How can chronic pain patients be “addicted to pain meds?” That’s like telling someone with a prosthetic that they’re addicted to their prosthetic. Or a cardio patient that they’re addicted to their pacemaker. Or a diabetic that they’re addicted to insulin. What is the thought process here?

idk who needs to hear this this month but

legal definitions of disabillty will not be our liberation

diagnoses will not be our liberation

people whose disabilities aren't legally or medically recognised need liberation too and that liberation will not come from doctors & governments.

Stop saying “disabled or chronically ill” and all other variations of it.

Chronic illnesses are disabilities.

What are you even defining disability as if you are not including chronic illness.

Stop.

Disabled people know some folks regard us as acceptable collateral damage in the fight to keep your lives as you like them. We see the way we get killed in wars because we can't leave our homes. We see the way war makes more of us every day. We see how climate change drowns us and dehydrates us. We see how pandemics reiterate the truth you don't want us to hear out loud - better dead than disabled, have an automatic DNR

We see how your jetfuel and petrochemical emissions and smog poisons lungs already struggling to breathe. We see you, and part of us laughs because soon, you will know too. It will come upon you and many of you may beg to avoid such humiliation, such loss.

And we will strive to be kind. Kind because you will not, cannot embrace a disabled life as just as good as a nondisabled life. Cannot face what that would mean, if that were true.

But amongst ourselves we'll call you cowards. Be sure of that.

last friday I got sick from video class. Today I got sick at the museum.

Art people/institutions: please put seizure warnings on your videos! Not just the ones with flashy lights or many colours. Also the ones with shaky cameras or immersive technology. Find a way to check if they trigger seizures and motion sickness! Test them out in advance! Maybe find some people who can pre-view and give you feedback regarding this issue!

Honestly, seizure screening would be a job I'd sign up for, if it could prevent others from getting triggered. I can't tell you how often I had to walk out of a museum or gallery feeling nauseous, it just ruins the experience :(

Any other crips or autistic people genuinely unable to carry out a social life? Like I just don’t have the spoons or interests to hang out with my old friends anymore. I’m tired of feeling like a bitch for it, I just don’t care and I’m done doing things for the sake of abled, neurotypical society.

Cripplequeer Pride Flag

Cripplequeer: a term for and by physically disabled people who either feel their disability is inherenty queer or them being disabled affects their queerness.

Queer: a politicized umbrella term for people LGBTIQQAA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Agender+) spectrum people.

Crip: Short for cripple and reclaimed by physically disabled folx. A politicized umbrella term for people with physical disabilities/disorders. Much like you can “come out” as queer, you can also “come out” as crip. Even if you have an obvious/visible disability, you may not identify as crip, just like gay or lesbian people may not identify as queer.

QueerCrip: A politicized umbrella term that encompasses queer, gender nonconforming identities, apparent and non apparent disabilities/disorders—physical, psychological, intellectual, developmental, emotional, etc.

there's this AuDHD person on instagram who gets a lot of hate from people saying they're faking their autism.

one of the reasons these people brought up is that they wear noise cancelling headphones in their own apartment, when real autistic people would only wear them outside.

i mean, this is already so obviously bullshit because people of every neurotype already wear noise cancelling headphones at home. plus, the commenters don't actually know that this person also isn't wearing them in public. they just think they're "too sensitive" for needing them in their own house.

but as a vision impaired autist, there's an extra layer for me.

i exclusively wear my noise cancelling headphones inside my house. i do not wear them in public, no matter how loud it is.

you wanna know why?

it does not feel safe.

noise cancelling headphones cancel out much of the sound that i need to hear when i go out in public to be able to tell where a car or a person is coming from or how far away they are from me.

the only place i would even remotely feel safe wearing noise cancelling headphones outside is in the small village i grew up. but even there i get so paranoid about cars because i'm traumatised.

i fucking wish i could drown out the noise while still being able to rely on my hearing but i can't.

it's either safety and potential sensory overload or sensory comfort and potential danger.

both decisions are valid but i choose safety.

so that pretty much does leave me only wearing my noise cancelling headphones in my own house. but it helps. i don't even live in the loudest area and i have really quiet neighbours but after a long day in public or at a family gathering or something and not being able to drown out anything, the smallest thing at home could send me into a meltdown.

do these people really need us to go outside with noise cancelling headphones even though it might be unsafe just to prove we're real autists?

bitch, i already get so disoriented when it's windy because all the sounds suddenly sound weird. i'm not doing that, lmao.

Mobility aid advice wanted.

________

Tl;dr: chronic pain in both legs, currently a cane user but supporting one side is not always enough, also have chronic pain in both shoulders and can’t put work on them.

________

I have chronic pain in both my knee areas, plus some other weird leg stuff.

I currently use a cane, alternating between which side currently hurts more. But sometimes they both hurt too strongly, and sometimes I even actually have to put more weight on the leg that currently hurts more because something else makes walking with more weight on the leg that currently hurts less harder.

I also have chronic pain in both of my shoulders. I can’t use the grater, for example, recently stopped cutting vegetables for food prep too because pain. So I’ve known for many years that if I ever need a wheelchair, I’ll need a powerchair, because I won’t be able to self-propel on the manual. Several months ago I had an acute illness that made my leg pain much worse, I was very barely able to walk, and the force I had to put on my shoulders at the side holding the cane gave me so much shoulder pain. For what this post is about I was thinking about forearm crutches, but realized they might put the load on the shoulders too.
