Capable Too

* Fail classes * Drop classes * Go to a lower level in class * Fail midterms * Can’t do homework * Have frequent breakdowns because of school * Fail finals * Take summer school * Skip days of school * Fail semesters * Push themselves too hard * Take a gap year * Can’t pay attention in class * Need accommodations * Have low GPAs * Give up trying * Drop out of school * Don’t get accepted into college

Such a great list. Share this with others who might not understand sPD, but want to help you!

It always concerns me when I see disabled folks making posts about able-bodied people parking in handicap spots without mentioning handicap placards.  I feel like this fuels the able-bodied community to feel like they have a right to yell at or leave nasty notes for people who don’t “look” disabled.

So this is your reminder that if someone has a handicap placard, they have already proven their need for accessibility accommodations to their doctor and the government.  Invisible illnesses exist.
