your DISABILITY.

Sometimes it is going to stop you from doing things, and that’s okay. Sometimes it’s going to get in your way or make you struggle or cause problems in your life. But that’s okay, that’s why it’s called a disability.

You don’t need to fight yourself or “not let it hold you back” because a lot of times it will, but that’s the point.

big shoutout to disabled people who smell bad. disabled people who cannot shower regularly. disabled people who sweat a lot and it causes them to smell bad. disabled people who cannot apply deodorant due to mobility restrictions. disabled people who cannot do laundry regularly or at all, and end up wearing dirty clothes for a long time. disabled people who cannot clean their living space, and thus end up smelling bad themselves. disabled people who have any condition or disability that causes body odor. and any other disabled people who smell bad for reasons i didn't mention. i see you and i love you.

(this post is for all disabled people, including mental and physical disabilities)

Offense intended, but I really don't have the patience to deal with disabled adults who think, "Oh, if only my disability was (physical, or visible, or more severe) then I would be taken seriously!"

No, you wouldn't. And you would know that if you spent any time around the people you think have it better than you.

People don't take mental disabilities seriously, but that does not mean they take physical disabilities seriously. Yes, being invisible means people don't believe you but if your disabilities are visible then people will either think you are faking, publicly harass you, or both. And having more severe disabilities makes your life harder, I really should not have to explain this one, honestly, what is wrong with you?

The fewer accommodations you need, the less visible you are, and the more independent you are, the better off you will be compared to other disabled people.

Spend time in communities made of people with disabilities that you don't have and learn from them. Maybe then you will shed the mentality you got from abled people who think life is so much easier for those privileged disableds.

Currently waiting for people to realise that yes, the autistic teens, kids, adults and elders who are always swarmed by aids, cannot speak, lash out, have limited speech, act “dumb”, run away into dangerous places (eg. Roads, pools ect.) when overwhelmed, are similar to the autistic stereotype or in general don’t act in a “civilised manner”

Have access to the internet

They are on tumblr

We are on tumblr

And we don’t appreciate being your punching bag, being excluded from conversations about accessibility, or used as a tool by high functioning autistics who want to say “oh look at me I’m not like the autistics who bite people or make weird sounds in public or need support, I’m just unique and have fun interests.”

We are real people and we are smarter then you think.

Edit: thanks to the people who pointed out that smart wasn’t the right word! So I’m going to add this: the opinions of me, a low functioning autistic who has the privilege to be able to write coherently and communicate my opinions and views in two different languages, holds the exact same weight as someone who cannot do any of those things and in fact sometimes it’s their opinion and views that matter more. The opinion of “smart” autistics matters just as much as the opinion of “non smart” autistics and people you would consider dumb. Lower functioning autistics who are not conventionally or, at all, “smart” are just as human, important and valuable and deserve to have their opinions taken into consideration just as much as I do writing this. You don’t loose your value as a human or as a disabled person when you aren’t smart.

you’re still disabled even if your disability doesn’t directly affect you 100% of the time btw. it’s still affecting you in the long run. it’s still keeping you from doing things. you’re not “not disabled enough” just because your pain isn’t constant. a disability is a disability and there’s no such thing as not sick enough.

you’re only in a significant amount of pain for like 2 to 3 days a month but when it does affect you you can barely leave your bed even with painkillers? still disabled

you can get things done sometimes and aren’t in a constant state of inactivity because of your executive dysfunction? still disabled

again: a disability is a disability and there’s no such thing as not sick enough. you do belong here.

If you see a product and think it is useless, it is not made for you.

too many people don't understand this. they see accessibility products and call them useless because they can just do that without the tool, can't they? when the item in question was made for disabled people. if you see a product and think it is useless, it is not made for you.

here’s to disabled people who can’t speak/struggle to speak. wether it be a physical thing, mental thing, or both, it’s okay. you’re not any less a person for it.

Dear parents & caretakers of disabled kids: stop treating your kid like their disability is more of a burden on you than it is on them. It isn't, and never will be.

"why don't you have a job?"

i can't find one that will hire/accommodate me or that i qualify for, bc i'm disabled.

"be a cashier!"

requires long hours of standing, which i can't do, or has a physical requirement of being able to lift 40+ lbs from the floor to above shoulder level, which i also can't do. some companies go so far as to expressly state that reading body language is required for this position, which i am very bad at.

"well you could buss tables!"

long hours of standing, a lot of walking, bending, lifting, carrying, all of which i am not capable of doing for extended periods of time.

"just work from home!"

doing what? it hurts to type, i have a hell of a time trying to figure out new software, no one in any work from home job i've ever done has communicated adequately which always results in me being in trouble, sitting for too long is painful.

"walk dogs or smth!"

again: can't do long walks. also, can't be reliable bc of flare ups and such (which applies to all of these, really).

"start your own business!"

with what money? with what product? art? can't consistently do it. music? not that either. sewing crocheting scrapbooking writing? nope nope nope nope. plus, i struggle so hard w/execution dysfunction that one of three things would happen: 1) i would make and create and package and send and nothing else ever. or 2) i would do unrelated stuff that needs to be done and never create or package or ship. or finally 3) i would never do anything ever bc brain refuses to cooperate and all the tasks are overwhelming.

"idk, be a crossing gaurd or smth!"

see previous statements.

"collect shopping carts!"

see previous statements.

"post office!"

see previous statements.

"electrician, plumber, hvac!"

see previous statements.

Being neurodivergent is truly so inconvenient. We need to talk about that more. I had the whooole last half of last week and this whooole weekend to do nothing but study for my big exam on Thursday. I have not even yet managed to finish the remaining 15 pages of one of the texts. And the worst thing is, I don't feel like doing anything else either!! It's not like I desperately need to draw, it's not like I desperately want to play a game, or watch a specific tv show or read a specific comic. No, nope. I'm just absolutely unable to do the ONE thing I had planned my whole time to do - to study about a topic I'm EXTREMELY passionate about and know WHY it's important that I do so - and when I try to push through it I fall fucking asleep! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!! So I end up losing hours and hours on social media, and now executive dysfunction is screwing me all over, I'm taking my meds super late and waking up super late, and the whole day ends up being a mess!!

"We all have the same 24 hours on the day" you speak for your abled self, I barely get 10 these days!

Friendly reminder that before diagnosis my disability, neurodivergence, or my mental illness were just as real as after diagnosis.

No diagnosis ≠ faking

You have to have the symptoms and show the signs to even be diagnosed in the first place!

I don't know which neurotypical person needs to hear this, but did you know that when a neurodivergent person says "I don't understand", "I don't know", or "I don't get it", instead of making fun of them or putting them down, you can simply just explain to them.

[Edit: I no longer stand by this post. You can look at my later comments on it here to see why.]

What the hell is it with some hearing people with auditory processing disorder claiming that it makes them deaf/HoH?

I mean the issues with that idea seem so obvious on its face that no one should be able to make this mistake, or at least should be able to see the error once it has been pointed out.

You can be both but having auditory processing disorder in no way makes you deaf/HoH.

Trust me, I know that audio processing disorder is a disability, but that does not make that claim any less ableist.

I would like to think that none of these people have ever interacted with a deaf/HoH person, but I know better than to think that.
