Hey, guess what? If someone posts about their illness or disability, that still doesn't give you the right to know what meds they're taking.

A reminder that disabled people do not owe you their medical history or diagnosis.

An autistic cinema manager who quit when his employer was unable to guarantee him two days off in a row following a months-long dispute over rostering arrangements has secured €12,000 in compensation for disability discrimination

The complainant's wife gave evidence that her husband's manager said she "did not consider autism a disability, but a 'superpower'"

If you’re holding a press briefing or giving a speech, why would you NOT want the maximum number of people possible to understand what you are saying? https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/trump-lawsuit-american-sign-language-white-house-press-briefings #DisabledRights #Ableism #ASL

It’s wonderful to have the story told first hand from the four students who led the protest. Each were very different characters. But you see their passion as if it all happened just yesterday.

What amazes and troubles me as a British person who is ‘hard of hearing’ and a kid growing up in the 80’s, I knew nothing of this amazing story in #DisabledRights history until tonight.

And why is #Gallaudet still the only #Deaf university in the world?

When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.

Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.

Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.

Government assurances aside, people who receive AISH fear loss of supports
