Disability benefits shouldn’t be tied to the income of a disabled person’s partner/spouse/parent.

Do you hear me?

DISABILITY BENEFITS SHOULDN’T BE TIED TO THE INCOME OF A DISABLED PERSON’S PARTNER/SPOUSE/PARENT.

This is the straight forward way to deprive a disabled person of their financial freedom and independence and trap them into possible abusive relationships.

yes you support disabled and mentally ill people with nasty, mean, ugly, or otherwise "bad" symptoms. but are you normal about physically chronically ill people who's physical condition directly impacts their behavior and psychiatric condition? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who literally cannot repress, hold back, or regulate aggression, mean statements, or anger/rage episodes? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who legitimately cannot regulate any strong emotion whatsoever? are you normal about physically chronically ill people who have "bad" behaviors that would be unreasonable, cruel and unfair to "punish" because it's the almost equivalent to punishing them for something like having pain? are you normal about people like us? we exist.

THIS IS ABOUT PHYSICAL, CHRONIC ILLNESS, NOT SOLELY MENTAL ILLNESS. IF WE SEE YOU DERAILING MY POST YOU WILL EXPLODE INTO A TRILLION PIECES.

#⚠️ steven yaps #⚠️ this is about PANS/PANDAS/BGE/AE and other AEs but if you arent in this and this applies to your condition you are allowed to relate #⚠️ otherwise do not derail. this is not about solely being mentally ill #cripplepunk #crip punk #cpunk #physically disabled #physical disability #chronic illness #bge #inflammatory basal ganglia encephalitis #basal ganlia encephalitis #brain damage #brain damaged #autoimmune encephalitis #AE #PANS/PANDAS #PANS #PANDAS #PANDAS disorder #PANDAS syndrome #PANS syndrome #autoimmune disease #autoimmune disorder #pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections #pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome #⚠️ throwing this into the did tags for reach bc we also have did lmao #did system

for disabled & neurodivergent folks who struggle with staying hydrated, Jelly Drops might be a good option for you

originally designed for the inventor's grandmother who struggled with hydration, these have become very popular with dementia and alzheimer's patients, as well as the elderly. while this tends to be the primary advertising market for these, i believe these can significantly help a lot of disabled people and neurodivergent people, especially people who struggle with being able to tell when they need fluids.

they are made of 95% water, sugar-free (though they due use sucralose so be cautious if that is not good for you), and contain 6 different electrolytes in each drop. they also have different flavors which can help if you don't like plain water. obviously these are not intended to replace drinking water/liquids, but can give you a boost if struggle to drink plain water, or struggle with being able to tell when you are thirsty, or even folks who become too depressed to get adequate liquid intake.

the website also has Canadian and UK versions as well, they can be accessed in the upper right corner of the website.

You know, I was feeling kind of down about moving from a cane to cuff crutches, but I'm kind of excited about it now. They're supposed to arrive later this evening, and I'm stoked. I'm gonna be so fucking mobile!

When I say “school should be disability accessible”, I don’t just mean we need handicap rails and EAs. Kids should be able to miss a day without failing out of school. You shouldn’t be dismissed from clubs because your attendance record is “spotty” (true story). I once missed an entire week of school because of a terrible, unending migraine. I was expected to keep up with my studies despite the blinding pain that came with working on my computer. When I heard my teachers say that you couldn’t miss exams, I asked what I would have to do to be excused from them. Their response? “Either get a doctor’s note an hour before the exam or death of an immediate family member.”

I cannot express how rigid this expectation was. First of all, with my condition, I wouldn’t have enough warning about my sickness to go to the doctor and request a note. For many people, this is exceptionally difficult, especially with the current shortage of medical professionals. Next, it ignores the fact that my schedule may not line with theirs because of my medical needs. Once, I had to visit a hospital a province away (which I was on the waiting list of for over a year) on the same day as an exam. I begged my mother not to take me because I was so nervous that I would be marked as an automatic fail. I was lucky enough to make it work, but that’s only because of my spectacular support system consisting of family members and wonderful doctors.

Disabilities aren’t always about needing a bus that can accommodate wheelchairs. It’s already difficult enough for many of us to maintain school attendance without the harsh punishments involved for skipping a day. We need to be able to miss school without being punished. Only than can you claim that the school is “accessible”

when the “10 tips on how to make showering easy for disabled people” list doesn’t include a shower chair or a shower/changing table or grab bars etc, i know they don’t care about us physically disabled people.

good for u that turning off the lights and lighting a scented candle instead and listening to music or put on a show and using a bath bomb etc etc helps u but like none of those tips are that beneficial for physically disabled ppl specifically.

it’s good that those tips are there but for once we’d love to be included.

do able-bodied people not understand that if disabled people call out of work every time they don't feel good that we would call out of work every fucking day?

like honestly. what do you think being disabled means?

idk who popularised the narrative "i don't let my disability stop me" but it needs to be stomped on, pulverised by a meat grinder and then thrown into the depths of the sea never to be seen again.

it is by far the most popular ableist narrative and i see it so much and immediately just think i'm a bad person for not being able to 'get over' my disability despite the fact it's an incurable, permanent and severely disabling disability.

stop stop stop stop pushing the mindset that people have to persevere despite their disabilities in order to be a worthy person

leave me alone and let me be disabled in peace

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until they complain about their disability

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until they need to slow down for them

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until their mobility aids are loud

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until their mobility aids fall

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until they cancel plans due to their disability

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until they need to hold something for them

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until they need to open a door for them

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until they can't go somewhere because it's not accessible

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until their disability is inconvenient

Everyone is fine with having a disabled friend until their disability impacts them.

here's to all the little sacrifices we have to make as disabled people.

here's to skipping a friend's party because you were in too much pain, or because you had no energy.

here's to dropping out of clubs because they became too much for you.

here's to all the times we've said "no it's okay, you guys go ahead, i'll hang back here."

here's to all the things we've held ourselves back from just in case they hurt us.

here's to moving seats in class away from your friends because your back was getting a draft and the cold hurts you.

here's to us. here's to letting ourselves heal. here's to being cautious, being safe.

here's to the things we can do. the things we're allowed to do. here's to enjoying those things, enjoying our lives.

here's to making the most of being us.

i wanna say fuck you to anyone who shame disabled, chronically ill & neurodivergent people, especially homebound folks, for "spending too much time on their phone/on the internet/etc." when it's the only (Somewhat) accessible way for them to experience the world. many people don't get to get out much even if they want to because of their disabilities. shaming someone for trying to connect with the world, make friends and engage with hobbies in ways that are accessible to them is beyond cruel and unnecessary

You say you’re punk but are you normal about it when someone asks you to wear a mask?

You say you’re anti-establishment but are you normal about self-diagnosis?

You say you’re an ally to neurodivergent people but are you normal about people with personality disorders? People with low/no empathy? Are you normal about psychotic people?

If you read this post and think it’s ‘anti-mask,’ go back and re-read. Then ask yourself: why would someone who is against wearing a mask ask people to wear masks?
