Ableist language content warning:
Just a PSA: Many people believe they aren't ableist but as soon as someone's disability inconveniences them in the slightest, they're immediately up in arms about how horrible this person is for being disabled.
So tired of hearing "you have to help yourself"
"Have you tried [insert completely unhelpful tip]"
"You can't expect the world to bend to your will." (When asking for accommodations)
"You don't LOOK disabled."
"Well you did ___ yesterday why can't you do it today?"
"You need to stop making excuses."
"You can do anything if you put your mind to it."
"You just have to force yourself to work you have no choice."
"Just go home if you're going to act like that [my legs collapsing beneath me/fainting/saying I'm having a panic attack]" (same people who tell me I just need to push through)
"Oh that person is being so rude" (when they are overwhelmed and unable to carry on a normal masked conversation bc they are overwhelmed)
"ADHD isn't an excuse to be late or forget things you can set alarms and have planners"
I and many others are rightfully pissed off at being dismissed and condescended to and belittled and stomped into the dirt EVERY OTHER DAY. (Not exaggerating.)
