Elegy
(A Content SMP poem):
I never knew what it was like
to care for something
until you came along.
At first you were nothing to me,
but then nothing became something,
and then something became everything,
and I had no idea until that everything
became nothing once more.
As I carried you home,
I felt as if my tears could fill oceans
and my cries could fill the ears
of everyone in this world
to let them know what I lost.
I never knew what it was like
to be changed,
to become changed,
until your presence changed me.
You were my friend
who was the moon to my night skies,
the lantern to my dark paths,
and every single candle
that lit up every single one of my rooms.
And now that you are gone,
I have no idea what to do now,
or where to go.
I have become lost in my own darkness
once more,
and had know idea I was lost the first time
until you were there.
I never knew what it was like
to miss something
or someone
until this very moment.
As you lay buried in the garden,
your body is placed in the ground,
and yet it feels as if you’re a thousand miles
away from me.
I miss you more than the dry earth
misses rain.
I miss you more than the sun
misses the moon as it passes in the sky,
and more than the moon misses the sun
because of the same thing.
I miss you more than the ocean
misses every coral reef
that dies within it,
and I miss you more than the forest
misses every tree it loses to the fire
one way or another.
I miss you more than the terrible swordsman
who misses every swing,
and the terrible marksman
who misses every shot.
I miss you more than I miss
the bliss of ignorance,
and euphoria of not caring for anything,
and every meal that I have ever finished,
and every meal that will be left unfinished
from now on.
I miss you from your smile,
to our jokes,
to your simple existence in my house,
to the way that you’d burn every marshmallow,
to even the way that you’d step
on the amethyst floor
where we first became friends.
I love you so much
and if I had the chance to tell you that,
I would.
Even if I only had five minutes,
or even five seconds,
I would.
Goodbye.

I’m a teenager
I shouldn’t have to worry about politics.
I shouldn’t have to worry about my rights
being stripped away
because of an election.
I’m a teenager
still a kid
I shouldn’t need to be scared
for the world
for my country
for myself.
I’m just a kid.
I’m just a kid.
I can’t do anything
my voice is too small to be heard
too easily dismissed.
I’m just a kid.
I’m just a kid.
I shouldn’t need to be afraid about this
I’M JUST A KID.
I only want to survive.

i think a lot of people in the rtc fandom don't understand the sort of disability ricky is supposed to have. canon is pretty vague about it and that's led to a lot of misconceptions. i wanted to go through some of the unclear canon lines that describe his disability and explain what they actually mean in a medical context, and what it could imply
The basics
According to Karnak's introduction of Ricky in the musical, he was "born with a rare degenerative disease". The most obvious effect of this is that he has difficulty walking - he uses mobility aids (usually crutches, but some productions have other aids) and, according to Karnak's narration, his knees began to buckle when he was six.
Based on the fact that he needs aids to walk, can't talk out loud (more on that later in the post), and specifically has a degenerative disease, it's likely that he has some form of neuromuscular disease. This is an umbrella term for diseases relating to the nerves that control the muscles. A common type of neuromuscular disease is muscular dystrophy.
There are many neuromuscular diseases that cause a wide range of symptoms, but some of the most common & basic symptoms include: muscle weakness, muscle pain, muscle atrophy/wastage, and spasticity. Any of these could contribute to Ricky needing mobility aids to walk.
With that said, Ricky's disability would realistically not only affect his legs - muscles and nerves are everywhere! He would likely also struggle with using his arms and hands, remaining upright for long periods of time (that uses muscle strength!), and potentially basic things like breathing and swallowing.
Exactly how much trouble he'd have with the above things would depend on the severity of his disease, and because his disease is degenerative, the severity would depend on how quickly it progresses. The script is quite vague about this, and different productions imply different levels of severity depending on what mobility aid he uses and how he uses it. If you want to depict Ricky in fanworks, it's a good idea to have a mental idea of how his disease is progressing and what specific symptoms he has - especially if you're doing something post-canon when his disability has progressed further.
Fun fact: When Karnak specifically says that Ricky has a "rare degenerative disease", the term "rare disease" isn't just an informal/subjective term for a disease that isn't common - it's a medical term with a specific meaning! In Canada, a disease is classified as a "rare disease" if affects fewer than 1 in 2000 people. Rare diseases come with additional challenges - they are often difficult to diagnose due to lack of awareness even among medical professionals, treatments are often experimental or nonexistent, and a lack of awareness leads to fewer resources.
Ricky's inability to speak
I sometimes notice people in the fandom who seem to believe Ricky is nonverbal due to autism (or another neurodivergence), and his physical disability is unrelated. I'm not sure if this is because people are combining the new script (where Ricky can't talk due to psychological trauma) with the old script (where he's physically disabled), or if it's just due to a lack of awareness of physical disabilities affecting speech, and due to people associating AAC with autistic people only.
However, I feel that Karnak's lines while introducing Ricky ("Born with a rare degenerative disease, when Richard lost his power of speech..." mentioning his inability to speak immediately after the disease, implying they're related) imply that his loss of speech is due to his neuromuscular disorder.
And many real-world neuromuscular disorders can cause this! Dysarthria is a medical term for difficulty speaking, and it can be caused by neuromuscular problems because speaking uses the muscles in your throat and mouth.
Autistic nonverbal people definitely need more representation. I headcanon Ricky as autistic too - and he can have autism-related communication difficulties as well as being physically unable to speak! But I feel it's important to understand that his inability to speak likely has a physical cause. There's a lack of awareness around dysarthria, and many people aren't even aware that some physically disabled people can rely on AAC to communicate.
Fun fact: It's possible that Ricky may also have dysphagia, the medical term for difficulty swallowing! There's a lot of overlap between dysarthria and dysphagia, as they both involve the muscles in the mouth and throat.
How Ricky communicates
The canon description of how Ricky communicates is "the Potts Family took a vow of silence. Usually communicating in a series of strange gestures only they understood." There are a couple of ways you can interpret this if you want to be fully canon compliant.
The first way is that the phrasing "gestures only they understood" is an exaggeration, meaning they were the only people in uranium city to understand the "gestures". This would imply that they're just speaking a common sign language. In Canada, this would most likely be ASL, as that's the official sign language in Canada.
The other way is to interpret "gestures only they understood" completely literally. This would imply a communication system invented entirely by the Potts family. This does exist in real life, and is called home sign or kitchen sign! However, home sign is primarily developed in situations where someone has no other way to communicate, because it is generally much more practical to learn to communicate in an existing language than to create a new one from scratch. Ricky truly communicating in home sign would come with implications and questions about exactly why his family would have chosen that way for him to communicate, given AAC and ASL were likely both options.
Regardless of whether Ricky uses ASL or a home sign, I feel it's important to mention - sign language is specifically part of Deaf culture, and is not just AAC. Sign languages are primarily developed and spoken by d/Deaf and hard of hearing people, who often find it more practical as a primary language and form of communication because it is solely visual.
While some hearing people do use a sign language as their main form of communication because they can't speak, it isn't very common. It's important to remember that ASL is not just "English with hands", but a separate language which is as difficult to learn as any language. In most cases, when someone is unable to speak verbally, it's much more practical for them to find an alternate way to communicate in a language they already know, than to learn a whole new language and then only be able to communicate with people who speak (sign) that language.
Now, it's possible that Ricky is also d/Deaf or hard of hearing, or that one of his family members is, which would explain his use of sign language. It's also possible that he/his family had some other reason for choosing sign language over AAC. It's also possible (and quite likely) that the description of Ricky "communicating in a series of strange gestures" is simply because the writers of RTC were ignorant about how real people in Ricky's position would generally communicate, and assumed "strange gestures" would make sense rather than doing research on the subject.
Because of this - and also because of practical issues, such as the unlikeliness of the choir being fluent in sign language - Ricky is often seen using typical AAC in fanworks.
Regardless of whether you choose to depict Ricky communicating via sign language or AAC, I think it's important for that to be an informed choice, made with an understanding of the life circumstances that would have caused him to communicate that way. I also think it's a good idea to research whatever communication method he ends up using - it's fine to just put his dialogue in italics with a quick explanation of how he's communicating, but it's also interesting to see more detail put in to exactly how he talks!
Fun fact: Since Ricky's disability would likely affect his whole body including his hands, he may have physical difficulty communicating even without having to talk out loud! Assistive tech (such as AAC) doesn't necessarily make things easy for disabled people - it just makes things possible.
Conclusion / TL;DR
Ricky is implied to have a neuromuscular disease that affects his whole body. He is canonically unable to speak, likely due to dysarthria, and requires mobility aids, likely due to the neuromuscular disease affecting his legs. Ricky is also usually only disabled on-stage for a short time before becoming able-bodied in the afterlife, and even in productions where he still uses mobility aids in the afterlife, it seems that some sort of "musical magic" is allowing him to do physical feats (singing and dancing) that he may not normally be capable of. If Ricky's disability was depicted realistically for an extended period of time it would likely cause more effects than just the ones shown on-stage and described in the script.
There are many misconceptions about Ricky's disability and it is important to research before depicting, rather than just make assumptions.
Fun fact: It's common for disabled people to decorate and name their mobility aids. In one version of the script, Ricky's crutches are named Lady Marzipan and Dame Judi Dench! The first name is named after a dessert, and the second name is named after a British actress. (There's also a book called My Lady Marzipan but it came out long after RTC so it's probably unrelated.)
Thanks for reading!
