No one wants “a life on benefits.” No one “chooses” not to be able to work. People get sick. And then they are forced to live in grinding poverty whilst exhausted and in pain - and watch rich, healthy ministers knowingly lie about the easy life these scroungers have chosen.

it is very clear that the vast majority of people still genuinely think that adhd is just a minor annoyance and it’s like no my brain physically never stops, i am unable to do things, i am constantly overwhelmed, it’s not just “no big deal” !!!!!!

🚝It’s been a very long time since I rode BART and now that I live close to a station it has been liberating to get around the Bay Area without asking people to drive me around! Freedom, baby!

Reminding my #ActuallyAutistic comrades that you aren’t broken, too much, loud, quiet, overly dramatic, or other words thrown at you by others. People tell you those things because of their own inability and intolerance, their own lack of desire to understand you. I see you.

It would be nice if someone else other than disabled people would also advocate & fight for access, accommodation, rights, freedom & justice for disabled people. Unfortunately, too often, disabled people have to wage this fight ourselves. If we don’t do it, it will not get done.
