anyone can interact with this post; able-bodied people should take a deep breath and count to ten before adding commentary
hey little language PSA for neurodivergent folks:
“abled” is a term derived from the term “able-bodied,” not “nondisabled.”
while “abled” may often be used as a synonym for nondisabled, it originates as and is also used to refer to able-bodied people.
when a disabled-bodied person refers to abled neurodivergent people, they are not saying those people are nondisabled. they’re saying they’re able-bodied.
this is also the origin of the #AbledsAreWeird tag—it’s meant to refer to ableism against the bodily disabled. i’m not here to gatekeep the tag, and i couldn’t if i tried.
but i am saying if you go in that tag and complain that neurodivergent people are mentioned, you’re encroaching on a disabled-bodied safer space to whine about their problems, and that’s not cool.
cripples started the [american] disability rights movement. a lot of terms around disabled people & rights are our terms, and might not make sense for disabled non-crips.
that’s fine. i’m not saying you have to call yourself abled, or that using abled to mean non-disabled is wrong.
i’m just saying that when cripples (who, for the record, are almost if not always neurodivergent too) use “abled” in a way that includes ND folks, it’s not a personal or ableist attack on you. it’s quite literally the language of our liberation, and attacking cripples over it is ableist.
