I stand in my kitchen wanting to use an appliance I have already paid for. Its smooth touchscreen gives me no tactile information. I use a camera app to find the controls, place markers where I think buttons may appear, and hope the layout has not changed. One accidental tap can take me somewhere I cannot identify or exit without sighted help. A task that should take moments becomes a process requiring concentration, technology, and luck.
Many disabled people know this experience. We become skilled at adapting. We label buttons, memorise layouts, ask friends or family to help with setup, search for accessible workarounds, and learn to make do with only part of what a product offers. Those strategies can be useful, and they can protect our independence in the moment.
Yet the effort is rarely recognised as work. It takes time, money, energy, confidence, and sometimes privacy. Products then appear “accessible” because a disabled person has managed to force a way through, even where the design itself has excluded us from using the product fully and reliably.
The barriers differ across disability experiences. A device that communicates only through sound can leave Deaf and hard of hearing users without vital information. Controls requiring fine precision, force, or repeated physical effort can be inaccessible for people living with pain, fatigue, mobility limitations, or reduced dexterity. Busy, inflexible interfaces can overwhelm or exclude people with cognitive disabilities and neurodivergent people. Voice assistants cannot serve everyone, especially people whose speech is not reliably recognised.
Manufacturers have choices. A touchscreen appliance can include tactile controls and meaningful feedback. Digital instructions can be made accessible. Settings can be simplified and personalised. Disabled people can be included while products are being researched, designed, tested, and supported. These approaches recognise that disabled people are customers, experts in our own access needs, and members of every household.
Sharing adaptations with each other remains important because people need solutions today. We also need to expect more from society, from businesses, and from the institutions responsible for consumer access. When access barriers are treated as individual problems for disabled people to solve, exclusion becomes routine. Naming the barrier, reporting it, supporting disability led advocacy, and insisting on inclusive design can help shift that expectation.

"The difference between their dependence and mine is not that mine exists. It is that mine is visible." This essay reframes independence from the ground up.

#Money, the interesting thing about it is if you #exist in #poverty, you desperately need it for your day to day survival, then if your on the opposite end as in being a multi million or billionaire in reality money means nothing, because everything you own and do is leveraged off of debt that you one don't actually own and second can never actually satisfy, and the rules of the game are very different for those in poverty, and the rules are slightly different if your in the middle, but if your on top, the rules don't apply to you unless somehow your generation and hoarding of wealth imposes upon another top income holder, basically if your in poverty all the way to the bottom end of double digit millions, your beholden to the entire state if it where, and beyond that the entire state apparently is beholden to you and your ability to leverage debt, it is a rigged system of epic inequality and strongly embraces prejudice against the rest of us whom simply would appreciate the basics in life to be readily available without so much turmoil, and stress to our mental and physical wellbeing, money is an illusion of power and has left far to many of us going hungry, literally;

I think many of the difficulties in maintaining relationships as an autistic and/or AuDHD adult have a lot to do with how gender is perceived and the social norms around it. I'm a hijabi Muslim woman in Indonesia. There's a lot of expectation in my own culture for women like me.
My one and only non-platonic relationship as an adult was with my ex-fiancé. He's also AuDHD, like me. But a lot of his issues were more about him being socialised as a man his whole life than about his neurodivergence. So he never had issues with outsourcing emotional labour elsewhere. Since he was engaged to me at the time, I did the emotional work twice over for both of us in the relationship. We came from different backgrounds. He's American. I'm Indonesian. He was racist and didn't even know it. I kept pointing it out to him, but he didn't think he was racist. Clearly, as the only adult and politically literate one with integrity in the relationship, I had to end it.
If there is one thing I learned from my failed relationship and years of therapy, it is that relationships, platonic and non-platonic, don't have to be complicated. In the end, our disability and trauma are our responsibility to manage, and we have to make things work for the relationships that we want to keep. The details of "managing and making things work" are more or less about our communication, our willingness to be in the relationship, and our own principles not to compromise our morality or values (in my case anyway). But that's just me.
Another thing I should point out is that disability cannot be separated from structural issues. In the global power structures of racial capitalism, whiteness and its variants across the globe set the field people are moving in, and when white people don't name that, they end up universalising their experience. I just wish more of them named the exact difficulties they experienced in maintaining relationships as adults. Otherwise, being the dominant group on the internet, either on big tech platforms or on the fediverse, they end up universalising their experience.
It can be alienating when you have been conditioned to think in terms of exceptionalism and hyperindividualism your whole life. Try to be more structurally aware. Perhaps you'll see more similarities with others around you than you would if you avoided naming the exact reasons for the difficulties in maintaining relationships. Working on your trauma and navigating your disabilities don't make structural violence disappear. Poverty may persist when you are surrounded by better company. Racism and structural misogyny may still persist the moment you have a better paying job, a better partner, or are surrounded by better friends.
Stop individualising structurally engineered problems. Start having class consciousness.
But hey, that's just me.

I woke up feeling flat. No spark, or real reason. It is a deep deep heaviness that settles in sometimes. A good coffee outside helped. The warmth, the stillness, the routine of of my Monday. That kind of grounding works better for me than trying to force a mood shift.
Tonight I am attending an online group for autistic people. It will be my first time and I have been looking forward to it. One of the things I already appreciate about the neurodivergent community is how much detail is given about events. People actually explain what to expect and list options. They do not assume you will know. That matters to me as I need to know how things will run before I join in. Unstructured situations are exhausting.
This group sounds amazing! You can join with or without your camera. You can speak, or type in the chat, or you can listen if that is what works. I am highly verbal, but speaking can still be hard. Sometimes the words are in my head, but I cannot get them out. It is not just about anxiety. It is about processing. It is about how much effort it takes to speak clearly when your hearing is unreliable and your brain is working through five layers at once. I have to concentrate on how the words feel on my lips. Reading is easier. I can read a chapter, absorb it, and retain the meaning far more efficiently than spoken conversation.
Today I have been preparing for lectures and tutorials. My autism and learning subject is focusing on different models of disability. I already knew about the social and medical models, but the charity model was new to me. That one is built on pity. It treats disabled people as objects of sympathy. It frames support as something to be given out of generosity, not rights. It highlights deficits instead of needs.
The social model is stronger. It shifts the focus to the environment. It says that the problem is not the person, but the barriers around them. That makes sense to me. Public transport. Education systems. Physical spaces. Social attitudes. All of these create exclusion. But the social model has a gap. It does not fully address impairment itself or the supports a person might still need.
That is where the human rights model fits. It blends both perspectives. It says people deserve access and participation, but it also recognises that disability can bring real impacts and real support needs. It centres autonomy. It asks what the person needs to live with dignity and full agency.
This course is igniting something in me. I am not just studying for the sake of knowledge. I want to do something with it. I want things to change, not in vague ways, but in actual lives.
So yes. A flat morning. A helpful coffee. A good study session. And tonight, I will join a space where I do not have to mask or explain. That is something worth looking forward to.

i really resent the idea the #disabled people "need" ai as an accommodation.
saying #DisabledPeople need to destroy the environment and exploit others as an "accommodation" is a messed up thing to say and not true. disabled people are adaptable and creative. and disabled people who like ai shouldn't shove their usage of it on disability.
#DisabilityJustice doesn't align with the use of generative ai at all.

Available for pre order:A Mad Turn
Edited by Phil SmithWritten by Mad scholars, A Mad Turn explores the field of Mad Studies in theory and practice, and what Mad Studies can bring to academia and to other social institutions. What does it mean to “do” Mad Studies? What are the field’s intersections with disability justice, Mad justice, and gender and queer studies? This book is a bold step toward the Mad Studies yet-to-come—a Mad Studies that Mad people will build, twisting and turning and singing and dancing, a new realm of thinking-being-doing-knowing. Step into it with us.

I envision myself in the streets fighting for liberation for Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, Hawaii, Turtle Island and the global South. As a yt, cis, housed person, I must work to dismantle the ongoing genocide of settler colonialism.
As a disabled parent 24/7 caring for a disabled child, who has chronic, complex medical conditions, I am on a daily struggle to try to keep them stable from ongoing medical crises. The isolation of a never ending pandemic, and societal enforced abled supremacy, create a dichotomy where I must choose between activism or keeping my child alive. Please check societal enforced abled standards of “normalcy “.

Empire of Normality
Neurodiversity and Capitalism
by Robert ChapmanThis is a priority read for me!
I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.

Wow! We just cannot express how grateful we are to everybody at @lucyparsonscent for organizing #LiberationSoup. This was an incredibly well-organized pamphlet and event that not only got a bunch of amazing orgs in one room, but also allowed us to connect with so many great folks in our community to talk about the state of houselessness in Boston since Wu’s vicious attack on Atkinson St. It was also incredible to see past Warm Up volunteers leading new groups in this area! If you reached out to us, we have a whole bunch of messages and we will be getting back to you all as soon as possible. #WarmUpBoston #LiberationSoup #Cambridge #CommunityDefense #HarmReduction #Indigeneity #ClimateJustice #Abolition #TenetUnions #AntiWar #ImmigrationJustice #MutualAid #OrganizedLabor #BlackLiberation #QueerPower #TransPower #DisabilityJustice #Activism #BostonActivism

Mad Crip doula: offering holistic and emotional spiritual bodymind care, mixed with practical and crisis support (and plant medicine). moving from a liberation-centered and anti-oppressive lens. a transition doula with skills in: abortion, death, grief, Madness, and Disability.
https://www.stefaniekaufman.com/madcripdoula
endorsing: non-carceral, peer-led mental health care systems that exist outside of the state, reimagining everything we’ve come to learn about madness, and intervening in systems that oppress, disappear, and kill Disabled and mad folks.
Please Note: I don’t know Them in any capacity and They sure look bad-ass

Open Minded Online
sharing ideas and resources about holistic approaches to emotional and social wellbeingWe are two people who both have a great passion for holistic approaches to mental health. This passion has grown out of our own experiences of receiving traditional psychiatric treatment and finding it lacking.
We believe that it is possible to make sense of intense states of mind often described as psychosis.
