"i am more than my disorder" is stupid because it doesn't work for chronically ill or neurodiverse people
ah yeah i am more than my fibromyalgia that stops me from getting a normal job, ah yeah i am more than my autism that makes it harder to communicate my intention to others irl
these labels are good because it is a warning to other people about my situation, so they don't go blindly starting a conversation with me and confused why this adult is so Odd and why this adult has so much noticeable hand Tremors
@nate I don't walk around telling people I am autistic, because as far as I am concerned it's their fucking job as adults to accommodate anyone. Most people don't come with a label screaming what's "wrong" with them, so why should I?
@ekg you don't have to, but in my case, i kinda use an accessory that is known in brazil to signalize someone is autistic because i do have so much issues that are not visible through texts, it's easier to type rather than walk out there...
