“They can’t do that! The ADA protects you!”
People love to say this when you tell them you’ve been discriminated against or mistreated for being disabled
Just because someone technically shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean they won’t
Dealing with discrimination is a part of being disabled

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Many disabled kids would benefit so much if parenting classes that focus on disability inclusion and the harms of ableism were widely available (so, free) to their parents.

Autistic liberation isn’t about being palatable.
It’s about refusing to contort ourselves into shapes that make everyone else’s life easier while destroying our own.

Help doesn’t magically arrive when you become disabled.
You’re not assigned a caregiver or given more money based on severity.
Many need more help than they’re getting.
If you’re struggling tonight, know you’re not alone.

I hate that in local news, sometimes the most common type of disability story will be the very, VERY rare cases of disability fraud.
Disabled people live interesting lives and are impacted by so many things, yet the focus is on these rare events.

I want to live in a world where even if there's a "cause" of autism found, the answer would be "so?" But we don't live in that world, and that includes people on all parts of the political spectrum.

I’ve never met an autistic person whose “behaviour” wasn’t completely logical once you understood their needs, their history, and their nervous system.
We’re not confusing.
People just aren’t listening.

Poverty and disability often go together.
It’s difficult to “try harder” your way out of financial problems when you lose your health.
The pull yourselves up by your bootstrap mentality goes out the window if you’re bedbound.
It can happen to anyone at any time.
They aren’t moral failings.

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.
