About an month ago I leaving dinner with grandparents at restaurant. I have my cane but in so so much pain. I walk by table. And old man from table calls out "how was the war?", "what a poor veteran" and table js laughing. I look younger than my age so was confused how he thought I was a veteran.
They were mocking me. I just realized they were mocking me.
I feel so silly. Never angry but was so confused when they say this. My brain is too slow. A. O.o

Oh and to top it off, I witnessed an incredibly ableist ultrasound tech gleefully boast to her coworker about how she retaliates against patients who ask her questions because she thinks they are doubting her intelligence.
…just let that sink in.
Retaliates, as in purposefully makes things more inconvenient for them by being even more vague and not talking them through the ultrasound like she does with patients who don’t ask questions. She also mentioned that she drags out the paperwork and makes things take longer for patients who ask “how much longer” while in the waiting room. My only solace is that her coworker actually defended the patients by saying that “they’re probably just concerned about their health” but seriously, if your ego trumps your compassion you probably shouldn’t be in healthcare.

So, I was on tiktok today and came across a video on my for you page where this guy (black) was making a joke that he would beat up a kid with tourettes if they said the n-word. You know, just a real funny joke about threatening to assault a disabled child. The comments were filled with things like “I’m gonna beat the tourettes out of them” and a bunch of misinformation that tics are just intrusive thoughts or things you already say, that it had to be in their vocabulary. I made a video of my own in response to this tiktok, basically saying why it was wrong and combatting the misinformation and lies from the comments. I wasn’t harsh at all, but only a couple hours later my video was taken down for “bullying and harassment.” Yet, when I reported this guy's video- in which he jokes about punching disabled kids- I was told there were no content violations. Make it make sense.

short note to everyone who apparently needs to hear this:
If it didn’t happen in front of an audience, they are not seeking attention.
If they have to see lots of specialist all the time, they are not seeking attention.
If they will have to take medication with tons of side effects, they are not seeking attention.
If they had to give up their social life, hobbies and best years, they are not seeking attention.
"You’re just saying this because you want attention" is the worst thing to tell a chronically ill person, terribly ableist and discourages them so much after they finally plucked up the courage to talk about it. Don’t be a dick. Don’t say stuff like this.

tldr: My drama teacher was being an ableist idiot while spreading misinformation about a widely misunderstood disorder to a group of already misinformed students. Fun.
So we were having a perfectly normal drama class, reading through a script.
In the script there is a character, around 12 years old, who as I read the story was seeming really really autistic.
I'm praying that our teacher doesn't bring it up because our class is incredibly ableist (not out of malice but rather but moreso because they just don't understand what mental disorders, especially autism, are actually caused by).
Unfortunately, our teacher decides to say something.
"What do we think about [character name]? Why do you think they're acting like that?"
I think around half the people in the class knew what answer he was looking for, but were too afraid to say it.
Eventually one of my more aware classmates says "maybe he's on the autism spectrum?"
And my teacher considers it, and says "it might be autism, but we don't know that for sure, so what's a more general term?"
No one has an answer, so he tells us "learning disorders".
Autism is not a learning disorder. It is often comorbid with many learning disorders, but it is not a learning disorder.
So I tried to say as much, but was immediately shut down by both the teacher and other students.
My drama teacher then tells us that his 16 year old grandson is autistic. After that he follows with the worst part- "we're all a little bit on the autism spectrum, you know? Just at different parts."
No.
Just no.
Don't minimize the experiences of people who actually have the disorder. Don't minimize the experiences of people on the complete other end of that spectrum by saying "we're all a little bit autistic".
Don't.
And even if you are autistic, acknowledge that there are people that probably struggle with certain things more than you.
Everyone has their own struggles, so don't pretend that you have someone else's.
Okay yeah that's all I had to say bye

I thought about this and the old 00s insanity wolf came to mind so I made this. The best way to deal with an abelist, is to threaten them to go through the same experience.

Whoever plans on buying tickets to attend the Melanie Martinez, Portals concert, don’t use @tickpick-blog (tickpick). They scammed me out of $387 dollars. A ticket was labeled VIP when it wasn’t. They told me it was, so I purchased it. It was not. 😃
That was a lot of money for me. As someone who is disabled and isn’t able to work a job at the moment. I payed that because I thought I was going to meet my idol. I’m severely depressed and that was genuinely the only keeping me going. I bought such a cute outfit that I thought I’d have fun and be confident in. I sold my ticket in the pit for a worst seat since I thought it was a meet and greet and would be better for my feet and legs. I’m going alone too. I really hate my life.
Don’t trust dumb, lying apps like this. Stay safe y’all. Because I’m at the end of the rope rn and I can’t handle this shit anymore. Things always are bad for me.

Not abelists thinking that disabled people recieving a disability 'perk' eg. being able to skip a queue or benefits (that barely even cover the cost of basic living), are worth a) going through the nightmare process that it takes to even be granted disability and b) suffering the actual illnesses/conditions. Like your outrage at disabled people being given an accessibility that you yourself don't need, is mind numbingly selfish and disrespectful.

I hate that I'm going to spend the rest of my life having to adapt and live in a way that makes neurotypicals "comfortable" while none of them ever extend the same courtesy to me or others like me.

I'm watching this specific video by Autism Speaks and it's funny because neurotypicals think like this but it's very concerning because neurotypicals think like this

I had my Ophthalmologist follow up on Wednesday. Due to things out of my control, it had been rescheduled for 8:30 am with a different doctor. Long story short it was a 3hr physically excruciating ordeal and a great reminder not to accept morning appointments. Part of that time was spent in sub-freezing temperatures while I waited for the office to open. The appointment itself was with a Dr who didn’t want me as a patient. He refused to see me for over an hour. He didn’t understand why a young “healthy” person (whom he had never met) would need their eyes checked by an ophthalmologist so he like…just refused to come in on time for the scheduled appointment? The office worker literally had to call him and convince him to see me because he wanted to cancel it even though I was already there (per the request of the other ophthalmologist).
The good news is that my optic nerves do actually appear to be improving a bit, so the damage was most likely related to the anemia from my ruptured fibroid or whatever. The other good news is my lovely Ophthalmologist (who actually asked about my medical history and showed genuine interest in helping me) will be back in a few weeks and I won’t ever have to have an appointment with the abelist Dr again. I wish I could have had a better experience but at least the optic imaging is objective and not dependent on a old white guys 5 second evaluation of someone he’d never met.
And no, I’m not going to report him. It’s taken me days to recover from that appointment and I’m getting so sick of dealing with a corrupt healthcare system. I can’t bring myself to get involved anymore.
