here’s your daily reminder that ALL developmentally disabled adults deserve to be treated like adults
yes, even people with autism, downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, fetal alcohol syndrome, fragile x syndrome, tbi’s, AND/OR deafness/blindess
IM SO TIRED OF SO MANY THINGS ABOUT DISABILITY BEING IN PRIMARY COLORS & CUTE BUBBLE TEXT
IM SO TIRED OF CAPTIONS AUTO-CENSORING CURSES & VIDEO CREATORS TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT THE ALGORITHM BY LEAVING PEOPLE OUT OF WHAT THEYRE ACTUALLY SAYING
IM SO TIRED OF FORCED BEDTIMES IN CARE HOMES & FORCED CELIBACY & SOBERNESS BY CAREGIVERS
WE ARE NOT CHILDREN . WE ARE ADULTS . WE CUSS AND FUCK AND DRINK AND DO DRUGS AND WE LIKE ADULT THINGS . HORROR MOVIES AND BOOKS AND SHOWS ABOUT SEX AND VIOLENCE . TREAT US LIKE ADULTS OR I'LL CUT YOU
Happy disability pride month to disabled butches

Happy disability pride month to all my lovely disabled queer folks, we are affected disproportionately by disabilities of all forms <3
All bathroom stalls should be large enough for mobility aids.
I'm so sick of being unable to use a bathroom now that I have a mobility aid.
And also, you should not put the ONLY CHANGING STATION inside of the ONLY DISABLED STALL. It is so awkward trying to use the bathroom while parents are outside holding a baby with a dirty diaper waiting for you to be done.
Disability tumblr is nice because you log on to complain about symptoms and your mutual is complaining about the same thing and you can give them a little heart in suffering solidarity
If a disabled person is waiting for an elevator, especially a wheelchair or bulky mobility aid user, you need to let them in, even if that means you have to take the next elevator.
Go watch the quest for the rainbow bagel, if it's still on YouTube. The guy has to wait as elevator after elevator after elevator is too full for him. Ultimately, he crawls down the stairs and has his companions carry his wheelchair for him. This is difficult, dangerous, and could break his chair- breaking his legs, essentially.
All because people who can walk were too selfish to let him on.
You can squeeze into a packed elevator. Bulky aid users can't. So get out, encourage others to get out, and let them in. You just have to say, "oh, you definitely can't go down the stairs, but the elevator is too full for you to squeeze in. I'll get out to make room for you and take the next one." It will pressure others to help.
This also applies to bathrooms, by the way. "Oh, you need the accessible stall. I can use any stall. Why don't you go ahead of me so that you can use it when it's available."
Standard disclaimer that non apparent disabilities exist and some might need the elevator/stall. If you have trouble with standing, I highly recommend getting a foldable seat or a cane seat. I sit on mine when I need to wait.
Can y'all stop joking about brain damage? Like, fr... People don't take me seriously when I try to explain that I got brain damage and that's why I struggle with tons of stuff and they think I'm just using a dumb excuse to be lazy.
Can we take brain damage serious for 5 fucking minutes? Pleaaaaseeeeeeeee?????
