#my brain hurts from too much words
To win you has to make everyone else feel worse than you does.
Is a fave game on the innertubes. “My coworker has cancer and calls out of work because she says the chemo is draining her. But I have ADHD and the stress is draining me!” (yes, a people said that).
Stop it.
Stop it now.
You want to know what it is like to live another person’s disability?
No, you don’t. You know you don’t. You don’t want to have cancer. You don’t want to be blind. You don’t want to be deaf. You don’t want to freak out every time someone gets near you. You don’t want to walk with a cane because you can’t trust your legs. You don’t want to need a wheelchair because after a few minutes of walking your legs go ”that’s enough for today” and stop. You don’t want to ride in a wheelchair all the time because your legs don’t do what legs are made for.
You don’t want to be insulted because you need to use a ramp to get to the door of the grocery. You don’t want to be laughed at. You don’t want to take time off work because doctors only work 10 to 4 but you NEED to see the doc regularly because the meds you take need a doc to approve every four weeks. You don’t want to lose your job because you had a meltdown where a client saw.
You don’t want to be in the other person’s place, yet you ridicule them for being in it through no choice of their own?
Stop that shit.
Disabled people have enough shit to deal with without having to fight other disabled people over who has it worse.
Work with us as a team or we all get dumped in the sewer as “burdens”.
You want to rant?
Rant at the people that make things harder for you, not the people that have different needs.
Picking on the other disabled people doesn’t make you one of the “regular” people, it just makes you an asshole. The “regular” people will still look down on you, they’ll just laugh along with you during that moment of you being an ass - then be an ass to you.
You will still get help from the rest of us, because we aren’t assholes.
You’re still an asshole.
