Ableist in Ally Clothing

Sometimes ableists can be very blantant about it but other times they can be like a wolf in sheep's clothing and pretend to be allies or advocates. Examples: "oh my nephew has that and he's nothing like you." "I have friends with that and they can do x amount of things." Somehow invalidating your experience is okay, because they have a friend/or loved one who struggles with the same thing. It has the same energy as someone saying something racist but it's "okay" because they are friends with POC. It's not okay, what you're going through is valid, and your feelings are valid. You do not have to be disabled to experience ableism, and that behavior is never acceptable. #neurodivergent #neurodiverse #Neurodiversity #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders #IntellectualDisability #IntellectualDisabilities #LearningDisability #LearningDisabilities #Disability #ADHD #audhd #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AspergersSyndrome #Aspergers #SensoryProcessingDisorder #Anxiety #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #MentalHealth #Spoonie #MightyTogether #CheckInWithMe #DistractMe #Dyslexia #Dyscalculia #Dysgraphia #Dyspraxia #TouretteSyndrome #Hyperlexia #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria #RSD
