I can't move, even to reach things in bed, and it sucks
I was always an A-type, power through, top of the class kind of person. I was all fury and fight
Disability turns you into something different entirely. If I push, I pay dearly. Needing to do things & being helpless to do them feels horrible

Dan with our semi-weekly reminder that autism is way fuckin cooler than the measles
It's weird as a biologist to say "ignore the science part" but here we are
Science: Vaccines don't cause autism.
BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. If vaccines caused autism I would still recommend them. Dying of preventable disease is bad. Autism isn't a disease and most of the "bad" of autism is society.

It took me years to admit to myself (and others) that I was disabled. My disabilities are invisible & I used a tremendous amount of energy keeping them hidden
Ableism is powerful, and internalized ableism is a difficult thing to wrestle with
If society were more inclusive, we wouldn’t be so scared

*taps mic*
Therapy is NOT encouraging folks to “reframe negative feelings into positive feelings”.
1. Feelings don’t need to be qualified as good/bad.
2. Reframes only get you so far when the world is on fire. You’re NOT helping anybody therapeutically by “seeing the bright side”.

It’s so hard to even stay informed right now because it makes it nearly impossible to function at my job without bias. This is ridiculous.

Just a reminder that you’re one accident or illness away from becoming disabled. No one is immune to disability. We’re all vulnerable.

I’ve had to take a break from social media because I keep getting filled with despair and a sense of impending doom about the USA and I don’t know what to do about. Continuing to speak out and show love and kindness, but damn this is rough.

If you're ever mad that a young and "healthy-looking" person is using a medical device or mobility aid like a cane or wheelchair.. you need to reevaluate your life.
People have disabilities young.
It's not always visible.
People have flare ups that allow for less mobility and need them.
Fuck 😤
