If you got a GED/dropped out of school (or homeschooled) due to disabilities, please like or reblog.

I want to see how many people aren’t getting the help/support they need from the educational system, thanks.

love how sometimes i’m like “oh, i should put this somewhere safe so i don’t lose it and know exactly where to find it later!” and about a month later i’m standing in my ransacked room trying to get into past me’s mindset like some kinda amateur historian on one of those history channel treasure hunting shows trying to get into the mind of a nineteenth century pirate to figure out where they hid some possibly nonexistent apocryphal loot

Me: please, I beg of you, just let me do this one task, if we just get to work it will only take 10 minutes tops—

tadhdfw you hate the “ooh! a squirrel!” stereotype of adhd but you have literally interrupted yourself while speaking to point out butterflies, cool clouds, flowers, or dogs on a daily basis before

I’m so tired of trans people having to be experts at fucking everything from a VERY young age (medicine, feminism, sociology, history…) In order to justify our existence to cis people.

to everyone who’s first experience being touched sexually was abuse or r*pe: that was not your virginity. your virginity is something you give consensually and something that is your choice. it is not something that can be stolen, only given by choice.

ok to reblog

Me @ my 2 brain cells: why can’t you guys make serotonin

My 2 brain cells:

Me: what I went through wasn’t that bad, I’m pretty sure it can’t even be considered traumatic

Me: *has a vivid nightmare in which I relive the situation*

Me: *wakes up feeling disoriented & exhausted, as if I just came out of battle with my subconscious*

Me:

Two things I hate that people say to other people that been through really traumatic events in their life:

1) You survived and your stronger because of it.

Why did I need this to be stronger? I survived but at what cost?

2) Pray for the person who hurt you.

It will be the coldest day in hell before I ever do that.

I think that one of the biggest problems with ableism in America is the sinister “good samaritan” disguise it takes.

So much of the ableism we can observe comes from “good intentions”:

- trying to spot “fake” service dogs

- leaving passive aggressive notes on cars that people think shouldn’t be parked in disabled parking spots

- the entire mess that is the assisted suicide movement

- posting “inspirational” photos, videos, and stories about disabled people without their express permission

- using terms like “special needs” and “differently abled”

- trying to cure conditions that are not inherently harmful/fatal like autism or adhd

- overriding the autonomy of disabled people

The arguments I see for these always come from people who refuse to believe they are perpetuating ableism. They insist that they are trying to help disabled people and that these things are “for their own good”.

But they just perpetuate stereotypes and existing power structures already stacked against us.

Listen to disabled people on disabled issues first and foremost. Neurotypical and able-bodied people cannot be seen as the authority on a community they are not apart of.

executive dysfunction is so weird because I’m sitting here and I can quite easily switch between tasks as long as they’re all on my laptop but it took a lot of effort to get my notebook out of my bag which is right next to the chair I’m sitting in
