hey now that it’s disability pride month can you please remember to include people with Down syndrome and other chromosomal defects into your activism. they’re so often left behind. I literally never see anyone spreading Down syndrome awareness that isn’t close family of someone with Down syndrome. They exist and they’re living breathing humans who deserve just as much activism as every other disabled person

fuck it. shout out to "high functioning" neurodivergents
the ones who can mask easily, the ones who can get social cues, the ones who have managed to go most of their life not even knowing they were ND because they didn't present as the stereotypical ND person.
the ones who can pay attention in class, understand social etiquette, who understand societial expectations
the ones who don't feel neurodivergent enough bc they don't struggle in the same ways/areas a lot of NDs do, or they can't relate to other NDs' experiences because they always understood these things easily
the ones with high empathy, the ones who DO get the joke, the ones who are constantly told that they can't possibly be neurodivergent because they don't act like what you'd expect a neurodivergent person to act like.
you are neurodivergent enough. you are valid, and so are your experiences. not struggling as much as others do in some places doesn't mean you dont struggle at all. your condition and diagnosis is valid. your symptoms are valid. YOU ARE VALID. not checking all the supposed boxes doesn't mean you aren't neurodivergent. you are enough. you are valid. you are loved. you are valued. you matter. you belong in neurodivergent spaces, you deserve to use whatever resources are available to you, you are allowed to take up space in these communities. and i am so, so proud of you.
feel free to, and actually, i encourage you to reblog this with your experiences. we belong in this community as much as anyone else. please also tag this w/ any neurodivergent conditions i may have forgotten 💙
since this is getting lots of notes I'd like to add, even if you're undiagnosed or maybe self diagnosed, for whatever reason, (i.e. can't get access to a diagnosis, not being taken seriously, or just not wanting an official diagnosis, etc.) this still applies to you. actually especially to you folks. don't think for a second you're not valid just bc you don't have the paperwork or whatever to say it

As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:
People with Down syndrome
People with Fragile X
People with William’s syndrome
People with dyslexia
People with dyspraxia
People with dyscalculia
People with dysgraphia
People with Prader-Willi syndrome
People with PANS or PANDAS
People with aphasia
People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)
People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses
People with cerebral palsy
People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero
And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)
You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.
I love you all ❤️

being disabled has an affect on the social life that not many people are willing to discuss . the reality is, being disabled means missing out on a lot. the queer bar you think everyone should go to isnt accessible. nobody in your towns high school was willing to talk to the only kid with down syndrome there. not all autistic people were accepted enough to be social in the first place, much less doing drugs and having sex.
there are so many experiences to miss out on

Where are all the "slow" kids, the challenged kids, the burnouts from birth, the burden to have in class? Where are the autists who can't mask, who self harm, who are loud and can't stop stimming? The NDs with processing disorders, brain damage, brain fog? The ones with down syndrome, FAS, and other conditions that people treat like curses or defects. I hardly ever see them past 18 and I know they don't just dissolve once they become adults.

shoutout to slow learners. shoutout to people who take a very long time to parse and grasp new concepts. shoutout to people who struggle to follow directions. shoutout to people who can't perform a task just after watching someone else do it. shoutout to everyone who needs learning aids, needs to take notes, needs to try multiple times, and needs to be told the explanation repeatedly.
you're not dumb. you're not lesser. you're not doing it on purpose. everyone learns at their own pace, and people forcing you to learn faster than you can are the ones causing a disruption in your ability to learn. it's not your fault.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day !!!
People with Down Syndrome are an irreplaceable part of the disability and neurodivergent communities, and we need to do a better job at including them! Don't forget about them in your activism!

Nahezu jeder Mensch mit Trisomie 21 erkrankt an Alzheimer, die meisten von ihnen sterben an dieser »genetischen Form der Demenz«. Die fatale Verbindung liefert Hinweise auf die Entstehung des altersbedingten Hirnabbaus.
»Die nächste Bushaltestelle ist da vorne!« Der Satz geht Rolf Brederlow nicht mehr aus dem Kopf. Er wiederholt ihn immer und immer wieder. Es sind die ersten Worte, die Bobby, wie ihn alle nennen, in eine Kamera spricht. Und es ist der Anfang einer besonderen Schauspielerkarriere. 1999 übernimmt er seine erste größere Rolle in dem Vierteiler »Liebe und weitere Katastrophen«. Im selben Jahr wird er dafür mit dem Bambi ausgezeichnet. In dem autobiografischen Film »Bobby« spielt er sich selbst: einen Mann mit einem Down-Syndrom.
Die menschliche DNA, der Bauplan unseres Körpers, ist im Zellkern auf 23 Chromosomenpaare aufgeteilt. Jedes Paar enthält zur Hälfte das Erbgut der Mutter und das des Vaters. Bei Menschen wie Bobby hat aber eines der Elternteile zwei Kopien des 21. Chromosoms weitergegeben. In ihren Zellen gibt es somit drei statt zwei Exemplare davon, man spricht auch von einer Trisomie 21 (siehe »Down-Syndrom oder Trisomie 21?«). Diese häufigste aller Chromosomenanomalien betrifft in Europa eines von 1000 geborenen Babys. Es wären doppelt so viele, würde nicht bei Vorliegen einer Trisomie 21 jede zweite Schwangerschaft abgebrochen. Einer Schätzung der Dutch Down Syndrome Foundation aus dem Jahr 2021 zufolge leben knapp eine halbe Million Menschen mit einem Down-Syndrom in Europa, über 50 000 davon in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz.
