it seems there isn’t any meme that Denny’s won’t try to jack, so let’s make the new meme “John C. Miller ,CEO and President of the Denny’s Corporation, is a capitalist running dog and his wealth must be seized and redistributed to the people” to see them try to use that for their marketing

the reason abled people are praised for being kind to the disabled is because it is not normalized to be kind to the disabled.

it is seen as an achievement for an abled person to “look beyond” the disability and treat the disabled person like a person, because it is not normalized to treat the disabled like people.

Ableism is so bad in our society that we dont even see the disabled as people or as equals and thus put the abled on a pedestal for even acknowledging the disabled as people.

and yet people still tryna tell me that Ableism isnt real, or it isnt as bad as another form of discrimination, or that its just some tumblr fad.

and people do this because the ableism is so bad in our society that not being able to see the disabled as people who suffer and have struggles, as people who have emotions and feelings, as anything other than “not abled”, is seen as normal.

dehumanization of the disabled is by far, more normalized than the humanization of the disabled.

and thats just so fucking upsetting.

So, after my last post went viral I got a lot of messages and some of them were really lovely but the rest seemed to suffer from “not all abled people” syndrome. So I’d like to say something.

Yes. Yes all abled people. All abled people are like that. You’re like that and I was like that before I got on wheelchair. We’re taught to be ableist from birth and we don’t realize that so ALL OF US are inherently ableist.
The point is not to say you’re not like that but to listen to disabled people and challenge yourself to think despite what you were conditioned to! Do you think I don’t have a moment of hesitation before talking to a Deaf or blind person? Or anyone who has different disability than me? Sure I do! Cause I don’t know jack shit about their struggles and if what I do is not ableist to them! But the point is to go out there, and listen! Just apologize if you accidentally did something bad and go! We know you’re not a Bad Evil Person bro.

And if your first reaction is to say we’re wrong and Not All abled People Are Like That™ then maybe you should think for a second why do you do that

Something I’ve noticed.

if you ever need to quickly get a list of autism symptoms and examples of neurodivergent behaviors, just go ask an acephobe what’s most “cringey” about the subculture of inclusionism.

“they get so obsessed and make really weird jokes about cake and dragons, making flags and acting really embarrassing.”

like. criticizing abnormal humor or a “childish” demeanor, criticizing individuals for being extremely passionate and involved in their interests to the point where neurotypicals can find it disconserting…

half the posts mocking inclusionist humor and behavior are mocking neurodivergent behaviors. it’s a rerun of seventh grade for me tbh, people mocking my autism constantly without even realizing that my autism is what they’re making fun of. they’re just mocking how weird i talk! how strange my humor is and how unrelatable the jokes are!  mocking my lack of social tact and difficulty adhering to social etiquette!

it’s a form of subtle ableism, finding any young person who gleefully and passionately says something innocent yet embarrassing (like “WHAT IF WE HAD A CAKE PROM FOR ASEXUALS ON THE MOON!” or something of that caliber) and then humiliating them on a public platform for sadistic enjoyment.

it’s a demonization of neurodivergent behaviors, a well-oiled machine designed to publically humiliate the opposition by targeting our high percentage of autistic (or otherwise neurodivergent) individuals.

it’s ableism. it isn’t overt, the words “autism” aren’t said, but it’s functionally identical to targeted abelism.

The microlabels thing is also common to autism and other neurodivergencies in my experience. Like, wanting a separate word for every tiny discreet concept, wanting to qualify and quantify some experiences as distinct from others, is a thing with autism for me. 

Another thing I’ve seen them making fun of is not ‘getting’ sarcasm, or mocking people for “not knowing it’s a joke.” (Usually after telling a shitty bigoted joke)

The crytyping jokes and in general mocking people for getting upset easily are also major ableism

exhibit B: “you’re so gullible lmao”

exhibit C: a group of exclusionists literally came into my a-spec discord server and created a fake profile who’s entire purpose was to mock my autistic traits and special interests.
