9, 12, 14, and 18 for the disability ask game :)

; 9. Have you had any ableist encounters that were js kinda funny ?? - I don't have the memory for this but one I do remember vaguely is this person was complaining about I think disabled ppl needing " unnecessary extras, privilege even !! Difficult !! " ( their words ) support and such, and that's not funny but it was more of they were saying this to me as if I'd agree yk ?? As if I was their fellow co worker complaining about the traffic lol .. What was really funny is I had noise cancelling headphones on, a stim toy in hand, was sitting in a dark corner and avoiding ppl like the plague, and at the time had a lil autistic pin on my bag. Like honey I am not your target audience, I am your target.

; 12. which stripes of the disability pride flag do you identify with ?? - I believe the white ( invisible && undiagnosed ) & green ( sensory ) ones only !?? Maybe yellow .. ( cognitive && developmental ) but I'm not sure .. The exact meaning of that stripe gets jumbled a lot so I'm never 100%. /nm

; 14. what’s a symptom you have that you feel is underrepresented ? - for me it's difficulty w temperature regulation && recognition !! I rarely see it talked about tbh, and if it is it's only ever brief lol .. I could talk forever about my struggles relating to them tho .. ( oh oh hyperfixating on neurodivergence bc you Need To Be Sure™ even though you're literally proving yourself right right there lol )

; 18. do you have any disabled headcanons !?? - I have HCs that are based off like heavily / implied to be canon things .. But also Partially Deaf Rise!Raph ( post-rottmnt movie mostly ) and Demi-Verbal Donnie .. !! ( no that's not me projecting onto Don what ) .. Oh and Luz && Hunter being beloved auDHD siblings, bc I don't think those are canon .. But idk maybe I'm js autistic but it's so obvious lol /lh

; these answers may be shitty but I' answered them the best I could at this current moment in time !! ( these were so fun to answer. I possess joy now .. Thank you !! /gen )
