autism/disability
Why is it so much easier for me to say
"I barely have the time and energy to work a part-time job and take care of myself. I don't understand how people can do things like work a full-time job and take care of a home and a car and kids. It all seems completely impossible to me."
than
"I have a disability."
autism/disability
@actuallyautistic So I'm trying to come to terms with this. I think because I'm above water, I can work and take care of myself without regularly needing extra help (or rather, without needing extra help that I can't pay for), I don't feel like I deserve to say that. But I don't know how else to reconcile the fact that I can't afford to do things like protest or lobby or plant pollenizers. So I have to be able to say, I can't do those things because I have a disability, right?
