super simple ways to be a (better) disability ally!
If you have any friends or family who are disabled or have some sort of medical issue, do your research on it! Learn the causes, affects, and if you too are close ask how it affects them personally and how you can best support them.
Research dynamic disability!
Learn how to support people during medical episodes. Some research ideas are autistic overloads, anxiety/panic attacks, allergic reactions, diabetic emergencies, fainting, seizures, etc.
Learn the basics about commonly misunderstood things. Ambulatory wheelchair users, tourette's and tics, nonepileptic and/or nonconvulsive seizures, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, invisible disabilities, etc.
Learn basic ASL from deaf people. There are lots of different resources to learn it free online, by deaf teachers.
Learn what words people use about disability are actually slurs. Stop saying them completely and call others out when they do.
Include any disabled people at your school or workplace. Don't treat them poorly or other them because of their disability. If you know what their disability is learn the basics about it, if you don't then don't ask.
Don't ask strangers about their mobility aid, scars, medical device, disability aid, medical condition, etc. unless it's actively directly affecting you or they've said you can ask them questions about it.
Follow the stories of disabled people in your interest areas! For example read a book with good disability representation, follow a disabled beauty influencer, or learn about paraolympians.
Call out ableism within your friend groups when you see it. Misusing psychological terms, using slurs, using disabled people as the butt of their jokes, excluding disabled people, being rude to disabled people, etc.
If you have any more ideas please comment or reblog w/ them!
And always remember the most basic part of being a disability ally is just listening to disabled voices.
