oh yeah acting like being disabled is a terrible thing. this is specifically about the people who say "ADHD/ADD/Autism isnt a disability >:(" bc they think disability means smth bad. it doesnt. im physically and mentally disabled and when u say shit like that it hurts to hear

this kinda goes hand in hand with telling disabled people we cant live happy lives and that u feel bad for us ... ew

making fun of stutters/tics
assuming tics/stutters are drug related

muting this bc a lot of notifs make me anxious and panicky but yea learn how to not be ableist :)
