Here's some common phrases that perpetuate #ableism... Especially because these terms/words are commonly used as "disses" or something negative.
#DisabledIsNotABadWord! Please do not say differently abled.. special needs.. etc.. #JustSayDisabled :)

It can feel extremely invalidating for #disabled folks to have their illnesses talked about so lightly, especially from folks who don't have those illnesses.

Okay.. but why?
TLDR: When we use these words/phrases as "disses" or something negative, we are reinforcing the idea that being #disabled, or being compared to #DisabledPeople, is bad. Which isn't true!!
📢BEING DISABLED IS NOT BAD📢
