#Disabled friends with tons of food #allergies and intolerances: there is an app called Fig that allows you to select your allergens and intolerances and will let you know what foods are safe to eat with the scan of a barcode. #MCAS#EhlersDanlosSyndrome#GERD
I will always find it hilarious when other spoonies try to invalidate your DOCTOR GIVEN diagnosis because your symptoms don’t match their’s. I posted a meme about OH that I experience with my #POTS in a fb group, and I’ve gotten multiple comments invalidating my diagnoses. #NEIS
If your professor is Timur Kuran at Duke University, and you're disabled, you should know that he says in this tweet he believes many students are faking disability for "status."
Even in classrooms meant to better serve disabled students, #ableism runs strong. As disability pride month comes to a close, this year, we need to take on the ableist education system to ensure disabled people get the education they deserve in a safe space
I just saw a comment from a “SpEd” teacher on a tiktok of a mom who lost her #disabled child saying that she “often has dreams of her students without their #disabilities” and I have thoughts, a 🧵:
Having this mindset as a teacher who works with disabled children is ableist and she should not be serving disabled students. There’s nothing wrong with being disabled, and having this mindset makes us think you don’t appreciate us for who we are.
@MissFuzzball Minebis idiopathic too! I’ve just been misdiagnosed for my entire life. My GI specializes in motility so I’m hoping we can figure out something that works.
When the new #hEDS character on @GreysABC faints the same way you did from #POTS and hits the exact vertebrae you did during said fall. It’s like my life is being reenacted 🤪
Although it’s #DisabilityPrideMonth and I’m happy to be apart of this wonderful and strong community, after receiving official diagnoses of things I have suspected for quite sometime, I find myself mourning the person I was before becoming #Disabled. 🧵
It can happen to anybody at anytime and that’s why we have Disability Pride Month. Disability will affect everyone at some point in their life. Whether you need crutches after breaking a leg or you need hearing aids as you grow old. 🧵
It affects everyone. Although abled people set up and rule our ableist society, they fail to realize they will become disabled at one point in their lives. #Accessibility benefits everyone because of these reasons.
