#.. which it is also incredibly ableist to claim your space is accessible when its only accessible to abled NDs

the fight for accessibility doesn't begin and end with making a space accessible for people with sensory issues. making a space accessible for abled people with AU/HD is not the end-all-be-all of disability rights.
i'm not saying this is a bad thing. i have autism and greatly benefit from stimming being normalized and having dedicated low-sensory spaces.
but how am i supposed to access those benefits when your building has a staircase up to the front door and no ramp access? if i can't even get my proverbial, or literal, foot in the door, what use does you being sensory sensitive have to me, or the wider disabled community?
claiming your space is "accessible" when you don't even have the bare essentials to make your space accessible to a wheelchair user isn't accessibility. it's virtue signaling.
