Hi, I'm Sabi, a Latina Multidisciplinary Disabled Artist and the primary caretaker for my disabled, elderly mother. In March of 2024, we were evicted and our lives were thrown into chaos. We have been fighting poverty for decades. In Jan 2023 I was laid off due to my CPTSD leading to this situation.

Since the Eviction my mother our ESA and I have been living in crisis paying for a hotel one week at a time, at a rate nearly 3× times more than our previous rent.

Everyday, I am emergency fundraising for our housing, food & car. You can support our emergency need to come up with $1030 every week via one time contributions via Paypal & Kofi (check my Bio)You can support us best by becoming a Bun Supporter (monthly member of my KoFi)

Please ReadFAQs:

No I can't just apply for another apartment with an eviction on my record & no proof of income

No, there are no government programs for our specific situation, don't disrespect me assuming you know something I don't

No, I can’t work, I am Mom’s sole caretaker 24/7 and disabled

Yes, we do need our car, it's essential to our needs and as backup housing if necessary; with no AC, it's dangerous

No, I will not abandon my mother to the state

It's hard to believe it's nearly 2026 and that just a few years ago, I escaped the most horrific chapter in my life I still don't know how I survived, and with physical and emotional reminders that have changed me forever. Now, I ask community to hold me in kindness, once again, as I heal, for practical things like shelter, phone, other bills since I can't work to do these things for myself right now. Every dime is appreciated. If you're one who doesn't like to send 💸 I have wishlists with needs, and wants, if you prefer. Of course shelter is paramount, but I appreciate everything good. 🥲 📚 🧦 Grateful to all. #Helpfolkslive2025

Wld u say that people are either ND or NT (feels like a reductive binary sometimes), or that everyone has a different combination of ND and NT traits (ie neurodiversity as a ballpark w/everyone having a different combination & number of balls), & depending on how many ND or NT traits people have/notice abt themselves, they use the construct of neurodiversity to either identify as ND or NT? I'm confused here bc I'm also aware of those common invalidating comments of "we're all a bit autistic".

neurotypical is an enforced social standard, not an actual type of person. everyone deviates from that standard, to varying degrees, and every person has the potential to be told that the ways in which they deviate from standards makes them bad or wrong.

and so when a person says that "everybody is a little bit Autistic" they might intend to be diminishing of the disabled experience, but they're actually on the way to making an important realization. all the traits that are deemed pathological or disordered actually exist on a spectrum within all of humanity; those same traits exist in people who have not been deemed disordered or sick. there's nothing innately either good or bad about any of those traits, they simply are. they're an essential part of human diversity, part of what makes us human.

it is for this reason that i increasingly prefer the term neuroconforming to neurotypical, especially as a descriptor of individual people.

society certainly promotes a narrow set of standards for what being neurotypical must be: we see it in the expectations of our schools, workplaces, government bureaucracies and the demands of other powerful institutions. we see it expressed in the prejudices we come to hold as young children, in the media messages we are bombarded with, in public stereotypes regarding who is "safe" or "unsafe" or "normal" or "creepy."

these structures define for us what a neurotypical is. but no person actually is neurotypical. we're just neuroconforming to that standard, to varying degrees.

I first encountered the term neuroconforming via physician Dave Saunders, who contacted me on LinkedIn suggesting the term back in April 2022

#hmm#i like this as a shift in vocabulary but ONLY if people use it in tandem with the idea of a spectrum#that most people are in the middle of and very few are 100% neuroconforming#like describing myself as ‘mostly neuroconforming’ feels like it would get across the point of#‘I have anxiety and migraines and a couple other weird brain things I won’t specify here#but I am largely accommodated for pretty well in society’#if people start treating the word ‘neuroconforming’ exactly like they treat ‘neurotypical’ I do not think that will improve anything#(i.e. like anyone who doesn’t have one of a handful of neurological symptoms/conditions is Normal and never struggles with brain things)#…forgive me if I sound bitter or have hijacked your post. I never know whether my voice is useful or welcome in this kind of discussion#because I stand uncomfortably in a gray area (within the original coined definition of neurodivergence but outside the common usage)#(i don't think my experiences should be centered. but i would like to not feel completely left out)#neurodivergence#neuroconformity#may delete later

I'm with you. Great additions.

Benevolent ableism is something that I’ve just learned about. But since I’ve started using my wheelchair more often, I now realize, it’s been something I’ve experienced. I would always feel this sinking pit in my stomach when someone would help me do something without asking or treat me differently because of my disabilities. It was a confusing feeling because most of the time the person was well-meaning. But it didn’t change how I felt. I felt like I was less than. I felt this tone of condescension or superiority from the other person. Even if that wasn’t their intention. And I felt this obligation to smile and just go along. Not knowing how to describe this feeling I kept it to myself because I didn’t want to appear like I was ungrateful or rude for their unwelcomed advice or help. Now that I know there’s a word to describe the reasons for my feelings I’m more confident to talk about it and be more honest with how I feel. This also goes far beyond a family member or stranger. As an autistic person, I see now that benevolent ableism reaches into organizations that are made for us without us. For example, the many autistic organizations set up by mostly well-meaning neurotypicals that spread misinformation and only increase the stigma using our disabilities as the focus instead of including more important things like acceptance and quality of life. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have help. And when that help is needed it’s wonderful to have people in our lives that are so willing to be there for us. But it’s not OK to assume that you know what’s best for us without ever asking us and especially when you have no idea what it’s like to be us. Image ID: [The second slide: A gray background with multicolored sparkles in the back ground. The message in light green at the top reads, why is benevolent ableism problematic? Underneath and pink letters, acting with good intentions doesn’t always mean your actions aren’t harmful. And orange bubble, “Every time a disabled person is complimented on how inspiring they are, One group of people is objectified for the benefit of another group of people.” Quote by Stella Young. I like green bubble, often when we reject benevolent offers we are viewed as ungrateful and too sensitive. A pink bubble, the implication is that the abled person is more capable and knows what we need more than we do. A blue bubble, this behavior is often defended as praiseworthy and kind hearted.] the.chronic.couple

Some tthink it's better to let their community in their backyards die because people getting killed elsewhere matter more, there is room for both

You can help people of Gaza but also not let an indigenous Latino Family die from #Poverty and #facism as well - murder drones aren't the only danger under #capitalism
