You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

Dear disabled people in school, please know your rights! If you have an IEP or a 504 plan with your school, your accommodations are not suggestions; a teacher cannot refuse them. If a teacher, coach, or other school staff chooses to ignore or disregard your accommodations, you can and should report them to the school.

The school, under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, will not/cannot tell the teacher that it was you who reported them, nor can the teacher question you or your class about being reported.

Remember it's against the law for the school or anyone representing/working for them to deny you your accommodations, no matter your age or grade, no matter the disability, and no matter how the school is funded.

Just a reminder that although "my body my choice" is about women [edit: and anyone with the ability to get pregnant] this rule also applies to disabled people refusing treatment and aids.

It's my choice I don't take painkillers for my chronic pain and rather just stay home most of the time and skip lectures.

It's my choice I don't use a cane, even though I have access to one, despite the fact I could walk further with it and not limp.

It's my choice I don't do hearing rehabilitation or wear hearing aids for my APD despite the fact I can't hear lectures or my friends properly.

It's my choice I don't go to therapy or take meds for my disorders.

It's my choice and I don't care what you think. It's my right to choose those things. I know my body the best, you have no say in this.

"But you could hear better! You could not be in pain and walk normally! You could be better!" I don't care. I'm fine being the way I am. I know what's good for me. I know painkillers would hurt my body more then help for at least three reasons. I'm not a child, I know what I want and the consequences of not doing something. My health, my rules.

I wish people were more patient with people who have hearing issues. I'm sorry I couldn't hear you but also you need to learn some compassion and patience <3

✨Help out a fandom friend!✨

My dearest fandom folks, I’m sure many of you have already heard about Morgan’s // @maikaartwork awful situation — if not, please read about it here. As a fellow artist, I want to do my very best to help out and raise some money to support Morgan!

I still have a lot of prints lying around that I want to offer for sale. (I haven’t gotten around to ordering newer art as prints, so I can only offer previous items from past giveaways.) Please check out the pic below for all the Steddie prints and postcards. And if you’re interested, I also have some Witcher prints — check them out here.

If you like to buy prints, please hit me up (DMs, Discord, etc.)! I’ll be in contact with Morgan and can guarantee that all the money is going directly to them.

Prices: I want to offer a “take what you want, pay what you want” kind of deal — BUT please pay a minimum of $5 / €5! I’ll cover shipping costs for as many people as I can, but the max I can cover is a total of €30. (For reference, international shipping is roughly €4, and national shipping within Germany is about €1.50.)

✨Even if you're not able to buy anything, please consider sharing this post to spread the word. ✨

If you want to support @maikaartwork directly, you can do that HERE! 💖☕

Thank you so much!

I’m just curious

[shepandem]

Hi there!! I hope that this is okay to ask, but could you talk about what hearing aids assist you with? I'm questioning if they might help me, but idk if I should bring it up with my doctor yet cause I'm still doing research.

How do hearing aids benefit you and your audio processing disorder? :)

Great question! As a brief rundown, for those unfamiliar, auditory processing disorder (APD) is a disorder where the ears hear sounds fine (sometimes better than fine!) but the brain scrambles the auditory information, which can cause a person to mishear words (e.g last week at jujitsu, Sensei said, “Everybody on the mats” and I heard, “Everybody um the nuts”. I figured out what he meant by watching everyone else, because I knew that what I heard didn’t make sense as a thing for him to say!)

APD can also include sensory overload from auditory input, and often makes being in crowded public spaces super overwhelming. Trying to understand more than one person talking at a time, or listening to someone with noise in the background, are also really hard!

These days, there are special hearing aids called low-gain hearing aids, that a person with APD can use to filter out certain sounds, and enhance others. Most hearing aids connect to an app on your phone, and can be adjusted via Bluetooth to increase or decrease the volume and sharpness of certain sounds. The “low gain” means the volume amplification is minimal, for people who don’t have hearing loss. They clarify sounds without just making them unnecessarily louder.

I got low-gain hearing aids about a year ago. I had to go to an audiology specialist to diagnose my APD, since most typical audiologists don’t know much about it and can’t test for it.

When I got the diagnosis, I spoke to a regular audiologist, who set me up with low gain hearing aids. Mine are Phonak. I’ll admit that I don’t wear them as often as I should, because I have sensory difficulties with the wires in my ears, and the part that hooks over the backs of my ears makes them sore. When I do wear them however, they definitely make it easier to understand what people are saying, and I don’t misinterpret them as talking randomly about nuts!

We have a couple bills coming up, the car needs fuel, need to do laundry, but we haven't the funds to do any of that. There are several pieces available in my shop right now, including quilts, paintings, and digital downloads, and all with the option to pay more than my asking pricing.

My husband will be paid on February 20th, but we have bills that need paying before then. He missed a day due to an ice storm rendering the roads too dangerous for anyone.

Some pieces below:

yk something i dont hear about a lot is the exhaustion that comes with being hard of hearing. like. the more tired i am the harder it is for me to hear you. and the harder it is for me to hear you the more energy i use to try to hear you. and that makes me very tired. which leads to it being hard for me to hear you. which lea

I got new compression gloves and ankle sleeves and I actually slept through the night for the first time in months.

My mobility aids now include:

- a purple foldable cane

-a blue walker with a glow in the dark dinosaur basket I made (2 wheels in front)

- a blue rollator (4 wheels)

- a blue wheelchair

Hell yeah! I can leave my house. I got a disability lawyer. My PCP confirmed she understands I can't work and is willing to help me get disability.

Hi, I’m trying to put together a compendium of information and tips from disabled people on how the world can be made more accessible to you. This includes any and all disabilities, whether they be physical or mental. If you consider yourself to be disabled, your input is appreciated.

If you’re not disabled, but would like to help get more information, it would be highly appreciated if you could re-blog, and if you wanted to tag some disabled friends that would be great, too. Even better actually!

(under the cut: further elaboration on what this would include, some sample questions, and the questionnaire and info sheet)

I’ve seen lots of posts from disabled people on small things that would be helpful for them (for example: not putting lots of emojis for people who use screen readers) and would just like to compile all of it in one easy to share document.

I would also love for it to include a resources section for learning more about different disabilities. Things like books, movies, videos, and other posts that do a good job of explaining things to people.

some questions that would really help if they were answered are:

What are some ways that general people on the internet could make your life easier?

What are some ways that the general population could make your in person life easier?

What are some ways people you know personally could make your life easier?

What are some things you really dislike people doing regarding your disability?

What media do you think does a good job representing your disability?

Do you have a social media account concerning your disability that you’d like for me to include in my section of further resources?

Do you have any positivity you would like to share about your disability?

answer as many or as few of these as you’d like, and this is of course non-comprehensive, so feel free to include any other information that you’d like to.

If you think you’ll answer all or most of these, I’d appreciate you filling out the survey linked at the bottom. It will have two sections. The first asks for information on your disability (for organization purposes in the accommodation sheet), and the second asks for actual accommodations.

If you only wish to answer one or two (or have questions/comments/concerns), you can answer in the comments, reblogs, or my dms.

Within he information spreadsheet itself, some disabilities will have entire sections, others will be categorized into sections depending on what makes the most sense. This has nothing to do with perceived importance/severity of the disability, merely with whether the information is generalizable to other disabilities in a category :)

It is also currently in the workshop stage, so if you have any tips on ways to make using the spreadsheet a more enjoyable experience, I'd love that too!

(sorry if this reads like a corporate survey btw. I really just wanted to include as much info as I could)
