The fuck is up with abled people and thinking that using or having a mobility aid makes us weak? Or that our goal should be to not use them? Why can’t they just accept that using mobility aids is not a bad thing and that we use them because they help and give us more freedom? My mobility aids enable me to do so much more than I can without them and my goal is not to get rid of them or not use them or whatever my goal is to have the ability to do what I want and be independent and not be in excruciating pain. Maybe at some point I wont need my mobility aids but right now I do so idk about other disabled people but stop telling me to try to not use something that makes my quality of life so much better and stop telling me to get better soon I’m just trying my best and the fact people don’t see that is really disheartening just because I don’t fit what someone thinks i should look like or be doing to “get better” doesn’t mean they should feel free to tell me their opinions on my body and what I do to accommodate myself

Honestly this started out as a rant about ableist bullshit regarding mobility aids but it definitely applies to so much else like neurotypicals complaining about how I accommodate my autism and telling me to “just be normal” and other shit like that.

It definitely applies to more than what I’ve said here but goddamn it abled people stop policing disabled bodies and minds, stop trying to control us, stop thinking you know our bodies better than we do

Tl;dr: abled people need to stop with their bullshit and leave disabled people and their tools and accommodations and self accommodations alone. Abled people believe they know our bodies better than we do and that’s simply not true.

If someone is autistic and you make fun of their learning skills may that be

Reading or math or anything because you're mad at them or because they disagree with you

Guess what

✨You're ableist✨

I've had so many people do this to me and then when I call them out they're like " I'M NOT ABLEIST, YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO ATTACK ME!!" like nah you're ableist.. Because you said it because I'm autistic to hurt me..

Loving a chronically ill person only when they're feeling good/ not experiencing symptoms is ableist and fucking horrible because we *do* notice.

Ableist Story Time!

Sooo it was my final day of driver ed, stopped at a red light, all going fine, humming n tapping my fingers, just stimming a bit, only some very minor and infrequent facial tics... I wasnt hardly doing anything "odd", merely not masking. And then the driving instructor asks me "Did you take your medicine today?".

ō_ō

Bitch? What?

1. Thats not something you ask a stranger

2. Her tone was,, idk how to describe but it didnt help make what she said less-ableist-feeling/ less offensive

3. In asking that she was essentially saying "i think youre acting crazy" and/or "you seem unfit to drive because of this behavior" (the behavior was extremely mild and its not her job to decide if my illnesses prevent me from driving or not)

4. I don't take medicine for tourettes or for ASD, so idek what "medicine" she was referring to. She doesn't know me. If I wasn't on any medicine she would essentially be telling a stranger that she thinks they need to be medicated.

In summation, the rest of the drive was not particularly great. As we drove faster and my anxiety worsened my tics too slightly, and knowing that she was judging me for it certainly didn't help me relax. Simply stimming is enough for someone to think someone should be medicated. I spend most of my time with accepting, and usually also ND, people, so this was my first encounter with someone like this in a while. It was a shock to say the least, a shock that people are still so un-understanding.

Feel free to comment or rb your opinions, if I'm overreacting or if you have similar experiences. Personally i think this exchange was ridiculous and embarassing and incasive and abelist.

I'm annoyed how ppl are insistent that socializing is something 100% obligatory & that even if ppl show zero interest in u, you should still force yourself to them.

Why push yourself towards that when you know how it'll go? Sounds illogical to me.

"He was disabled," the able-bodied human wrote, "but he could still love; he could still be human"

*I wonder why no one likes my stories of disabled people... oh I know!*

"Their relationship was fractured and they loved each other less, because he's a (insert slur) now but they're growing. She no longer strands him without his mobility aid when they fight and instead takes his communication cards. "

They stand and leave their desk

*ahh romance*

it's hilarious that once r/fakedisordercringe git popular, every edgelord who wanted an excuse to be ableist proceeded to into spaces for disabled people just to speak over disabled people, and tried to gaslight everyone into thinking it was "for their own good"

Had a group of teens laugh at and make fun of me for walking with my cane today. Wtf y’all wtf.

Is decency not a thing? Is kindness non existent? I am just a person and sure I use a mobility aid but goddamnit that doesn’t mean you cam/should laugh or make fun of me or any other disabled person for how they walk or behave and what not

Oh of course. You don't even live in reality, what did I expect from someone who's essentially mentally challenged?

Did you not see the overwhelming response to Chris Chan? This man (yes, MAN, I don't give a fuck about all this retarded gender snowflake bullshit) was a sex offender in the making and nobody could see that, because "oh, it's just the trolls making him do that" and "oh, he just doesn't get social cues". Even after he RAPED HIS MOTHER, they still forgive him. If any normal man were to do half the shit he pulled, he would be in PRISON.

Again, anybody can do bad things. You want the whole autistic community to suffer the consequences for one persons disgusting actions? What is your goal here? Do you want me to apologize for being autistic? You want me to magically NOT be autistic? You want all autistics killed or something? Why are you attacking me, a stranger, over the actions of a completely different stranger. Are you a man? Should I also hold you accountable for every wrongdoing any man has ever committed? In that case everyone is a rapist. Everyone is a murderer. We all suck because someone somewhere with something in common to us sucks. What do you want?

A girl with schizoid personality disorder stabbed her teacher in my country. Now the politicians are looking into making mentally ill people disclose their conditions to learning facilities.

I don't know, but whenever my mom used to go to school to talk about accommodations for me because if my mental illness, the teachers would treat me differently. The puppy/child voice, constant touching and asking "how are you doing?" Just struck me as insensitive and insincere.

Thinking of countless kids experiencing the same treatment, my blood boils. Nobody knows how to actually help us. Nobody knows how to actually treat us.

things about accessibility that i did not notice until i became a caregiver:

businesses internally blocking access points, exits, checkout counter, and making passage and movement impossible to navigate. i.e., leaving step ladders partially blocking an aisle that "people can just walk around".

restaurants playing music very loudly, too loudly to hear some disabled people speak (some people cannot yell due to their disability), and triggering people with sound anxiety / sensory issues. bonus points: "sorry, we cant turn down the volume" 😒

able-bodied people invading a disabled person's space, touching them, their mobility aids and assistive devices without asking for permission

people ignoring disabled people who are able to speak or communicate, and instead, ignoring them in favor of speaking to the caregiver. "what would he like to eat?" idk, why dont you ask him

shops with so much clutter they build narrow corridors through their building, out of shelving and junk, preventing access for people with mobility aids. "im sure you can squeeze through!" please, in person, look at how big mobility aids are, im begging you

drivers cutting off medical transports, endangering everyone in the vehicle because they're in a hurry / cant miss their turn! / #1 on the road syndrome

buildings with non-working elevators and a "just take the stairs" mentality. "sorry we havent gotten around to fixing the elevator for a while haha" that excuse doesnt fly when people get assessed no-show fees for appointments

ive caught many overt things before i entered caregiving, such as a step needing to be taken to enter an establishment, people staring rudely at disabled folks, etc. but since starting caregiving, there were so many more subtle things that i did not know about. and the more i learn, the angrier i get.
