Painted up my wheelchair I use when I've gotta travel. Oddly proud of it tbh "my illness is chronic but I am iconic"

Albinism is a rare genetic disorder where the body produces little to no melanin. Melanin is a chemical that is responsible for the pigmentation (colour) of the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin is also involved in the development and functioning of the eyes and as a result, people with albinism may have vision problems.

Abilities you ignored

I can't do what you can do,

How presumptuous of you to assume.

Do you know me well enough to make that call?

It says a lot about what type of person you are.

Do you know my life well enough to judge?

Yes, I'm deffective, so what?

Does that tell you what I'm capable of?

What if I inflict that on you?

Assume your abilities like I know you.

Don't tell me I'm being rude,

You give, you get back, ain't that the truth?

Why are you offended, I'm just telling you what you told me.

Point out your flaws, sting, doesn't it?

Don't be mad, you deserve it.

Anyway, I like being this way, thank you.

I function just fine in the dark, can you?

A little sunlight to your eyes, it hurts you.

Take it away, you don't know what to do.

Can't relate, personally.

Don't ever underestimate my abilities.

When a child’s sensory system is overwhelmed, they can feel unsafe. For some children with autism, this experience is due to their heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In crowded or noisy environments, they may struggle to filter out background noise, making it difficult to focus on important cues or stay alert to potential dangers. They may also have difficulty understanding the social cues of others and interpreting nonverbal language, which can lead to misunderstandings and feelings of vulnerability.

Saturday, July 15, 2023 ADHDers often feel like we 'should' be able to do something because ✨ we've done it before ✨ or that our difficulty with focus/productivity isn't a real disability b/c sometimes we can do it just fine.

GUYS. LADIES. GENTLETHEMS.

THAT IS THE DISABILITY.

The INCONSISTENCY. - Jessica McCabe, @howtoadhd

I have the photoshop skills to blur out the number plate, and I WAS going to do that and just complain about the behaviour. Since this man decided he was going to use TWO #disabled bays. Which is really frustrating people if you are disabled there's a REASON you need these spaces! . But when the man saw me, he got extremely abusive towards me. Because he knew what he did was wrong, and obviously didn't care. Then he parked in a regular space!?? So yeah, fcuk him. Why are #audi drivers like this? . What really gets me as well, there ARE bays that face this way just opposite to where he parked... But nooooo... he choose to make things difficult for disabled people. 🙄🙄🙄 . . . . . . . . . #disability #disabilityawareness #car #carpark #audicars #audidrivers #disabilityrights #disabledparking #ablelism (at Manchester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoT-gBDajq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
