hellsheep2014:

it would be nice if people making those ‘if you ignore someone with a personality disorder when they ask for attention, you’re an ableist’ posts would realize that there are people who are habitually unable to interact and socialize with other people and, my god, those people are disabled too

Tbh all those posts that are like “you have to be 100% accommodating of everyone with a mental disorder” creep me out. Like even the most mentally healthy people have limits to their ability to be supportive and when u include other people with disabilities it gets even more complicated

Eg I that post that’s like IF SOMEONE WITH MISOPHONIA ASKS U TO STOP MAKING A NOISE U MUST DO IT IMMEDIATELY EVEN IF THEY YELL well I had a roommate last year who was really sensitive about chewing noises and let me tell you as an ed survivor someone yelling at you to stop eating is extreeeeemely anxiety provoking

Plus tbh I find the whole concept infantilizing. Like of COURSE you should always try to be understanding of other peoples disabilities but like most of us are able to understand how our behavior affects others and don’t need to be coddled 110% of the time
