YES THIS i was misdiagnosed with BPD (not to mention by a psych i talked to for only ~15 mins total) and it was only ever used against me. my family would use it to call my relationship issues "self sabatoge", my meltdowns "abusive", and my struggle with speaking "manipulation". i have So Much love for pwBPD and personality disorders in general. they deal with so much stigma on top of already very painful symptomology, and my heart goes out to anyone who has or is currently facing discrimination for their diagnosis.

late/self diagnosed autistics, reblog with what you were misdiagnosed with.

“are you afab or amab” “are you tme or tma” do you guys remember the era of the internet where one of the biggest queer memes was about not telling people what the fuck is in your pants because it’s no one’s fucking business. can we PLEASE go back to that.

I am once again asking the autistic community stop punching down on autistic people they’ve been taught to view as “stereotypes.”

I’m talking about nonspeaking autistics.  About autistic people who need full-time support.  About asexual and aromantic autistics.  Autistics who don’t want a lot of friends.  Unemployed autistics.  Autistics who were/are in special ed.  Intellectually disabled autistics.  Autistic adults who live with other family members.  Autistics whose meltdowns aren’t “subtle.”  Autistics who injure themselves.  Multiply disabled autistics.  Autistic shut-ins and agoraphobes.

We are all just as deserving of respect and dignity as former gifted kid autistics who still do everything they can to distance themselves from us even as they preach acceptance.

Let’s talk about cripple punk. All I see are people trying to use the word cripple, but not paying attention to what cripple punk actually means.

It was created on here, in 2014 by Tyler Trewhella.

Edit: “It challenges the idea that people with disabilities need to appear morally good to deserve the absolute bare minimum support of ableds”— that we have to exist as submissive and let everyone look down on us in one way or another. It’s about the concept that we don’t have to look a certain way or act a certain way to be valued as a disabled person. We don’t have to conform to the innocent disabled person who can do no wrong, and might as well be considered a godsend child at that point.

It advocates for cripples who don’t allow ableds to try to harm us, who aren’t polite, and who will take your knees (oh it’s me) if you’re being an ableist piece of shit, who take drugs and exist in a body or life outside of society’s standards. It’s demanding disabled people, no matter the disabilities, be treated as humans, not an angelic inspiration.

Cripple punk is so much more than just applying a label to yourself.

i dont understand why my friends ask me to do those little normal people tasks that are obviously so much easier for them. like. how are you aware that im in pain every second in every area of my body, that every single movement hurts, and that every time i have to hold myself up it drains so much of my energy, yet youre still asking me to go turn the light off or open the blinds??? the lack of consideration is astounding. sure, maybe i am capable of hobbling over and handing you the scissors. but IT FUCKING HURTS. and YOU KNOW IT HURTS. i just cannot fucking wrap my head around why a Friend would make me put myself in more pain than i am already in. simply out of convienience, or because they "dont feel like moving".
