you know that dysautonomia feeling when you're sitting down feeling vaguely dizzy and lightheaded but it's mostly fine, but you know that it's going to be a problem the moment you try to get up

I know this might make people mad, but absolutely refusing to even attempt to treat your mental illness, and instead just endlessly inflicting your unmitigated episodes on the people around you, is abusive. Your loved ones are not stress toys that you can just squeeze every time you feel bad. It is bad if someone says your repeated behavior is hurting them, and you take no steps to change. I know damn well that you can’t always help how your brain acts, but I’ve also spent a lot of years trying to stop my spiraling brain in its tracks, work on strategies to calm down, and consider the impact I’m having on others, because I grew up in a household with people who have the attitude of, “I have the right to consume all the attention in the house and drain your energy every single day because I feel miserable, and you’re the bad guy if you say that I’m making you feel bad and that I need to get help. I can treat you however I want because of my anxiety.”
#disabled adjacent#i have a sibling who refuses to learn strategies for their mental illnesses#please learn strategies for both you and people around you

Y’all (especially disabled peeps) do NOT interact with the person commenting ‘message me’ on all of these disability posts. I messaged him ready to waste a scammers time but instead I got threatened and cussed in Yoruba (spoken in Nigeria).
#i reply to the comments calling them disability fetishers#but i dont leave my posts to do it#glad to know they are willing to stoop that low

TERMINAL ILLNESS IS A DEATH SENTENCE.
CHRONIC ILLNESS IS A LIFE SENTENCE.
I read that yesterday and cried.

I’m not against educated self diagnosing especially since that’s how most people get official diagnosis
Being able to self diagnose as autistic is a privilege high support needs autistics don’t always have that option some autistics need a full time caregiver some autistics need to go on disability you need a official diagnosis to go on disability
It is also a privilege to be able to afford a official diagnosis
Also high support needs autistics who need support from the government are already on a list
Stop encouraging people to not get an official autism diagnosis
#autism#im self-dxed for various reasons#and one is that it doesnt ruin my life enough to be called a disability#so i havent seeked out a diagnosis#i completely agree with op and there are people who need to chill out#no autistic is better than another#and we all need to support each other

Disabled people with potentially hereditary conditions aren't being "irresponsible" and "immoral" if they want to have kids. To insist that a certain marginalized population inherently "shouldn't reproduce" regardless of individual circumstances is literally eugenics.

Obviously respect my fellow disabled people who hate being told "Get Well Soon", but I've always taken it as "I hope your flare ends soon", "I hope you reach your baseline soon", "I hope you can reach a point where life doesn't feel like a fight for survival".
For me, being told to get well soon means "I hope you can feel better soon."
#disability#disabled#chronic illness#this might be because i find it hard to find ejergy to fight random strangers#or i just dont care#but i will smile and take it how i want to take it regardless of how the other meant it

shaking myself (very gently) . being in pain takes a lot of energy!!!!!! being in pain is exhausting!!!!!!! you are not lazy or weak because you need to spend so much time resting, this is your body coping with how much pain you’re in literally 24/7!!!!!!!!!

adhd awareness is great. what isn’t great is when an even more uncommon, less socially-acceptable disability (that less people are educated about) is being discussed, and 35 carbon copies of the same adult-diagnosis, liberal, white ADHDer appear from the darkest depths of the bushes to verbally clobber you with never ending “BUT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED ME??? WHAT ABOUT ME? THIS IS ABOUT ME NOW!!!!” approximately 15000x. call me mean but I don’t like that. I don’t think it’s helpful

Being moderate-high support needs online is so rough at times. Not only are the voices of low support needs individuals amplified more, but you will at times be genuinely fighting for your life against said low support needs people for having the audacity to exist next to them. I'm sorry my existence makes you feel less valid or whatever but that's a you issue, not a me one. And no I am not somehow more lucky than you for being completely unable to work, I've been told so many times that really I only don't work because I "don't have to" and that somehow if I did (which I do, I DO need to work, but they always assume I don't) I'd be made to suffer through it like them which is NOT true, and also zero work means zero money which means zero independence. I get that there are unique and challenging struggles you have to face being in the work place and that you are genuinely struggling under the weight of it all but for the love of god stop trying to compete with me and just listen for once. We're much stronger together than alone.
There's also the idea that people with moderate-high support needs are believed more or treated better and that is not true at all. I get that you're told this lie by society at large to justify their ableism towards you but you will never be disabled enough for them. You will never be severe enough for them. Their standards are impossible to reach for ALL of us. Don't take your rage at the system out on us because we are not treated better than you and all you're doing is fracturing the community more.
So glad I haven't had that experience on tumblr yet, tiktok was genuinely insufferable to log onto day in and day out, the lateral ableism on there is BAD

"Im disabled and using ai to make art saves me spoons"
Yeah im disabled and thats still not an excuse. Making AI art isn't a right lmao. You don't NEED to make AI art. You can save even more spoons by NOT using ai.
Its just so depressing seeing a disabled person support a machine that was made to fuck the environment and steal from others... like how do you live a disabled life and are okay with using something like that. You, a disabled person, who society routinely abuses and attempts to erase, are supporting a machine made by the same people who abuse minorities like us. Like the same billionaires training and creating ai are the same people voting to take your rights. How do you not see how tainted it is???
Taking a pencil and paper and just scribbling angry lines is more art than ai could ever do.

dear autistics who
white
low support needs
not need 24/7 support
can work independently
can pay taxes
language privileged
intellectual & cognitive privileged
who can fit in societal definition of useful & productive (yes, even if hard)
when fight back against eugenics & ableism, you NEED to fight alongside, fight with, n fight for autistics who
radicalized & POC
from places of world where there critically lack autism knowledge n support
visibly autistic
higher support needs
need 24/7 care
can’t work independently or even work at all
can’t pay taxes
nonverbal, nonspeaking, minimally verbal, without functional communication, or cannot communicate via language at all even AAC
w intellectual disability or cognitive disabilities
who cannot fit into society definition of useful n productive, no matter how hard we try
because we always are & always will be primary target.
because we most vulnerable most marginalized within our, OUR community, which you belong in.
because once they finish us off you won’t be spared.
