#ableist positivity

If you truly suffer from an illness and someone else “suffers” from it too, but your symptoms and reactions are different, don’t worry! They’re probably lying or wrong and don’t also have the illness you do. Because there is only one way to suffer and it’s your way.

Make sure to watch anyone in a wheelchair for any signs of moving their lower extremities. If you see a wheelchair user so much as twitch a toe, don’t be afraid to call them out!

And always remember: You. Are. Valid.

If you’re a parent of a disabled child who gets called out for being ableist. You. Are. Valid. And also? Totes not ableist. Your kid is disabled and you probably don’t even abuse them.

Look nobody is saying being disabled is easy, but won't you consider how extra hard it is for their family members to have to deal with them?

Parents of disabled children have every right to talk over disabled people and negate their experiences. Who else would know more about disability and ableism than a person who watched someone else experience it?

May is Mental Health Month. When is Mentally Healthy Month!? Won’t somebody think of the neurotypicals?
