  1. I'm going back through my slides for Saturday's workshop on #internalizedableism, and adding a few things, and, if I do say so myself, it's going to be damn good.

    I'm really proud of the content I'll be delivering. I think it's going to be really useful. What I wish I had a few years ago!

  2. Distancing yourself from the #disability community, when you’re obviously disabled or a person with a disability IS caused by #ableism & internalized ableism I’ve seen this frequently in the #stuttering community & the #ADHD community #InternalizedAbleism #StutteringAwareness #StammeringAwareness

  6. TW: Mental Health and Imposter Syndrome Discussion

    I still have really bad impostor syndrome when it comes to having disability accommodations at school. I'm in my 30s, yet... here we are.

    Didn't get the grade I wanted?
    My inner voice: “Yeah, too bad. Imagine how bad it could have been without accommodations. You're not good enough.”

    Sees gaps in my accommodations compared to my needs:
    “See, you're totally faking it. You're asking too much. You don't need it. You could do all of this without the crutch of accommodations."

    Worried I won't get accepted into the Honours program:
    "Yeah, they have requirements that are ableist, I see that, but that just means it wasn't made for people like you. Be happy you're even going to get a degree at all.”

    Why. Am. I. Like. This. ?!?!
    Internalized Ableism.
    Yep. I know. Yet, it persists.

  7. For some reason, it’s always hard for me to internally justify taking NSAIDs for minor aches.

    Like, when the pain is obvious (I mean, overwhelming to the point I can’t quite think of other things) - I just take a pill, and it goes (if I didn’t miss that window during migraine onset when it works), and I keep going.

    But this minor pre-pain, as I internally define it, that thing which is a bit more than just inconvenience and a bit less than something I am ready to slap ‘pain’ label onto - it is enough to make me if not quite miserable(as I can ignore it to some degree), but eats the spoons for sure - idk why, but I kinda hesitate to admit it needs to be addressed.

    My kid keeps reminding me that “The normal amount of pain is zero” and tells me to take a pill and stop suffering, but for some reason I always feel guilty if I do, so I keep trying to ignore it and hoping it will pass when I eat, when I drink, when I take a walk, when I go to the bathroom etc. It does sometimes go(even if temporarily) or gets lighter after doing one of those things, but mostly it doesn’t and gets worse with time(and when it gets past certain mark, I’d give up and take the pill - but that may be after hours of that mild suffering)
    I wonder sometimes what is it that makes me hesitate. Is it the false hope? Stupid childish “If I don’t acknowledge it, it ceases to exist?” Internalized ableism?

  8. Huuuuge groan when the affinity group for disabled scientists is named "differently abled".

  9. I think in order to feel #DisabilityPride, a person needs to have a workable answer to this question: What does it mean to believe in oneself _and_ accept one's own limitations?

    How do YOU relate to the things you're bad at but have to do anyway? Or the things you feel judged for not being able to do at all?

  10. Being #disabled does NOT make a person pathetic! Aw HELL no. But the cultural messages say otherwise & I'm really struggling with *feeling* pathetic, worthless, etc. I don't think we can talk about #DisabilityPride without also talking about #DisabilityShame.

  15. #RandomThoughts
    Is it internalized ableism that I intentionally chose the selfie that I thought looked the most autisticy for my profile pic on this account?

    Is it ableism that I even have any notion of what autism looks like?

    🤔

  16. @bobreeduk @actuallyautistic no confusion here, I can resent self-imposed structure just as much. It's the #InternalizedAbleism that makes me think I can tolerate it
