People who are schizophrenic are not going to hurt you
People with DID are not going to hurt you
Its VITAL that as fellow survivors, as fellow neurodivergent people, we recognize when we are perpetuating the stigma against each other. We cannot let preconceived, ableist notions of other conditions define how we interact and attempt to understand others in neurodivergent spaces. I refuse to scapegoat other survivors and neurodivergent individuals for abuses and fears pressed upon us by an ableist society.

The last time
I came back to life
was in the middle
of an ordinary day
while at the grocery store,
when I caught
my reflection
in the butcher’s glass
& did not flinch.
