oh also can people stop saying that literally every single tiny fucking thing is ableist. like hi physically disabled neurodivergent person here, able bodied people are really out here claiming that everything ever is ableist in the most performative way imaginable, doing nothing to actually help disabled people and just speaking over us instead, pushing an inaccurate idea of what disability is and how disabled people are. for instance, you all seem to think we’re unintelligent as fuck, and you also think that all physically disabled people? cant go outside? you infantilise us and generalise our needs, when disability is so complex and each individual has a specific set of needs to be met that could be contradictory with another’s. you love to coddle white neurodivergent people, shielding them from criticism for racism by claiming that ‘they don’t understand’, thereby enabling racism from white neurodivergent people and also reinforcing the infantilisation of disabled people as a whole. this also suggests that kids are like? naturally racist ??? literally what the fuck like go outside get off the internet stop pretending to give a shit about disability when all you really want to do is enable racism and still somehow get woke points on twitter. like do i even need to mention how the only activism you see about physical disability from able bodied ppl is saying that the phrase go outside is ableist. you guys go on and on about autism and adhd (not the only disabilities in the neurodivergent bracket anyway) in an uneducated and gross way and just ignore every other fucking disability all while claiming to be suuuuch a good ally. shut the fuck up. stop making jokes about diabetes or pay me a tenner for each fucking one so i can afford better medical equipment

#should clarify with the go outside thing as well that im aware some disabled ppl aren’t able to go out much or even at all in some cases +#and i have nothing but respect for those people and their feelings about the phrase go outside #the issue i have with this talking point is that it’s trivial and generalises the experience of disability as though it’s all encompassing #like NONE of us can go outside. idk it just rubs me the wrong way like actually the image you have in your head of disabled life is so so +#inaccurate. you see us all as sad and unfulfilled when there are so many mobility aids that we have that make our lives fucking great. idk #just fed up of twitter treating disability like a one note issue and refusing to understand anything about the community #why don’t we talk about accessible healthcare why don’t we push for disabled benefits to be improved #why don’t we address how being disabled forces you into a never ending cycle of bartering with government officials for your needs to be met #nothing is easy when you’re disabled. there is NO system to cater for us like i just had to wait seven months to get a driving license that+#able bodied people can get in less than a week. LESS THAN A WEEK. and i had to wait seven months meaning ive missed out on a bunch +#of opportunity. and i couldn’t contact anyone during those months to find out about the process etc BECAUSE NO ONE CARES #like literally fuck off shut up don’t blather on about how the word ‘stupid’ is ableist why don’t we talk about #idk like the fact we don’t have marriage equality for disabled people???????#activism is about the real fucking world. about doing things within in. and that’s ESPECIALLY important for disabled ppl because +#it’s about making our society inhabitable for us.#obviously language and semantics is also important but some of you guys are picking up on the smallest things that no disabled person +#actually cares about. what we care about is you know being regarded as human by our governments #shut up daisy
