#is this ableism

i see the glasses disrespect is through the roof today

Is this ableism? I, really don't know but it feels weird.

Talking to mom: "yeah I got diagnosed with ADHD and I'm getting tested for ASD soon"

Her, in an accusatory tone: "you're happy about that aren't you"

This sounds ableist, from the context given- why be accusatory when your child is getting diagnosed and learning about themselves? You deserve support and I'm so happy for you in getting diagnosed :))

the other day i was being forced to wash the dishes regardless of me communicating multiple times that its a sensory hell and i made a comment to my dad that i could never work in food business

(too loud, too fast paced, mean people, touching old food is bad HORRIBLE textures, the smell of the food makes me nauseous)

and he got all snarky and was like “no you could! you just dont want to”

ok

well

in theory i COULD and i told him that BUT

I would have massive breakdowns every single day in and out if work. i would be so exhausted every single day after work that i would never do anything for myself all my free time would be just recovery. Literally going to a restaurant as a CUSTOMER is too much for me

and he was just like “you dont know, youve never worked a real job”

?? daycare attendant isnt a real job?

First of all:

RUDE. I will not accept this slander and defamation against me and my people from WebMD (of all people), a chronically outdated resource on mental health etc.

Second:

I do my best with diet and health, and I'm sure many other schizospec do too. Not really my fault for believing all the marketing propaganda that margarine was actually good for us and never really changing it.

Only just learning now that margarine (including my Olivani Lite spread I've been using for butter spread all these tears) may not be the best for you.

Any dietary advice is welcome atp, just don't try and make me go on keto bc I haven't the capacity (nor finances) for that (as yet). Plus highly-restrictive diets make me feel uncomfy for Reasons.

Further ramblings below

For context where all this came from: I was inspired to examine some aspects of my diet (and look into my butter substitute) by Living Well with Schizophrenia's latest video this morning (3 hrs ago) as the video "I Don't Want to Do Keto - What else can I change in my diet for better mental health?" features her asking questions, of a psychiatrist, on the topic. I've been learning some new things from it. Still haven't finished the video. Mayhaps I shall share a post linking to it next, and hopefully that will help Lauren's channel. I have been very curious how her journey this year on medical keto pans out because there will be things we can learn from it, even if we don't go onto full medical keto diet ourselves - due to many valid reasons like disorganization, energy, and access issues, or just don't want (or is triggering) to take on a fully restrictive diet.

Always good to be humbled and reminded to never be hasty to claim you know it all, because you really will be constantly surprised and amazed by just how much more you can know and learn. You really do learn something new every day.
