When Disabled People Talk About Fakeclaiming, I Think Most People On Here Think We’re Talking About

This people, need to hear this more often. Like thank you very much you know i have autism so you're treating me kindly. But why do you have to be a prick to that other girl who does the same sh*t i do but without the label.

The label only exists because I want it to mean something. If i didn't tell you i was autistic, would you have just been a prick too to then?

Why this double standard? Like if i don't like something someone did, it's not because of that that I'm a prick to them. Yes i will dislike what the person fid and maybe even tell them but that doesn't give me the right to disrespect them. Like they're still a f*cking human being.

Being accepting of autistic people includes being accepting of "weird" or "annoying" people who you don't know are autistic, BTW. We don't just spawn into existence with a list of diagnoses tattooed on our foreheads. If you claim to be accommodating of autistic people, but then get pissed off when someone shows a symptom of autism because your default assumption is that they're just an allistic person who's annoying you for no reason, then you aren't actually all that accommodating of autistic people.

it shouldn't be a controversial take but:

disabled people are allowed to hate being disabled

The Pepe Silvia meme of a Caucasian man holding a cigarette while looking like he’s lost his mind, pointing to a large conspiracy board.

Written in red in random places and terrible handwriting is autism, bipolar, adhd, hypermobility, anxiety, depression, PCOS, ptsd.

In brighter red is meds then mystery illness with six exclamation marks after it.

Disagree? Respectfully, you can argue with a wall🫶

I've been itching to draw Coco in one of her special outfits for so long 🤧 something about the fashion in this manga I swear....

For real.

abled bodied people also need to understand that, for physically disabled people resting isn't "free time" that you can use up with assigning us tasks or duties because you're busy. it's an essential part of managing disability and some of us have a hard limit that we're avoiding by having days where we do nothing.

one time when I was a barista I was telling my coworker that I suddenly really missed cows. I used to work with cows all the time back home and then I moved away and suddenly it had been four years and nary a cow.

15 minutes later this old guy came up to the counter with his address written on a napkin & he said “me and my wife have a whole herd of dexters and a couple of new calves. come on over any time”

so after work I was like ok fuck it & I drove to the address and I parked at at the gate & I walked down the driveway to the barn and this woman was like “oh my husband told me you might stop by! come see our cows” and she introduced me to every single cow. made my whole week.

thank you cow couple

"You're a nice guy. Any girl would be lucky to be your girlfriend."

"If someone doesn't like you, there must be something wrong with them."

Stop. Just fucking stop.

Are you trying to turn him into an incel? Because that's how you create incels.

I get it. He's upset because people don't like him just because he's different. You want to reassure him. But this is not how you do it.

Being disliked is a fact of life. People have every right to dislike him. He also has every right to dislike someone.

If you want to reassure him, you can instead remind him that someone disliking him doesn't mean others will dislike him too.

You can also inform him of how it's acceptable to treat someone who you don't like. It's acceptable to not like someone, and there doesn't even have to be a good reason for it. But it's not acceptable to cause harm to them, to recruit others to not like them, to openly declare dislike for them when they aren't doing anything that requires liking them, or to exclude them from public places.

"Actually many disabled people do contribute to society" is not a great argument against eugenics, by the way.
