Normalize disabled people needing support.
Normalize us needing to live with our parents for longer—without accusing us of being “giant children,”. Relying on friends and family to help us with basic tasks like cooking, cleaning, driving, time management, etc. without accusing us of “weaponized incompetence,” or “leeching off others,” and without telling us “your disability isn’t an excuse to burden others”.
@QueerAutisticNerd of course all of those things are tools of capitalist atomization that are wielded especially cruelly when it comes to disabled people.
the campaign to normalize moving out of your parents' house at 18 was a psyop by the housing industry to sell you the "american dream" of owning a gigantic house and filling it with a bunch of junk.
the idea that relying on a support network is "leeching off of others" comes from a coordinated effort to destroy mutual support networks and leave people dependent solely on sources of capitalist income to survive.
all of this is planned. none of it is spontaneous. and none of it is normal.
