Since it is Disability Pride Month, let's talk about disabled aspecs. Aspecs who would prefer a solitary lifestyle but require caretakers. Aspecs who cannot live alone on what their benefits provide. Aspecs who, due to the ableism of society, are constantly prevented from living a single life. Aspecs who struggle with sexuality, sexual positions or libido due to disability. Aspecs who are tired with their labels being attributed to their disabilities. Aspecs who DO identify as aspec because they're disabled. Aspecs with screen readers locked out of community resources, aspecs who can't get into buildings for meetups because of inaccessible architecture. Aspecs who can't meet other aspecs in real life because of their conditions. Any aspec that can't fit the able-bodied mold and feels unseen and unsupported.
I wish you a safe and peaceful Disability Pride Month, whether you can find pride in your condition or not. Your aspec perspective and identity is valued, needed, and respected here, and I hope soon it will be respected everywhere.
