#ablebodied

[rjalker]

Ableboded, sometimes shortened to "abled" in conversation specifically about physical disabilities to avoid having to type it out so much, is not a synonym for "not disabled".

You can be autistic and be ablebodied. You can have ADHD and be ablebodied. You can have chronic depression and be ablebodied. You can have any number of mental illnesses and developmental disorders and still be ablebodied.

Being ablebodied does not mean you're not disabled. It just means you're able of body.

You can be disabled and ablebodied.

Ablebodied neurodivergent is not an oxymoron.

Being neurodivergent is not the same thing as being physically disabled.

I could add more to this post but I'm tired. Someone else can elaborate if they want.

Hot take *you can have your own opinion, these are my feelings regarding how I am treated*

I don't like being referred to as a "warrior" or " fighter" in regards to my disabilities.

I am not some mystical being who can withstand all the pain in the world

I'm just a person. Who happens to be disabled.

I don't want to be treated differently, or praised for existing. Just leave me alone or talk to me about literally anything else. Don't make my life your charity case.

Question: when people use the term “abled people”, is that short for “able-bodied people” or just a term for non-disabled (neurotypical and ablebodied) people in general?

Honestly, let's get one thing clear. I am both physically disabled and mentally disabled. But my neurodivergence affects my health and energy more than my physical disability ever will.

I feel it's really unfair to divide physically and mentally disabled people as if a lot of neurodivergencies aren't physically taxing and feels like a chronic illness.

I keep seeing this said, but jesus christ, just because we may have different needs doesn't mean mentally disabled people are ablebodied.

Mental illness and mental disabilities will affect you physically and that's fucking true.

If you have a mental disability and need a mobility aid, you need a mobility aid.

It's really difficult living with ADHD as it affects me more than anything else. I am unmedicated and you have no idea how many times I have not been able to clean my room before b*gs came in, or how many dentist appointments I've been in because I struggle with physical hygiene. I can't even exercise because of my executive dysfunction. I am low spoons.

A lot of mentally disabled people are not ablebodied, and that is the truth. Can we stop treating it like we are in two separate categories??

Here is the only Zadontomerus of the Eastern U.S. (Note:  I will give anyone $100.00 if they name their kid Zadontomerus ... first names only).  Ceratina cockerelli.  The other more blueish species are all in the subgenus Ceratinula (also a good name for a child).  As an aside, giving a child a "different" name is always a plus in my book, it is like feeding them linguistical antibodies, for example, they are way less likely to spend all day on a cell phone if their name is Zadontomerus than Tim.  No one does their child a favor by naming them Tim.  Ok, back to bees (society building is always exhausting).  This species is small more black green than blue green and smaller and more southern than the others.  It possibly is also more fond of sandy environs.   Like other species of Ceratina it likely builds its nest in the cut stems of plants.  Not much is know about this species life history, so if you are looking for things to do then studying this species nesting biology should be right up there.  Photo taken by Sierra Williams.

Questions:

Hi everyone, Admin G here! I have a few questions for my disabled and able bodied friends. They are similar, but they are also different to accommodate the way a person can answer. As many of you may or may not know, I’m doing an internship this summer with Disability Resource Services and my main place Center for Identity & Inclusion. I would absolutely love all of your thoughts and opinions to make schools, events, and jobs more accommodating. Love you all & thank you in advance!!

Questions for those with disabilities:

What do you want to see differently in schools or at events for us?

How do you feel about your job or school's policies to help accommodate for us?

What needs to change? What's good?

I would love all of your thoughts and opinions

Questions for those without disabilities:

How do you think we could change events or schools to better serve people with disabilities?

How do you feel about your job or school's policies to help accommodate them?

What needs to change and why? What's good?
