Ablism is something that happens a lot. Especially with those with physical challenges, and those who are neurodivergent. You may hear people say things like, “you need cured. But you don’t look autistic. I don’t think you should be a part of this because people will not want to have you in their group because of your appearances.” Or, they look at you being neurodivergent or having a physical challenge as a disease. I’m here to tell you, those ablistic comments don’t help us. They only harm us. Every person is different, no matter what they have or don’t have. It should be up to the individual person on what they want in their life. It shouldn’t be up to the world to ell us how we should live our lives, how we should look, how we shouldn’t be autistic or blind or whatever you have. It shouldn’t be up to someone else to tell us that we just need to be cured and then we will be all better. That should be up to the person themselves. But at the end of the day, self love and self acceptance, as well as being understood is the thought that counts. Doubting someone’s conditions are even there, or saying that they’re just a burden on society because they act different is never the answer.
