It bothers me the way society

Have benefited from Disabled people, Nuerodivergent people, and Mentally ill people.Yet can constantly disrespect or erase parts of these peoples stories when it suits them

Let’s Use Van Gogh for an Example as I think about him a lot

Vincent Van Gogh

Was Schizophrenic ,Autistic, had Major depression, and had Addictive tendencies.

If we like Vincent Van Gogh as an artist

We should want the following things as we would’ve wanted it for him;

•Respect and Full Acceptance of Schizophrenic Folks

• Challenging the narrative that certain Nuerodivergences or Mental Illnesses “Make.” People violent. This is Beyond false.

•Only 10% of Murders are committed by Mentally ill people the other 90% well …. (Nuerotypical.)

^ this matters false narratives on mental illness lead to social exclusion and High suicide rates in our communities.

•We should want whatever can help folks with Addictive tendencies survive and not be shamed for a literal medical condition.

•Full Respect for Developmentally,Physically,Invisibly and Intellectually disabled minds and bodies.

• Meaning we trust Disabled folks and treat them like adults trusting their lived experiences

Etc.

So how can we benefit from the work of Nuerodivergent Individuals (Including Disabled BIPOC who make up 50% of all police killings?)And yet allow for the mistreatment of those in society in the same position as the people we consider “Beloved.” Or “Iconic.”

We disrespect Autistic/Disabled Individuals in three ways

•We assume that they are not equally as intelligent and undervalue their ideas, thoughts,feelings and existence.

•NT society assumes only The only way a person with a Disabillity, Nuerodivergence ,Mental illness is important is; if they contribute to Consumerism/mass Production, they can be used as an inspirational object or an object of Pity or we only value them if we can compare them to savants and geniuses

Folks who are just existing are valid no person needs to meet conform or colonize into Eurocentric social skills in order to meet your criteria for societal acceptance and the expectation that you need to “Understand.”/ “Make sense of” People is putting undo stress on folks.

Example

Look up life expectancy of folks with different Nuerodiversitys

It’s all too young to sentence a community to death by forcing them to meet unnecessary standards,

Lastly

you fetishize Disabled And Autisric Geniuses but over demand our productivity exhaust us.

Then you disrespect our requests regarding work we do

Example of this disrespect

Einstein told you NOT to use the atom bomb

Yet America used it anyway

Too many people died from work that wasn’t intended to be used and was specifically requested not to be used

If you want to fetishized disabled and autistic geniuses do not weaponize us for you’re eugenics based narrative.

All our disabled peers are equally as valuable as us and you disrespect All of us when you disrespect them you cannot pick and choose which members of our communities you deem of value

We are all Valuable.

If you treat our work as valuable then you must treat us and our communities/cultures that way as well

“I remember experiencing my first intrusive thoughts at the age of eight. I remember having to do certain things to ‘prevent’ bad things from happening to the people I Ioved. I remember the weight and confusion of these unwanted & scary thoughts, the heavy responsibility carried on the shoulders of child who hadn’t even reached double digits yet. No one told me that this was OCD.⁣ 

I started experiencing symptoms of OCD as a young child, which became severe at eighteen. But I wasn’t clinically diagnosed until the age of twenty-one. I spent five years in a special kind of hell, experiencing all-consuming intrusive thoughts & false memories of a debilitating & taboo nature. Much of this time was spent trying to fight an incredibly complex, multi-dimensional and stigmatised disorder in secret, and without access to the necessary treatment.”⁣ ⁣ From @_amelia_alice_ 💜 #NoOneToldMe

ADHD isn’t just struggling to focus / sit still. There’s a lot more to it. Here are some (but in no way all) of the lesser known traits associated with having ADHD.

I saw this on Pinterest and I had to ss it. i don’t know if I’ve mentioned on this account before, but I’m a very religious person who’s had a very religious upbringing. and I’ve usually had a pretty weary stance when it came to the topic of abortion. many people argue that it’s taking a life, which is obviously a very debatable subject. but for me, besides that arguement, I believe that we have agency. for me, looking at it from a religious standpoint, God have all humans the gift of agency so that WE can decide for OURSELVES what we do with our life. especially for my religion, we focus a lot on the importance of being able to make choice for ourselves, and I think taking away a woman’s rights to her body is a gross abuse of what God meant by giving us the ability to make our own choices.

if you found my page on explore, give me a follow lol! @shookfem
