    i am so much less bothered by the labels and words that people aim at me rather than the actions they take that shut me out of the every day world.

    You have a gift for articulating what PWD systemically go through on a daily basis.

    Accept people who refuse food. Not everyone is able to eat everything you can.

    Doctors shame and verbally abuse those of us with chronic illness and pain. I honestly don't want to exist anymore.

      I'm so sorry to hear but there are lots of great doctors out there. so hopefully you'll find a good one soon. you don't deserve that.

      Dude I feel you. It's so freaking unfair. It doesn't matter what I say, what proof I have or if I bring an advocate. I'm constantly treated like im making sh*t up, and brushed off like oh it's just ur feelings, ur feelings aren't fact or reality.

      Thank you for your perseverance. So many seek community. I hope your community embraces you like they should in future while you embrace the others who don't feel like they belong.

    so true!!! there is no disability books EVER.

    I loved this discussion on ableism. However, based on her language and dismissal of the other isms, i can tell she voted in favor of banning abortion rights, as well as shouts ALL LIVES MATTER. It would have been beetter if she had acknowledged intersectionalities of disabled people. Because the disabled can experience racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia all on top of ableism.

    • @luckystar6871

      nah i don't think so. parents/"caregivers" actually do kill their disabled children. google "disability day of mourning." and i don't think she was dismissing anything else? just pointing out that disability doesn't get the same treatment and it's true. and that makes people uncomfortable.

    That's awesome 😍😍

  • @brandiekirkpatrick8767
    @brandiekirkpatrick8767 Před 2 lety +7

    She had me until 7:35... "Parents are killing their own children because of their ableist perspective on the quality of life".. The word choice "killing" in particularly bothersome. Which makes this video unusable for my purposes.

      consider how many fetus are aborted because they have Downs and other developmental disabilities.

      It's true, though. That happens all the time.

    • @frenchdeer

      but it happens... the truth hurts, but it doesn't make it any less true...

      There are children murdered because of it, so shut your yap about that. The hate group “Autism Speaks” had commercials where a mother spoke point blank about doing that to her autistic kid.

    I worked with the late great Dr. Margaret Condon, professor of psychology, who was a quadriplegic and worked on drafting the Americans with Disabilities Act. She would deplore what you are saying in this video. She hated the way that some people, like you, tried to instill the idea of victimization into disabled people's minds. She often said "stop being a crybaby" and she lived what she said. She NEVER felt sorry for herself and certainly didn't encourage it in others. It's not that she didn't recognize obstacles, she just got on with overcoming them.

    If you chew your resentment like a cud, you can make a career from it.
