[ID: graphic titled "THIS IS A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT CALLED 'STRABISMUS'!!"
below, are four drawings of a very fluffy creature with different presentations of strabismus. they're each labelled "hypotropia (eye points downward)," "exotropia (eye points outward)," "hypertropia (eye points upward," and "esotropia (eye points inward)."
the last has an arrow, with text reading "i looked like this when i was born!"
bottom text: it's not a quirky character design, it's a real disability!
it does not mean someone is clumsy, "stupid," or autistic
(ableist depictions of autistic and/or otherwise intellectually disabled people often have strabismus. why do you think this is?)
strabismus can occur from birth, later in life due to separate visual impairments, or because of physical trauma or strokes. it can cause permanent vision issues.
i'm partially blind in one eye!
when you design a character, think about if the traits you give them exist on real people! they often do!
what do you want your art to say about disabled people?
