disabled adults don’t have “the brains of children” they have the brains of adults with disabilities. just because you can’t understand the difference doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist

infantilization of disabled people is not a new concept but it’s fucked up to remove agency and respect for a person on the basis that they are not like you. also, children aren’t stupid, they’re little humans who just don’t have as much experience as adults. that’s the difference. treating someone like they’re an idiot who can’t think for themself because you think their 18+ years of life “don’t count” is degrading and dehumanizing.

you’re not too sensitive. you’re not overreacting. if it hurts you, it hurts you
