When you tell someone about being mistreated because of your disability, there is a common response that goes something along the lines of, "But did you explain to them properly why you can't do x thing?" "Did you make sure they understood why you need x accomodation?" "Maybe they just didn't understand?"

For example: "Did you properly explain that the reason you don't do hugs is because of your autism?" or "Maybe they don't really understand how bad fibro fatigue is and that's why they got upset at you for concelling plans."

I hate these kind of responses. They give me the same vibe as being asked, "Yeah, but what were you wearing when you got catcalled?" They put the responsability for the problem onto the person who was discriminated against, instead of the one doing the discriminating. Disabled people should not be expected to go through grueling explanations or justify their needs before those needs are respected.

hi guys, i am unfortunately using this platform here to ask for desperate help.

me and my sister are being neglected of food because my mother is ‘too tired’ to help us when we ask for groceries and / or getting something out to eat.

i have tried looking for ways to get money to help me and my sister but i have a disability & am neurodivergent and it hasn’t been working well.

please, if there’s anyone who knows ways to get cash without being scammed or anything or if you can send money, pls dm me!

the reason i am posting it here and not bigger platforms is because I am genuinely afraid she’s going to hurt me for asking for help, i will delete this post when I’ve found help and pls don’t think im trying to use you guys for money or anything I’ve just been struggling with this for so long and this is my last resort.

edit - if you do send money it doesn’t have to be grand gestures, i am just trying to feed both me and her, please know i am not trying to take all of your money if you’re choosing to help that way. advice or anything is welcome.

update - someone so kindly has made an offer to help! I really appreciate everyone who reblogged and commented, thank you all so so much.

I always find it fascinating to see how people don't get that autism is a disability, one that often doesn't really logically make sense (at least to neurotypicals).

Like, yes I don't like spontaneous plan changes. No they don't bother me as much if I didn't have the day planned out/they are something I find fun/something I find comfort in. Yes, it will bother me if it's something I don't find fun. Yes, I still have lots of free hours on that "fully planned" day that I don't want a random thing I don't have planned in (I literally just planned a walk and staying in my room (safe space) doing nothing (I have planned it out that way because I need to recharge so I don't get meltdown/shut down bc school and all those "free" hours in my safe space prevent me from going insane)). Yes, even tho I have so many "free" hours, I do not want to do that. I don't feel like going to town to buy something because it is exhausting and I will need another two days to mentally recharge (additionally, school is kicking my ass and making more risks of burnouts/meltdowns/shutdowns).

And then when I do something that I have not planned into a safe/recharge day and I manage not to die somehow, then people say "well, it wasn't that bad now was it?", I may say yes and be happy, but I'm masking, even when I'm often not realizing it. Be prepared for a meltdown or shut down, or just generally locking myself in my room the next few days<3 (And then they complain I'm in my room).

And when I say, "it's my autism", I'm getting hit with "you're just making excuses". No Rebecca, I assure you, it is my MENTAL *DISABILITY* (!!) that I'll have for the rest of my life, that *I* have and I know how it affects me. And even then, I don't understand its logic. Because yes, it shouldn't be that big of a deal to go to town to buy something, BUT MY BRAIN HAS IT PLANNED AS IT IS AND HAS PLANNED IT IS A SAFE DAY, AND IT WILL BE LIKE THAT TO KEEP MYSELF FROM GETTING A MELTDOWN OR SHUTDOWN. I WILL NOT DRIVE TO TOWN.

It's a DISABILITY. It DISABLES me. MENTALLY.

I probably have unmanaged and undiagnosed EDS… I love being disabled, but healthy enough compared to my family members, that my issues are never noticed…

Well, except the autism…

I made a video compilation of the Bros being neurodivergent, just for funsies. If I missed any scenes that you think I should include, let me know and maybe I’ll make a part 2 (if I can put together enough clips, so that’s a big maybe).

I myself have ADHD, and I believe Martin is ADHD too, but Chris I’m not so sure about. He still gives neurodivergent vibes but I just can’t pin down exactly what kind of neurodivergent. I could see autistic or OCD or maybe ADHD, or a mix of multiple, but I don’t know. I’d like to hear you guys’ headcanons about that.

(EDIT: I did make a part 2! It’s linked at the bottom!)

Friendly reminder that ADHD sucks.

I am BEGGING people to please use the Oxford Comma, utilize capitalization at LEAST for character names, and to learn the different between apart and a part.

A part = part of the thing

Apart = distant from the thing, not included in the thing.

Jack = Name

jack = tool to lift a vehicle when you have a flat tire, or if using in jack off, to masturbate.

For the Oxford Comma and capitalization, see the pictures below. But ALSO, the Oxford Comma helps neurodivergent folks make SENSE of lists. It’s easier to understand. Capitalization also aids in the same understanding for everything.

Also, since most everybody writes stuff on their phones nowadays, it takes EFFORT to do it in all lower case. Your phones literally do it be default and you must go into your settings and purposefully turn that feature OFF. It’s less of a hassle to just capitalize things and is NOT hard.

everyone give me your weirdest, most insane, out-there, "but I swear it works" tip for cleaning a disaster pile of a room. I need to know.
