Why Do People Think It's Tragic When You Use Mobility Aids? Can't You See That This Is Giving Me Freedom,
Why do people think it's tragic when you use mobility aids? Can't you see that this is giving me freedom, that it's giving me my life back, that without it, I wouldn't be present? Let alone functional???
how can't you see this
it's giving me my life back.
Even when it's short term mobility aids like crutches for a broken bone, it's still giving freedom... it's allowing the bone to heal and for you to live as usual...
let alone people with chronic pain, paralysis, and long term injuries!
without them, I wouldn't be here!
how can't you see that is a good thing!?!? šš

I went on a short walk today to grab a drink from a coffee shop (driving felt like over kill since itās like 3 ish blocks away granted with some decline/incline) and I wore my knee braces and I didnāt need my crutches to do it because of them. Iām so happy that I could do that today. Sure sometimes I need both my braces and crutches but the last few weeks Iāve been doing good with my braces and my cane occasionally! Also I feel like I look cute today so that makes me feel good too.
Also the pants Iām wearing today are from Halara (not sponsored lol I wish I was) and their so many of their wide leg āmagic denimā or whatever itās called pants that I have fit my braces under them so well and and make them barely noticeable which I like. I donāt mind my braces being visible but sometimes they make weird lines and stuff. Or when theyāre showing they have a weird blue line on them (idk why honestly) so they canāt blend into black pants well but they can go under these well. My braces also fit really well over their leggings/tight joggers without moving which is awesome because as a certifiably sweaty guy my braces like to slide and those make them stay. Also just in general since my braces were custom made and molded to my legs they stay on SO much better than any other brace Iāve ever tried
I hate having to plan my outfits around my knee braces
donāt get me wrong I love my braces and Iām so lucky to have them (it took sooooo long to get them since I needed custom ones) but damn itās annoying too. Like finding pants to fit my thighs is hard enough but trying to find pants that fit my braces too or that my braces can fit over is so hard gahhh
Who knows maybe Iāll start posting my outfits to help me feel more comfortable and confident with them

YES not all autistic people have the same symptoms
YES autism symptoms will not present the same way in everyone
YES sometimes different autistic people will have seemingly contradictory needs
NO none of this means that it's okay to act like one autistic person being able to do something means that all autistic people should be able to do it if they just tried harder
your autistic friend who eats vegetables just fine is not a weapon to use against autistic people who struggle with vegetables. your autistic sibling who can do small talk is not a weapon to use against autistic people who can't do small talk. your high empathy autism is not a weapon to use against low empathy autistics. etc etc. what happened to "if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person"
Does anyone else get painful pockets of blood on their bodies? For me theyāre in my inner thighs and hurt like shit.
