I wanna talk about being learning disabled and not have people tell me I’m “basically not disabled” because I have learned how to fit your expectations of academic success. I want to talk about having anxiety which causses me to have horrible psychosomatic pain without people telling me “oh but you’re so confident!” I want to talk about my 5 year struggle with depression without people telling me “really?! You’re so bubbly!” Just because I pass, and I work damn fucking hard to pass as a “normal” or “neurotypical” person does not mean I don’t get to talk about these issues that plague me everyday. Not everyone is “visually” or “obviously” disabled or mentally ill. Please stop putting disabled and mentally ill people on blast for not conforming to your understanding of these issues.
