At this point I’m not gonna preface it or whatever
I’m just gonna call myself disabled & a spoonie
No, I’m not severely disabled, disabled in a way you can tell at a glance, or disabled on a way that means I can’t live alone
But my body is sure as hell not normative in a way that slows me down and my brain is not normative in a way that interferes with my daily life
And I’d be *more* disabled if I hadn’t had so much physical, visual, and psychiatric therapy, more disabled without my inhalers and psych meds
But while we have a responsibility to listen to the most marginalized and accommodate the people who need it most…I don’t think I’m taking away anything from other disabled people by saying this.
