when i was a freshman in college i wanted to dress up for halloween because i thought surely college students would have the spirit. so i elected to put a whole entire Skull Kid from legend of zelda majora’s mask cosplay together and wear that fucking ensemble to college on halloween.

i step on campus and realize immediately that not one other person is dressed up. not so much as a cat ear headband. so imagine this fucking dude sitting in a class of otherwise normally dressed people looking like this. that was me. this was my 9/11

In my experience, most people are frustratingly blind to their ableism because they don’t understand what it’s like to be disabled and just how deeply impacted we are.

Ive had multiple conversations where I can’t help but feel annoyed because people will casually poke fun at a way of doing a task or fulfilling a need and it impacts disabled people more-so than able-bodied people. They don’t realize this. I had a conversation about how lakes conflict with my sensory needs because the water always feels grimy, almost never consistent, and I struggle thinking about what all might be in the water. A friend took this as an opportunity to compare Bath water to lakes, to insist that anybody who doesn’t take exclusively showers is never clean. To them this is casual conversation. To me, it seemed like such a privileged thing to say. It seems wrong in itself to consider people unclean for having a preference different to you, but so unknowingly harmful as well.

A lot of disabled people cannot shower without pain or fatigue, I know and experience it firsthand. I choose to bathe because it’s easier than passing out, easier than having to spend hours laying to recover. To call people who take baths filthy and relate them to laying in lakes that are often full of bacteria and disease; is ultimately calling disabled people filthy.

I See the same things with commercials referring to products that make managing tasks easier, they’re so obviously meant for disabled folks, but the able-bodied cannot fathom what it is like to live with a disability. In fact they do not think to apply us at all, even when thinking of things made for us. Accessibility tools are branded as lazy and useless because the demographic is dismissed entirely.

I think this is why ableism is so hard to educate on, there’s an assumption that you can only be harmful purposely and most ableism is unintentional. Disabled people are overlooked and even in conversations directly relating to us, most people do not know they are shitting on the disabled. A Perfect example of this is the way people often talk about the “weird” kids, they are talking about common autistic traits but they believe themself to be a friend to the autistic community so any mention of their ignorance receives a negative, sometimes explosive, reaction. They insist that they do not mean disabled people while they directly impact us by what they are saying.
