Disabled is not a bad word. I’m disabled and I’m fucking proud of it.

Im so fucking sick and tired of able bodied people pretending to be allies when they don’t actually listen to us.

Stop calling us “differently abled” or saying “don’t talk about yourself like that, you can do anything!” When we tell you we have disabilities.

It doesn’t help. It fucking hurts.

Being disabled doesn’t mean that I think less of myself, or that I can’t do certain things. When you say “don’t talk like that, you have so much potential” when I tell you I’m disabled it shows me that you don’t think disabled people have potential.

I can be fucking extraordinary AND disabled. I do not need to pretend I don’t have a disability to feel happy.

On one hand I’m so happy disabilities are more cared about and seen by people nowadays, but “allies” that say shit like that get more traction than people with actual disabilities, and able bodied people pretend to care when they actively say demeaning things about disabled people.

Sorry for today’s rant but ugh if I hear one more “don’t say that you can be anything!” When I tell someone I’m disabled I’m going to bitchslap them

"You're making autism your whole personality but you shouldn't, you're not your autism !"

Listen. When I was diagnosed I found out EVERYTHING I thought was my "personality" were actually autistic traits and it messed me up so bad because I didn't know who I was anymore. Literally EVERY. SINGLE. Thing I ever did or thought was actually autism. Then I realized hey, if all of my personality is "just autism", that means all of neurotypicals' personalities are also "just neurotypicality". Actually I can even observe it now that I know all of the traits and it's very obvious ! But neurotypicals are considered the norm, so they don't have to analyze it so they don't know.

My autism is my whole personality the same way your neurotypicality is your whole personality, you just never had to acknowledge it unlike me

Disabled people have worth.

Human beings have worth because we are human beings.

Disabled people who are unemployed, who are on disability benefits, who require caregivers, who are dependent on family members, have worth.
