Disability is a Spectrum

A little half-vent piece about how my disability can feel.

There's always a misconception about disabilities, especially invisible ones. Some days, I can walk perfectly fine without a need for a cane. Other days, I crash to the ground like a puppet with their strings cut, which makes Sandrone an apt self-insert.

Doctors, at least the ones in the US, are the worst people to have these misconceptions. If you're disabled, but having a good day, on your disability check-up, you might as well be fucking yourself over, because they'll see your good day and decide you don't need help anymore, or something akin to that. They'll happily take your money though.

A friend of mine has to wear themselves down to prove they're disabled, then they're out for the week recovering. Luckily they have a support system.

A while back when I was ignorant to the inherent injustices of our medical system, I personally tried to get my disabilities checked out, but all that they said was I was "high-functioning". The doctor/psychiatrist never really spoke to me, he just talked at me, you know, the girl that loses speech sometimes. But because I couldn't express myself well, I got a misdiagnosis, which has been fucking my life currently.

Bah, it's a fuckin mess.

Whatever, I'm done now. I do hope you enjoyed the art
