According to my brother, the camera operators are told in advance when they're going to be cut to or at least given a heads-up, so this guy assumed he was safe to use his camera basically as a pair of binoculars bc he wasn't supposed to get the focus. But the person who was switching between camera feeds accidentally cut to his camera by mistake instead of the one that was supposed to be filming, so they ended up televising what was supposed to me one man's private cockroach observation moment.

So maybe it's not our "job" as disabled and/or neurodivergent folks to explain disability, neurodivergence, and ableism, but if we refuse to answer good faith questions from people who are honestly seeking answers--but who might have gotten bad info or have inaccurate preconceptions--then the loudest "explainer" voices are gonna be the far-right Prager U-type assholes who think we're all scamming, whiny, attention-seeking freeloaders unless we fit into a very narrow category they can use as inspiration porn.

Note that I'm talking about honest inquiries, not the "prove it" crowd. Those people have already made up their mind, and all they want to do is waste your time and energy.

I might not have the spoons every single day (and some of us will never have the spoons) to deal with explaining this stuff, but in general, if someone asks me about being disabled or how to not be ableist, what I'm NOT gonna do is pop off with some kinda snarky "Google is free," crap.

Because if we disabled folks won't talk to people honestly trying to learn, then GUESS whose shitty take is gonna be right there on the first page of search results?

And sometimes we are asking for you specifically. Google can give general ideas, but like, I need to know your preferences, your boundaries.

Excellent addition; thank you. Not all disabled and/or neurodivergent people share the exact same experiences or preferences--even if we have the exact same diagnoses.
