ADHD be like: I need to do do this task before I go to bed. therefore I’ll stay up all night on my phone because I have no motivation to do the thing but I can’t go to bed unless I do it.

Because traumatized people often have trouble sensing what is going on in their bodies, they lack a nuanced response to frustration. They either react to stress by becoming “spaced out” or with excessive anger. Whatever their response, they often can’t tell what is upsetting them. This failure to be in touch with their bodies contributes to their well-documented lack of self-protection and high rates of revictimization and also to their remarkable difficulties feeling pleasure, sensuality, and having a sense of meaning.

No doctor will ever get my respect like the woman in the ER who checked me for claws and fangs because I told her I was turning into a werewolf and could feel it and let me know gently that she couldn't find any but that didnt make it feel any less real, like THATS how you do it, other doctors who just flat out told me I was wrong take notes

This is how you treat us!

Ok so I’m posting this for myself as much as anyone else so I might be a bit of a hypocrite, but please don’t be ashamed of the accommodations you need. It sucks to think that you ‘aren’t disabled enough’ or that people judging you is important enough to not use something that makes your life easier. Work on breaking out of that mindset because it’s not true; it’s just the internalised ableism talking when you have those thoughts. You deserve your accommodations and you aren’t bad for using them.

Normalize disabled voices

Echolalia, monotone voices, stuttered speech, slurred speech, labored breathing between words and sentences, mechanical AAC voices,  AAC or sign users who consider those to be their voices, selectively mute voices, disorganized speech, speech with vocal tics, speech considered to be of “inappropriate volume”, speech with vocal stims, all disabled voices and the ways they present

also the psychological impact of being in pain every day is so taxing like. from childhood we're told that if we're in pain it means that something is wrong, a scuffed knee or a bruised elbow, but we're also taught that pain is always temporary, nothing that a cartoon plaster and a few days' time can't solve. so when you're dealing with chronic pain and your body is screaming at you that something is wrong and banging pots and pans together 25/8 it's like you're constantly on edge, always waiting for things to get even worse, willing things to get better even when your Rational Brain^tm knows that what you're experiencing isn't temporary. it takes so much energy to be this anxious all the time, even on good days it's so draining being in pain every second of every minute of every day. you really have to deconstruct every single thing you've been taught about pain, injury, and healing. i really wish i had a snappy conclusion or a positive note to end on. but i don't. it's just. exhausting!
