7) Languages Are Hard To Learn So The Fact Youve Done That Is More Than So Many People (especially American

7) languages are hard to learn so the fact you’ve done that is more than so many people (especially American English speakers) can say and also I don’t think I know a single English speaker who speaks “good” English it’s a MESS of a language

8) (this part goes for those who are native (English) speakers too and aren’t “good” at it it’s okay.) this language makes like no sense and the mechanics are difficult to get a handle of (especially if you have any kind of disability that inhibits language or speech or whatever) there is absolutely no reason to apologize for that but that’s not to say that if you don’t have a disability that makes it harder you have to apologize. there is never a reason to apologizing for communicating!!!!

my blog is, and always will be, a safe place for people who are not confident in their english speaking abilities. you will never be judged or mocked here.

I mean like...yes, it's okay to like kids' media regardless of if you're autistic or not. No, of course your sole argument for why it doesn't deserve mockery shouldn't be "but they might be autistic". But I don't think that means we need to or should deny that there is somewhat of a connection, or that this mockery is often rooted in ableism.

Like the autistic people who stick to or fixate on children's media are not some made up stereotype, that's a real thing and there are various reasons that can happen, such as those stories being easier to understand socially, cartoon faces having more exaggerated expressions, etc. And then there are things like comorbid intellectual disabilities and other developmental disorders.

I cannot tell you how many teenagers I knew in special ed loved media that was aimed at much younger audiences. Way more than in typical mainstream classes. That's not an accident. And it's not something we should shy away from accepting or try to distance ourselves from. Like yeah of course, it's not all of us. But if you want to seriously discuss an issue of judging people for not acting how they're expected to with regards to their age, you can't deny the role of ableism against developmental disorders.

i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.

its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.

“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

Our system is broken.  It is cruel.  It is dehumanizing, degrading, and it’s vile nature is so, so unnecessary.

We need universal healthcare today in America.  We needed it 40 years ago.  It’s cheaper, it’s simpler, it’s more efficient, it’s more effective and it is so, so, so much less cruel than what we have.

Universal Healthcare Cost in America would be cheaper by trillions of dollars

The US has worse life expectancies than socialized healthcare countries

We have worse generalized healthcare results

We have the most expensive care

Our system is so cruel and unique that doctors from other countries literally can’t believe what happens here

I can’t tell you where or how to activate to help solve this.  There are politicians, groups, and activists pushing for this in so many ways.  I can tell you when, though.

Now.
