some of y’all need to learn more compassion for adults who are severely mentally ill or disabled… like schizophrenics who still depend on their family members and probably always will have to, autistic people who live in group homes, people with bipolar disorder who attend partial inpatient programs, etc…. people who couldn’t get college degrees, who can’t work. not everyone is like you.
the responses on this post are overwhelming honestly. we are a part of your communities and we are here. i hope every one of you this post applies to has a good or better day.

#the amount of people I see (even in mental health/disability advocacy groups!!!) hating on disabled people who aren't independent is WILD #one of my cousins said that she knew I might always have to live at home and that's fine because that's just how some people are #and not everybody is able to be independent #and let me tell you I nearly cried because my own siblings aren't even that understanding
