FINALLY, someone stands up for that most discriminated against, marginalised group: white, heterosexual, able-bodied men in the entertainment industry. Truly they are the invisible underclass.

"Finding Nemo" and Parenting a Disabled Child
The dad in "Finding Nemo" is a perfect representation of able-bodied and nondisabled parents who have physically disabled kids.
Don't get me wrong. I don't agree with multiple of that movie's casting choices.
But with just how overprotective Marlin is of Nemo. The "don't touch the boat" scene immediately comes to mind.
My mom has been overprotective of me my entire life. It's something many or most (if not all) physically disabled people with able-bodied and/or nondisabled parents experience.
That privilege post that's been going around got me thinking about the Wheel of Power/Privilege. I came across this a few years ago at a workshop for Black LGBT+ educators, where we acknowledged the ways we are marginalised — but also the ways we are privileged.
Reblog this and put in the tags what power/privilege you have according to this wheel:
White
Post-secondary
Able-bodied
Heterosexual
Neurotypical
Robust
Slim
Owns property
Rich
English
Cisgender man
Citizen
Question: when people use the term “abled people”, is that short for “able-bodied people” or just a term for non-disabled (neurotypical and ablebodied) people in general?
PSA: This Disability Pride Month please remember that:
Abled = People who don't have a disability.
Able-bodied = People who don't have a physical disability.
Whenever you talk about disabled people vs able-bodied people, you are automatically excluding neurodivergent people, mentally ill people, and everyone whose disability affects their mind/brain rather than their body.
And this isn't always inappropriate! If you're discussing, say, societal attitudes towards people who use mobility aids, then able-bodied is a fitting term to use.
However, in general posts about disability that don't specifically focus on physically disabled people, please use abled, not able-bodied.

A disabled Bristol artistic performer, who has to lie down at regular intervals because of chronic pain, is trying to teach others how to be more aware of hidden disabilities. Raquel started challenging the etiquette of 'resting' by lying down and demonstrating her disability's access needs in public spaces all over the UK. Following the success of her advocacy work, 'Cloudspotting' became the term used by Raquel to communicate the collective needs of the thousands of people in the UK living in chronic pain who need to lie down and rest at frequent intervals, regardless of whether they are in private or not.

I know, I read the headline too and thought -- what??? but keep reading -- she also created an immersive experience which sounds amazing! The most common thing I hear from our invisible illness community is how it often feels like no one believes them. This artist's project is such a great way to "bridge an understanding between able-bodied audiences and the lived experience of people with ‘hidden’ disabilities."
If you are a warrior of an invisible illness and feel that isolation, we created The Symptoms Log for you. It is a place to write down how your condition affects you personally. How many times did you feel the need to lie down today, this week, this month, this year? What did that mean for you -- like the idea of going to Disneyland is out of the question? The Symptoms Log helps you put your story on paper so you can tell it to yourself and, when you want to, share with your friends, family, and doctor so they can better understand your experience.
