Me presento (?

Constantly reminded that even a lot of disabled people don't trust people with brain damage to think for ourselves and hold opinions, let alone abled people. Constantly reminded that even the most otherwise progressive people often think that it would be better if I had died and will happily tell me that. Constantly reminded that being visible both online and offline as someone with noticeable brain damage is a sure way to get myself dehumanised or worse. Well fuck you I'm doing it anyway

(This is about physical brain damage, including ABIs. No your autism/ADHD/PTSD/depression/etc. is not brain damage. Non-brain damaged people can reblog but don't add anything.)

I've seen a few more specific this-is blogs under the @this-is-ableism umbrella so I decided to make one for brain injuries & brain damage as it's something very close to my heart and people often excuse this type of ableism, even in supposed disability-friendly spaces

Mod Info:

[PT: Mod info:]

My name is Atticus (any pronouns) and I'm a stroke survivor in my late 20s - I was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury in my youth and then experienced further damage to my brain due to my stroke, doubling up over here haha

I've faced a lot of problems with my symptoms of other conditions being doubted, being denied access to care, not being listened to, and being assumed to be incapable because of brain damage and I'm passionate about making this type of thing more known

Other ableism-based blogs I recommend include: - @this-is-accessibility - @this-is-anti-id / @this-is-anti-idd (intellectual disabilities / intellectual developmental disorders) - @this-is-saneism (mental health and disorders) - @this-is-infantilization - @this-is-cluster-b-saneism - @this-is-anti-bpd - @this-is-depressiomisia (depression) - @this-is-agorableism (the behaviours of disabled people in public) - @this-is-audism (deaf/Deaf/hoh/hearing loss/auditory processing disorder)

and I'll add in @thisis-suicidism and @thisisparamisia because their stuff is also very meaningful to me in particular
