people have said good things about you behind your back, without your knowledge. people have shared their love for you with others.

Executive Functions and Schizophrenia

Even if you don't know someone personally, everyone could benefit from increased awareness of how the disorder affects daily life, not just focusing on hallucinations. It can be hard to find simple resources - or accurate resources at all - so I like this simple and less academic article since it explains the relationship between schizophrenia spectrum and executive functioning issues without causing someone to tune out and TLDR.

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.

a gentle reminder that you just need to make things a tiny bit better for your future self. reading one page, writing one sentence, getting half of a task done, it’s still good.

Being told that you're a burden for being disabled in a "kinder" way than that is so disheartening but also being told that it's wrong to disabled.

"You shouldn't be having all these appointments at this age."

"You need to get off these medications. You're on way too many."

"You're too young to be having all these issues."

Do you honestly really believe that I want to be going to these appointments? That I want to take a pharmacy of medications? That I want chronic pain, itchy gross rashes from allergic reactions, mood swings, paranoia, delusions, debilitating migraines, brain fog, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, etc?

I have lost my teen years to this and it's stealing my adulthood and independence for me.

I cannot drive, I cannot walk long distances, I cannot participate in activities that I used to love like skating.

It's so unfair.

the vast majority of violent crimes in society are committed by neurotypical people.

the media will try and have you believing that it's only ever people with mental health conditions, especially schizophrenia, who commit violence, but that is nothing other than ableist nonsense not backed up by fact whatsoever.

statistically, society should be more scared of neurotypicals than anyone else.
