Today I discovered that not only is July #Disability Pride Month but also that we have a flag. It is so well done and extremely meaningful. It was created by Ann Magill, a disabled writer.
The entire thing will not fit into the thumbnail but if you open the image, it will tell you what each color and flag feature stands for. It is also in the alt text if you are unable to open it.
#disabled #accessibility #cerebralpalsy #adhd #autism #OCD #PTSD #bipolar #depression #invisibleillness (& more!)
Even more, there was so much thought put into this that the stripes were even made in such a way that they would not trigger any sort of migraine or seizures for people. They are also set up in a way where they have different luminosity so that people with color blindness can more easily discern the different colors!

A very kind commenter mentioned that it would be nice if people could know the hex codes and RGB coordinates in order to replicate the colors perfectly. I had not even considered this, so I went looking and found the codes. If you'd like to replicate the colors for art or design, here they are! (This link has a lot of other info about the flag too).

I would also like to add that "sensory disorders" is not expanded on much in this chart, but it also includes people with migraines, seizures, and other neurological disorders including but not limited to ones related to pain & visual and/or audio distortions. People with migraines & seizures were consulted whenever the flag was changed in 2021, so that it could be easier on the eyes when scrolling.
Just wanted to add that since many neurological disorders don't fall under "psychiatric"
