do you know any disabled people irl? what about online?

what's something good that's come out of being disabled?

does your disability affect how you experience other parts of your identity? (gender, queerness, culture, even hobbies/life goals you're very passionate about)

how do you measure your energy? (spoons, battery, something else?)

whats something youve come up with or integrated into your life that makes disability easier, besides typical aids?

Here :]]

do you know any disabled people?:

i do ! @seagull-spouse is my irl friend (i don't remember if I've showed u this blog before.... this is Nico) and also disabled :3 additionally i have an ADHD friend, multiple autistic-ADHD friends, a friend who constantly teeters between being legally blind and not, and a general wide distribution of mental illness in my friend group (though I don't know who personally considers themselves disabled by their MI and who doesn't). my brother is also autistic, though he.... forgets that most of the time. online i have disabled friends + mutuals as well ! far too many to list lol

whats something good:

it's shown me who is willing to stick by me and who isn't. there's a world of difference between the friend I used to have who, upon finding out I was autistic, screamed in my ear on purpose and called me a "mental cripple", and my current best friend (hellooo elliott) who sits and bitches with me about the curse of Knees or my boyfriend who refuses to let me feel bad about having symptoms around him (and I've got. a Lot of symptoms).

it also makes me extremely hot /j

does disability affect other aspects of identity:

yes ! it does ! my autism affects my gender, bc it really fucks my internal perception of feelings, to the point I identify as autigender. my chronic fatigue, chronic pain and mental disorders all affect my identity as an artist, as they both influence the art I make (the subjects im called to, the things that resonate with me, what im physically capable of doing) and how often/easy it is for me to do. art is really important to me, and disability Does impact it greatly.

how do you measure your energy?:

battery ! how much battery I feel like I have when I wake up, how much each big task costs me, how much i have at the end of the day, how much i can lose before i have a flare or meltdown or fatigue crash, etc. it makes sense to me.

whats something youve come up with to make disability easier?

just. Sit On The Floor . if it's not noticeably dirty or going to get me in trouble, it is a floor I will sit on. father is in a long line in the store? i step out of the line, sit on the floor, wait for him to be done. standing in the shower is too hard? floor shower. teachers not looking in science class and standing at lab tables is making me insane? sit on the floooooor for a sec. it has improved my life tenfold. (I also sit down in chairs or on tables/counters/other flat surfaces whenever possible.)

cpunk ask game 3

just to clarify on the 2nd one when i mentioned you can talk about your mental disabilities in the answers if you'd rather instead of your physical disabilities. i mean phys disabled people can additionally talk about any mental disabilities they also have, not inviting able bodied mentally disabled folk to use my ask games.

this are for cripples only and still asks centered around physical disabilities but if the reblogger wishes to answer a question and talk about their mental disabilities too they can. that is all.

whats an aid that no one mentions being an aid? could be big or small

14 15 16 <3

has there ever been a time where you felt solidarity/community with another disabled person in a situation with you?

every time I bitch about the Symptoms with Elliott, as well as any time the server or my irl gc stay up too late and start discussing the horrors of mental illness

what does disability pride mean to you?

answered fully in another post; tldr it's about community, being loud about what you deserve, and being unashamed of your needs and disabilities :]

free space to talk about whatever disability issue or experience you want !

hmmm lately I've been thinking about how abled people really just are on another understanding of how their bodies/minds work and what accomodations do.

like, one time I was talking abt how i am/was at the time too disabled to do theatre and my able-bodied friend said "but they can provide accomodations?". and, like. I don't even remember if I properly explained or if I just said "yeah maybe", but: even if I spend all day not moving, with heat packs where it hurts and eating nutritious meals and relaxing in bed, only getting up to do a short, refreshing walk in the sun, I am in pain. i am exhausted. I feel sick. I *am* sick.

therefore, all the accommodations in the world won't stop me from flaring and/or melting down after 3 hours of moving around, speaking, being around loud noises, memorizing things and socializing. they just Won't. i absolutely could Not do that, especially multiple days a week. I just can't. and I don't hold ill will to my friend for not understanding that, but.... it's wild. it really is.

1, 9 and 15

what disability/ies do you have? (and are they mental, physical, or both?)

I've got (some diagnosed, some unofficially acknowledged by doctors, some currently completely undiagnosed):

autism

an unspecified chronic pain condition

an unspecified chronic fatigue condition, may or may not be the same disorder as the pain! idk! my doctor just said to hope I grow out of it bc he sucks, so. no diagnosis for the Me

depression that I consider disabling bc it makes me wanna. yk. Die

ptsd that i consider disabling since I have nightmares and flashbacks and very sensitive triggers and avoidance and all that fun shit so yeah disability for sure

OCD that is like teetering on the edge between "disabling" and not. fluctuates how disabling it is basically

i may have BPD? my BPD irl friend thinks I probably do? and based on like 7 months of research I think I do? but I'm not sure and im not in a position where im able to get it diagnosed. if it is BPD it is one of Most disabling things I have for sure and the one I'd get rid of first in a heartbeat

I also have generalized anxiety I don't consider to be disabling, though it used to be, and an undiagnosed eating disorder I don't classify as a disability but i do classify as a bitch

so yeah a nice fun mix of mental disabilities mental illnesses and physical disabilities for meee :3 save me pls

9. how do you measure your energy? (spoons, battery, something else?

answered this in the other ask, i use battery :]

15. what does disability pride mean to you?

to me disability pride doesn't necessarily mean being happy about or content with your disabilities, since some people never will be able to make peace with them and that's OK. instead, it means, like. being unashamed of your needs, being vocal about what you deserve as a disabled person, solidarity with fellow disabled people, and refusing to sit back and let abled society hurt you (that doesn't mean it won't hurt, it just means fighting that hurt).

(idfk what the numbers are doing, tumblr is broken 😭)

[chroniccoolness]

14!

what good has happened recently related to your physical disability?

i don't know if this counts, but it getting worse recently has. uh. actually helped convince me that my friends care about me.

i'm complaining more, having more trouble focusing, having to be creative about when i can plan things and how long they last, sometimes just laying my head on my desk and trying to sleep mid-conversation, sitting in the back or the hall or another room during class because i'm in too much pain to participate, i can't really go out to tim's or anything for lunch anymore, etc, and yet. they're still here. they haven't gone away. if anything, we somehow hang out more. so. that's good. it's nice. i like that.
