Warning for others who can’t have gluten!

Lay’s very recently took the gluten free label off of their sour cream and onion chips. The only allergen listed is milk, but not having the label anymore means it’s cross contaminated.

I found out the hard way. 🙃

Anyway, pass this on, don’t eat Lay’s chips, and stay safe!

Diet change is always a difficult challenge for anyone, but especially so for autistic people. However, it's a challenge I'm going to have to face. Wish me luck.

sometimes i think people just don't. understand that i like answering (non invasive) questions about my disabilities/illnesses/disorders. like yeah girl go ask me how i do my makeup as someone with tics and spasms. go ask me how i do competitive gymnastics as someone with chronic illnesses (answer a lot of taking breaks). go ask me how my hypermobility impacts my day to day life. how chronic migraines and epilepsy impact me. about my mobility aids. my personality disorders. why i can sometimes eat gluten but usually can't. about juvenile arthritis. about my pots and my compression socks (which i have a large collection of). about my horrible anxiety. about my hypomanic and depressive episodes. about my sensory issues and autism in general.

so yeah you can ask me about my disorders. just be nice about it.

This disability pride month I’m shouting out to those with Celiac Disease and those with auto immune diseases specifically.

Why?

Because society thinks we’re a joke. We’re a mere trend for weight loss. That we can cheat a little and have a little crumb. That, even with some disability advocates, downplay us as well.

We are disabled, as people with Celiac. Socially, mentally, and physically. Yes, Celiac affects the brain too, so mentally too.

I am tired of even the disability community not seeing that some auto-immune diseases, not just Celiac, QUALIFY as a disability (and recognized in the US by the ADA!).

Celiac is WAY more than a tummy ache. It’s over 300 symptoms. Endless pain. All your favorite restaurants and foods being taken from you. Public isolation because you can only eat at such a small amount of safe restaurants. Pain mentally and pain physically.

Also- shoutout to all auto-immune diseases. We qualify as disabled. I see you, you and your goofy immune system.
