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 I can only dream of that. Trauma drive me out of my childhood home and I fear a lot of disabled children experience the same. My kids can live with me for as long as they want! I love them and will defend them and their needs with all I have!

@looneybyron 💕I’m sorry you had to face that, but I’m glad your kids have someone to count on. I know this is sadly too common for disabled people.

I’ve gotten very lucky about the people in my life but not everyone has.
