Say it with me! Wheelchairs aren’t sad! Mobility aids aren’t sad! Mobility aids are instruments of freedom!

I myself do not use mobility aids, but my mother does.

I have found, if anything, that her actually using her mobility aids allows us to do MORE stuff together, not less.

For example, there is a seasonal Christmas market in my city. To attend, my mother had to use her wheelchair. While there were some navigational difficulties amongst the crowds of people, had she not had her wheelchair she wouldn’t have been able to come at all because she would be in too much pain to walk.

Mobility aids actually open up so many opportunities for disabled people; the things that limit them are the lack of societal and infrastructural support to those that use mobility aids.

The way some abled people react to disabled folks being out in public, you'd think we were mythological.

Put your eyes back in your head, Susan. I'm disabled, not a centaur.

i always find disability advice posts a Little funny cause you can always tell the difference between a knowledgeable abled person and a disabled person/the child of a disabled person giving advice. not to say the abled advice is bad. the priorities are just. Different

abled advice: "add handles to utensils! thumb book holders help a lot! zipper pulls and button hooks can help! look at the devices on this OT website! here is an adaptive devices website! heres a helpful instagram account! websight! ^^"

disabled advice: "fuck shoelaces they are evil. take them out you do not need them. you can use your mouth as a third hand in most cases, your teeth are basically bone fingers. i glued a paperweight to a knife and thats how i chop my vegetables. this book made in 1940 will save your life. most adaptive devices can be made with tape, zipties, glue, and spite."

Something my health issues made me realize is that, yes, you can become disabled overnight, and you don’t need something dramatic to happen, no cars are involved, no plane crashes happened, no traumatic incidents causing mental disability, no crimes happened, no malpractice, and yet you can simply wake up one day sick, and never get better
