Did I have this on my Instagram bingo card of suggested posts? Nope.
But here we are. I've seen it so you get to too.
Iโm finally ready to break w/a best friend who wasnโt able to make the transition from me being able-bodied & able minded to disabled w/cognitive & speech impediments.
Sheโs so smart, I thought sheโd adjust, as I did when she had kids - but as I read up on ableism, Iโve become too aware Iโve been excusing so much of it & feeling privately hurt - for yrs now.
Iโve tried to talk abt it w/her, but I canโt get thru to her that itโs actually real - even tho she was there for all my brain surgeries.

I prefer #Zoom #interviews to face-to-face ones because with Zoom, it's more difficult for an #hr to realize that I'm disabled so when I'm hired, it's difficult for them to immediately fire me because of my #disability so then I have a chance to prove that I'm fit for the #job.
Heads up to my fair skinned friends. The sun is out, birds are singing, bees are trying to have sex with them - as is my understanding.
And you need to put on sunblock.
Straight up, don't ruin the first nice weekend by becoming a lobster. It feels bad and sets you up for a lifelong risk of skin cancer.
As a super pale Irish bloke my go to is Blue Lizard. Found at Wegmans that stuff is amazing. The Bottle even turns color to warn you when you need to apply (and that boy is bright blue).
: It tends to trigger a fight-or-flight response, not to mention passive-aggression.

"Autism advocates also welcomed the study's findings. Ari Ne'eman, co-founder of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, said, "This study represents a significant advance in our understanding of autism. It shows that autism is not a monolithic condition, but rather a collection of different subtypes with different underlying biology. This could help us move away from the idea of a 'cure' for autism and towards a more nuanced understanding of the condition."
Good news!
