Birthing Ableism
3 ridiculous things said to me and Kandace at the hospital waiting for Logan to be born that were really telling about their thoughts about me, her, and our situation.
1: "Do either of you have any children in your family born with blood disorders, mental disorders, mental retardation, or Autism?"
My answer: "I'm Autistic..."
Their response: d@_@b
2: "So...Is thing going to be like an adoption thing?"
Kandace's Response: "Uh...No. This was planned. And we are keeping him."
Their response: "Oh ok. Good..."
3: "So is the boyfriend daddy?"
Kandace's answer: This is my husband...
Their response: "Oh good that makes it easier."
My response: "uh huh..."
