THIS IS YOUR REMINDER

Disabilities aids can be anything that helps you

ANYTHING

shiny rock stops panic attacks? AID! Allergy meds so you don’t sneeze? AID!

wheelchair? AID!

Stuffie that helps you? AID!

Glasses?! AID!!!!

CROCHET?! YEAH THATS AN AID TOO?!

NAME YOUR AIDS IN THE COMMENTS

I use an AAC, communication cards, noise canceling headphones, a SSD(stuffed service dog), a pain stimulator fidget, normal fidgets, loom knitting, braces, cane, anddd ESSAs!!!

YALL GO

id genuinely like to know, is SSD (stuffed service dog) a genuinely hurtful term? ive been told by pinterest users it is (despite having lots of reasons to call my SSD an SSD) in very nasty ways so i never listen but id love to be educated by someone who isnt calling me ableist or telling me to end my life over it :)

reasons i call Ares an SSD under the cut:

-i am a 17 year old male, and the term ESSA is mainly associated with 10-12 year old girls that mainly roleplay with their plushies. while i do this from time to time i mainly use him as a tool, not a toy (i know there ARE adult individuals who have ESSAS and they are valid too! i call ares an ESSA as well! i just personally enjoy the disconnection from the term ESSA which doesnt feel as serious)

-i am highly interested in service dogs as a whole and am currently attending school to learn how to train them (calling ares an SSD fuels my hyperfixation)

-ares is a genuine piece of equipment given to me by my psychiatrist and therapist of 2 years, and he is so important that when my high school did not allow me to bring him into class in 11th-12th grade, she gave me a medical excuse that forced them to allow me. he is a piece of medical equipment (her words)

-no i am not mocking service dog owners or calling my ares a service dog, i use the term to elevate his status from ESSA. he is not a stuffed service dog because he is a service dog. he is a stuffed service dog because he is a STUFFED DOG that serves me. difference.

-i genuinely need a service animal but as you probably know they are insanely expensive. calling ares an SSD instead of an ESSA kind of soothes that pain

i am not using the term SSD to be offensive or "be different", i use the term SSD for myself

All the changes I've made to Newt since I got her!

Before and after for comparison

To not clog up anyone’s feed with photos

No photo for this but I added more stuffing to her and added a slight weight, as well as putting some protection and health sigils in her stuffing before sewing her back up

Markings! I wanted her to be one of a kind, and I also just really like orange so I added more orange

Paw pads! Thought it would be fun and once again makes her unique. All the beans are pawsewn (handsewn) by me

Bendable ears with wire I put in, making them able to stand up and look cute

We are having trouble scheduling our hobbies. Ok so:

School is about 7-4 (about 5 on a club day)

But we still wanna do

ASL(Daily practice 30 minutes)

Train Shiloh (Still trying to figure it out but 15 minutes to an hour and some tips)

Loom Knit and relax (Minimum of an hour)

Not to mention we have to keep our social life active so (hour+ of texting/calling)

WHAT DO I DO?!

CALENDAR HELP????

Ok chat I need some help

I wanna add stuff to Shiloh’s harness but I’m not sure, I also don’t know if I need to switch to a different bag

Here’s what I have so far, any ideas of keychains or stuff I can make to make it more accessible for my SSD? Ask below if your unsure of what my disabilities are!
