Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth. A thread about pride stolen & reclaiming it.

When I discovered the social model of disability, I didn’t ‘look’ like your (prob inaccurate) image of a disabled person. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. The social model made sense. (1/15) I wasn’t broken. Society was. Square peg, round hole. It’s that simple. It’s also more complicated. Disability is many things. Remembering the simple truth helped me get through days full of exclusion & ableism. The social model gave me back my eroded pride in who I am. (2/15)
