When you define neurodivergencies as strict sets of immutable symptoms, you are excluding the many neurodivergent people who experience their symptoms differently.

When you claim neurodivergencies are states of the mind fundamental to the brain and not loose groupings of symptoms defined by, often, neurotypicals, you are actively letting others who do not have our best interests at heart treat our minds as abnormalities that must be straightened, stratify our minds as 'aberrant', inherently less worthy of respect than 'normal' ones. I'd hazard a guess that you participate in this stratification too.

When you claim neurodivergencies are sources of pure suffering. You are denying even the slightest modicum of joy and happiness that we feel from our neurodivergencies. You are overruling the contributions we have made to this world that have been enabled by our neurodivergence. You are reinforcing a culture where people are ashamed of what makes them different.

When you claim that nobody in the right mind would want to be neurodivergent, you in saying that, are once again denying that any good may come of neurodivergency. You are reinforcing our existence as a class of untouchables who may not be admired in any way. You are blatantly ignoring the goodfaithedness and respect transneurodivergent people have when approaching their truer neurotype.

I have never been denied treatment in favor of a transnd person, I have never faced oppression because a transnd person pushed misinformation about any condition i have, I have never felt excluded from my neurodivergent communities by transnd people. What I have instead seen, is transnd people being treated with the same ableism as cisnd people, transnd people working hand in hand with cisnd people in advocacy, transnd people who are just like cisnd people in every meaningful way, yet you still love dividing us.

You have the gall to claim you're advocating for us when you are pulling out every last page in the ableist handbook.

FIRST TIME GETTING HATE 🥳🎉🎊 i feel like ive officially made it as a radqueer <33

anyways, usually i would just ignore this but i kinda wan2 add my piece (again, lol) and actually expand on my pevious post about transautistic folks.

I'm cis autistic, im guessing you missed that key detail in my post. when i was 13 i would have autistic meltdowns where i would dissociate, screem, and cry for hours into the morning, in my parents bed as they soothed me. at 14 i would collapse in front of the school doors and beg them not to let me go. one time i had a good day, my parent walked me in, and my principal cornered me in the hallway and told me i was old enough to walk myself in. at 15, i finally transferred schools, to a school where nearly every kid has an IEP, i LOVED it, but i couldn't go. i was thrown into burnout, i was bed ridden for weeks on and off.

im chrono 16 in less than a month, im finally getting a diagnosis, i just failed 2 classes, i know damn well that i still have not faced the worst, but does that make me a victim? no, it makes me incredibly proud to be autistic. I am full of pride for my disability, and i want others to see the light in this disorder. i love every single transautistic person out there, because they are making our disorder known, and they are dedicated to understanding and speading awareness for our disorder.

yes, i say our, because i will not be gatekeeping a term just because i had a horrible experience with it. that would be victimization. i will not spead hate on anyone who has a better experience than myself, because that is victimization. autistic folk have suffered long enough, and if someone wants to call themselves autistic, pick up the traits, live as an autistic person, and spread awareness for their self made disability? have fun with it? power to them. we have suffered long enough, its time that non-cisautistic people started speaking up about our disorder.

You don't need it for physical pain reasons? Thats okay! Who cares.

Use that cane, use those crutches, use that walker, use that wheelchair.

Information for transwheelchair users that might be helpful. Keep in mind, I personally don't currently use a wheelchair, I use my cane and crutches, but I'm not stupid and know how to do research to help others.

1. Where can I get a wheelchair?

For a wheelchair that is not custom made and is simply just a manual wheelchair, you can find options at Walmart, Home Depot, CVS, Lowes, and Target. These options usually range from $120 dollars to about $250 dollars dependant fully on where you're located.

2. Can I use a wheelchair if I don't technically need one?

Of course, it isn't illegal, but I'd like to elaborate on that. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses and government entities must allow the use of mobility devices, including wheelchairs, by anyone. You are not legally required to prove a disability to use one in public. Businesses can only ask questions if you need a specific reasonable accommodation or modifications. They cannot ask for your medical diagnosis, force you to explain your condition, or deny you entry based on your wheelchair.

3. Does me buying a wheelchair prevent others from getting one?

No, of course not. The idea that wheelchairs are somehow scarce may be rooted in some fact, but over the counter, non-insurance covered wheelchairs aren't scarce. Off-the-shelf consumer purchased wheelchairs do not compete with specialized, medically necessary orders, usually covered by insurance. They aren't in the same ballpark.

4. Does using a wheelchair longterm as a technically able-bodied individual cause any damage?

Yeah, it can, so if you aren't looking for that outcome, here's some things to look out for. If you do want that outcome, just ignore this part.

What you're gonna look out for is muscle atrophy, joint contractures, bone density loss, upper limb overuse, cardiovascular and metabolic decline, and pressure injuries. Now, I'm not a doctor, and this isn't medical advice, but if you want to avoid these, I'd personally, from my own experience with using physical aids, find a workout routine that would prevent these and do that when you're not using your wheelchair to keep yourself healthy.

5. Is it disrespectful to use mobility aids if I don't technically require them?

You're going to hear a lot of different things from a lot of different people, but in my personal opinion as someone who has used a variety of mobility aids, I do not see any problems with people using these tools for their own benefit because that is what they're there for. They are made for the comfort of and the assistance of those who need them in any way, and I believe that applies mentally as well.

I hope some of this information helps if you're planning to get a wheelchair any time soon. If anything here is incorrect or has changed in the recent years, do inform me, I'd love to be able to edit and fix my mistakes, but this is based purely on my own research using government sites and shopping sites. See ya.
