It makes me so sad that so many #disabled people take on society's view of them as deficient, shameful, and deprived. We internalize and individualize systemic #ableism and then blame ourselves for our misery.

It just shows how badly a #DisabilityPrideMonth is needed...

I'm sad for my younger self because I grew up thinking the same way. And indeed even my current self: I'm not totally free of internalized ableism, probably never will be. But at least now I have a better chance of spotting it.

I can't thank you enough for coming out and saying this. It's incredibly difficult to keep that truth in mind when everything everywhere in society keeps screaming the opposite.

We must do what we can to stay grounded, because isolation and constant rumblings of the negative messages will eat even the best of us away. We aren't made for that.
