Theres Something About Being Disabled And Needing To Sit Down Constantly In Public Spaces That Makes

also remember that there is no enforcement office for the ADA like there are for other similar government acts! the burden of enforcing ADA is placed entirely on disabled people and our lawyers.

the ADA simply defines grounds for lawsuit. that’s all it does. the ADA is the bare. fucking. minimum.

happy 34th anniversary of americans with disabilities act (ADA)! remember ADA is bare minimum!

its not even on the internet bc im scared of that but irl im like. hey new friend do you want to know all my kinks and my entire medical history? if i don’t tell you i’m lying to you

the psych facility I stayed in at 17 didn’t give me a room due to my being a wheelchair user.

i was forced to sleep on an air mattress on the floor in the dayroom of the psych facility because they were “afraid i would fall”.

the dayroom was the “hub” of the facility. i had to try to sleep while patients were getting prepped for admission at the desk only a few feet from me. while people were getting blood drawn, meds administered, etc. i barely slept.

they also didn’t let me bring my own wheelchair in, and made me use a hospital wheelchair which was not fit to my orthopedic needs. my shoulders still ache when i see one of those fucking rust buckets.

psychiatric care is not safe for physically disabled people. if i have another mental health crisis, I will choose anything over going back to one of those places. i would rather die by my own hand than go back there and be subjected to that kind of treatment again.

inpatient psychiatric care is typically only for physically nondisabled people.

psych facilities will often simply turn you away if you have mobility aids or specific medical or access needs they are unwilling to meet. i have also heard stories of them doing things like taking away people's communication devices.

institutional psychiatric 'care' is a mixed blessing at best, but since it's what we have, it should be available to everyone who needs it. people with non-psychiatric disabilities are more likely than average, not less, to need this type of care. but it is often not available for us.

really wish able bodied people would stop infiltrating SCI communities to ask about their back pain. that’s not what a fucking SCI is you two-legged fuckwit
