40s. Disabled. Aphasic. Give me all the calming piano music, books and soft textures.

That Time That The Overcoming Disability Narrative Almost Killed Me: A Thread...

A reminder that children with ADHD become adults with ADHD, and autistic children become autistic adults. You can’t grow out of ADHD or autism. If someone is born with a neurodivergent brain, they don’t one-day wake up neurotypical. They will always be neurodivergent.

[Briana Mills, LMFT ♿️🏳️‍🌈🍉 @theBrianaMills]

Most able bodied people aren’t afraid of becoming disabled because they believe the system will support them. That doctors will work night and day to figure out what’s wrong when they’ll most likely tell you it’s just anxiety.

October 30th. #HelpFolksLive2024 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things may be *getting* better (for some) but they aren't better yet. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. So *now* is when we need to be there for each other.

PSA

An autistic person who doesn't have an official diagnosis is still autistic.

Not having a diagnosis doesn't change an autistic person's needs nor their worthiness of support/accomodations.

It's been about a month since Tinu was taken from us all far too soon. Please don't forget about her and please keep sharing her links!! Her family deserves support!

I just donated another 88$ thanks to sales from the #ForTinu pins and stickers.

With all due respect.

When we’re mourning the loss of a disabled person who died a preventable death, it’s not comforting to hear, “They’re in a better place now.”

The disabled community has lost so many leaders who still belong and SHOULD be here. It’s an injustice. #Grief

As Tinu wrote, "if you would wear a ribbon for a cancer patient, you should be wearing a Mask for Everyone".

We've so close to 50% of the goal, please keep sharing and donating. Every donation matters no matter how small or big. We need to help Tinu's family so they can mourn her without worrying about funeral costs, medical debt, etc. #ForTinu

if you wear a mask when you go out in public, you’re a beautiful, sexy soul and you deserve a forehead kiss and a nose boop through your mask🥰😷

One thing I hate about social media is how fast people move on from things. For example, we're losing momentum on Tinu's fundraiser cause people aren't sharing them as much anymore or donating. Tinu mattered and deserves so much better than this. Don't forget about her.

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

The autistic experience of being a stickler for grammar rules only to realize that judging someone else's grammar is problematic on multiple levels and having to constantly remind yourself that grammar doesn't matter on social media if the meaning of what is written is understood

In a push to save his life, attorneys for #MarcellusWilliams, who faces execution on Tuesday, have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that his due process rights were violated. https://t.co/2QSIFtaNDP

Erik Menendez’s wife shares statement from Erik in response to Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monsters’ series:

“I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent. […] How demoralizing to know that one man with power can undermine decades of progress in shedding light on childhood trauma.”

Lyle has received ZERO violations in prison. He serves in inmate government, works on prison reform, as well as offers support to people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. He’s not just a good person. He’s an amazing person. #MonstersNetflix

“Don’t let your disability limit you” how about you stop letting your ableism limit you. how about that

[🇵🇪✊🏽 Isabella Scarlett 🏳️‍⚧️♿️ @IsabellaScar2]

If you think every Disabled person is capable of working you know nothing about Disability.

And if you frown upon folks who don’t work you’re ableist.
