Ohhhhhh! I get it now.

You all think all disabled people have to me on disabled mastodon.

Allow me to disabuse you of that notion.

We are everywhere.

We are Legion.

Uni: if you were diagnosed with ADHD more than 3 years ago you’ll have to get diagnosed again.
Me: why?
Uni: we don’t accept childhood diagnoses for ADHD.
Me: I was diagnosed 5 years ago. At 23.
Uni: yeah. No good.
Me: but... 23... isn’t...childhood?
Uni: 🤷🏻‍♀️

And then the people who have things like blindness that use it to get accommodations they don't need, taking them away and making people with conditions who need them look bad. #sorrynotsorry #abledsareweird https://twitter.com/smithrsarah/status/1107608465323761667

I think about the time an abled random stranger threw my crutch into the pool “to help me swim” a lot.

Another one: #AbledsAreWeird because they think that yelling at blind people makes us understand them better.

But also, fellow blind people, maybe cut out the “I’m blind not deaf!” Line.

Also yelling just makes it harder to hear you.

I once got stuck on a train because I couldn't walk, and a woman kept saying to me "Do you have people you can you *call*?" And I was like "...No?" There's no secret disability emergency services, I don't know why people imagine there are

That time I gave a presentation about disability at a conference, and a person in the audience told me she was offended at my use of the term disabled and knew what she was talking about because she was "an educator who works with the special needs." #AbledsAreWeird

I've found Twitter to be a great place to see the experiences of people different from me. Check out #AbledsAreWeird.
