disabled people!!!
what are some illnesses/disabilities that youve never seen representation for and would love to see?
let me know in replies reblogs asks messages whatever suits you :3
able bodied neurodivergents thinking physically disabled people have it easy will never not be so frustrating to me. “but they wouldn’t treat someone in a WHEELCHAIR like this!!”
yes. yes they would.
hilarity is being yelled at by another neurodivergent person “imagine if someone treated you badly and dehumanized YOU for your spinal cord injury!!!!” but the exact situation they’re describing happened to me already like 15x
Have you ever seen a person with a visible disability and wondered how they got it? Did you see someone with a burn or other scar and wonder what happened? Does what happened to that person who doesn't have part of their leg fill you with burning questions? Well, guess what, you don't even need to ask. You already know.
Does someone have a burn scar? You already know what happened, they got burned. A cut scar? They got cut by something. Missing part of a limb? Clearly they were either born without it or something happened that made the removal necessary. Are they in a wheelchair? Clearly something happened that made them using a wheelchair necessary, whether that something was a condition they were born with or if it's a condition they acquired later in life. You already know what happened. Don't ask.
The who, when, where, and why of that person's disability does not matter, it is not your business. That is their personal medical history and they should not be asked to disclose it to a random stranger who's staring at them like they're a unicorn or something. You know what happened. You do not need the specifics. So don't ask for them.
