Do you know that non-speaking autistic children and adults understand the words you say? Yes, so don't talk in their presence like they don't. And don't baby-talk to them or ask stupid questions. It is condescending, demoralising and deeply damaging to their sense of self worth.

At the point where every time people ask what I do for a living it’s 1. Live with a chronic illness and then 2. Then I have a job. So I’m working about 80hours a week.

I love seeing Blue Sky constantly eliminate the ableism and toxic medical dismissal and harm that many approaches in medicine and therapy have done. I feel more informed than I have been in a long time 🖤

"What is often difficult for able-bodied people to understand is that adjusting to life as a newly disabled person isn’t just a matter of finding the right care...Although those are crucial necessities, becoming disabled is a total identity shift."
I Wanted Someone To Teach Me How To Be Disabled. Turns Out There Are People Out Here Doing Just That.
