There seems to be some confusion out there. Hope this helps. 😉 #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #disability #disabledisnotabadword
1: A Light Blue/Blue figure says, “Hey, so if you could not describe your Autistic person as your ‘ASD child/partner/client,’ that’d be greeeaaat. Autism isn’t a disorder, and we’re not disordered people.” 2: A Yellow/Green figure enters: Yeah, and don’t call it a disability either. We’re not disabled! LB/B: Actually, autism IS a disability. Plus, ‘disabled’ isn’t a bad word. Not everyone FEELS disabled by being Autistic, and that’s fine. But some people do, and that’s also fine. 3: A Pink/Magenta figure enters: Yeah, and besides, we’re only disabled by a society that’s not made for us! LB/B: Wellll, that’s only sorta true. For some Autistic people, the way they’re treated or their environment might be their biggest setback, but others would still be disabled no matter how accommodating the environment. 4: Y/G: Okay, this is way too much nuance for me. Isn’t there a simple, good/bad binary way to put it? LB/B: Best I can do is ‘Disordered=Bad, Disabled=Neutral/Subjective.'

Fuck that shit. Team IFL all day! #Saytheword #Disabledisnotabadword

I know there's some debate about PFL vs. IFL even in the disability community, but Lord help me I will NOT forgive anyone who says "differently-abled" or, god forbid, "handicapable"

This is a great tiktok about why folks should stop using the phrase "Differently Abled." I post this because I had to have this talk with a friend a couple days ago so it's timely and maybe some of you might need some extra ways to help convince friends why, even though you already understand.
