a child who is persistently alone & does not want to be alone does not learn that they on occasion have time to themselves during which they can do whatever they want, they learn that occasionally they will have time to themselves throughout which they will do nothing except exactly what they do not want to do - something that is synonymous with that duration of time. if they were being made to do some or other unpleasant thing, like hold their hand on a hot stove, that would not be synonymous with the duration of time, it would be something occupying that duration of time. when they are made ito be alone, the fact that they are alive & conscious is felt as a profound lack rather than the fundamental opportunity atop which all other opportunities are built, & the passage of time becomes something to be endured because it continually implies their continued existence & awareness. life for them then becomes organized not around exploration nor seeking enjoyment or fulfillment, but around strategies for continually enduring the fact that they exist

every disabled person, whether they can technically push through or not, should receive all the care they need, accessible respectful compassionate comfortable care, at whatever time of day they need it, to achieve anything they want done, from crucial daily life tasks to random whims, all for free. sorry but it’s true

it's really interesting that some people live in a world where "therapy" isn't a whole host of various treatments with either positive or negative outcomes and which often doesn't work or requires significant outside support to make any meaningful difference, but instead a sort of magical amulet against being mentally ill that works automatically just by going there

[bebsi-cola]

it's strange that there's talk about disabled people as if we are either diagnosed or undiagnosed when both groups and indeed all disabled people are on the whole underdiagnosed. like yay you spent 6+ years fighting for an answer. they gave you one that doesn't cover even half the problems you have, was poorly explained to you (if they explained it at all) and with no followup treatment. you're close to right where you started but now there's a little word on your medical files that you can bring out to fail at getting people to take you seriously or other people can bring out to dismiss and mock you.

[bebsi-cola]

there's that one friend who is always going through relentless bullshit but man when you're the disabled friend it's you. the relentless bullshit is onto you

[bebsi-cola]

we can't even be like "let's stop pandering to ableds and just start killing" because that's a luxury most disabled people can't afford when their access to basic care is entirely dependent on how nice or likable or grateful they seem
