Yes, all disabilities are going to present differently and look different and may even have vastly different needs, but at the end of the day, if you're disabled, you're likely going to have more in common with a differently disabled person than you will an abled person. The sooner you recognize how similar you are to other people (and seek out similarity/solidarity), the sooner you realize that your needs will never be fulfilled without each other. Divided, you are an easy target. Alienated, you are at risk.

#disabled #you will realize there is no way to save yourself by throwing other disabled people under the bus #'oh i'm not as disabled as THOSE disabled people!' but you are still disabled.#the point is that you are disabled in the first place in a world that is overwhelmingly ableist #don't let divide-and-conquer take you or your fellow disabled person #maybe i am not as insane as another insane person but. we are BOTH insane. we are fucked over TOGETHER
