y'all i'm using my cane for the first time in my new school
PSA if someone is using a cane, don't touch their cane unless they give you permission bc i set my cane by the door of the classroom and this girl grabbed it, carried it to the front of the class asking whose it was
like don't do that? that's not yours. if you damage it, i'm kinda screwed. + you're buying me a new one.

sounds like an entitled kid story oof

idk if i'd call her entitled but definitely ableist ,, my whole morning has been like this

i don't know if alopecia counts as a disability
but i can wear a hat in school
sometimes people ask me why and i say a medical condition
and they're like, "what medical condition?"
IF I DON'T SAY THEN DO YOU THINK I WANT YOU TO KNOW!?!

my little brother has CP and developmental delays and literally all his classmates love him??? when he was in kindergarten this eighth grader invited him to his freaking birthday party
he's been kissed by at least 3 girls. he's in second grade.

wow your brother has more of a social life than i do ravens and i'm a seventh grader

oof lmao

Does bad OCD count. I can't write because of it.

I walk with a permanent limp. Most of the time it's mild but sometimes when my knee gets agitated, be from the weather, atmospheric pressure, or exercise, my limp becomes very apparent. I used to be on crutches through the worst of it, and god damn I absolutely hated it when people closed the door on me, take my crutches without asking, or fucking hide my crutchesand force me to hop around to look for them. I especially hate the last one…those pricks.

I get it. People don't take real OCD seriously because they think it's simply something that bothers you and you can look away from. I really can't write or do other simple things. Even walking isn't normal for me.

I have really bad lungs, but that's about it. Also, at one point the brain doctors thought I had a tumor.

how have I not been here yet???
Hi, im Hobbit, im a mess. lol
I have CP, Fibromyalgia, Autism, ADHD and anxiety, im a mess.
Anyway, I finally got myself a rolling backpack so I don't mess up my back and it's the best decision I've ever made. though i've started to realise how inaccessible some classrooms are just based on how difficult it is to get around chairs…. like If I can't get through there, someone in a wheelchair certainly can't and that ain't right.

I'm sorry Hobbit. I'm sure it is hard for people with physical disabilities.

oh wowie i forgot about notebook sorry yall
i didnt use my cane yesterday but my friends / bf fussed at me so im using it again today because im in a lot of pain and man. people are awful.
im sorry to all yall who are dealing with nasty ableism, i'd fight em if i could

I understand. I'm not physically disabled, but sometimes there's negative bias against me.

yeah, being mentally ill and physically disabled, theres definitely bias against ppl with mental stuff ,, im sorry hon i hope it gets better

People don't realize that mental illnesses can be as bad, if not worse as physical problems.

OCD is overlooked because I physically can, but I won't. I'd hurt myself just to "fix" a small detail.

,, idk if id go so far as to say they're worse than physical problems, but theyre definitely as important and majorly overlooked

I wouldn't say all are worse, but some are. Just like some physical problems are. It just depends on your condition.
