Are you being ableist without realising?! Welcome back to another episode of Disability Education 101! I’m Chronically Jenni, and I’m here to tell you all the things you never learned about disability. Ableism isn’t just someone saying a slur or blocking a disabled parking bay; it shows up in loads of different ways, and not all of them are obvious. So, let’s break down the different types of ableism you might come across: Systemic ableism is built into structures ,like inaccessible housing, long waits for benefits, or workplaces that don’t accommodate disabled people. Interpersonal ableism is the stuff people say or do, like ‘you don’t look disabled’ or questioning someone’s mobility aid. Internalized ableism is when we start to believe those messages, feeling like a burden or trying to hide our needs. Benevolent ableism sounds kind, but it’s still harmful, like calling us inspirational for just existing, or making choices for us instead of with us. Invisibility-based ableism is when people doubt your disability because it’s not visible and assume that means it’s not real. Medical ableism happens in healthcare when symptoms are dismissed, everything gets blamed on one diagnosis, or our quality of life is assumed to be poor. It’s when they prioritise a ‘cure’ over support and management Cultural ableism is all around us, in film, TV, and media that either leaves us out or only shows harmful stereotypes like portraying disabled people as villains, victims or inspirational tropes. And structural erasure is when disabled people aren’t considered at all, no ramps, no captions, no access. Ableism can be loud and obvious, or subtle and baked into everyday life, but the more we name it, the more we can challenge it.

People can mostly always pick out the things someone with a disability can’t do but why think about that when you can look at the things they can do. Having a disability may make it longer to achieve something but they can always do it with the right support. Being disabled doesn’t mean you aren’t enough , it means that you do things differently and unique that makes you enough. #disabled #disabilty #disabilityrights #disabilityinclusion #disabledartist #disabilityjustice #disabilityadvocacy #advocacy #bekind #beyou #beyourself #loveyourself #keepgoing #loveandpositivity #reel #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #reelviral #reelsinsta #trendingreels #trending #trendingtopic #quote #quotes #quoteoftheday #quotesdaily #dailymotivation #motivation #inspirationalquotes #changingfacesuk @adampearson @catrinpugh @dredf1979 @pauuzzo @scldnews @lovelifedisability

Being disabled is hard and it’s okay to say it out loud 🫶🏽 #amputee #disability #disabled #Godisgood #wheelchair #prosthetics

it’s here. a community for disabled creatives. after fighting my place in the disabled community for most of my life, something magical happened. i walked into a room with 50 other disabled women. and my anxiety dissipated. and turned to… ease. i suddenly realized: these weren’t the kind of friendships i was scared of growing up, they were the ones I’d been waiting for. i thought – how could I recreate this feeling? so i’ve spent the last year saying yes. to every gathering i could host, attend or be involved in that brought disabled community together. and the more i hosted, the more people started asking “where can we sign up for these events?” it made me realize, it isn’t just me that needs this kind of community. it’s so much bigger. so i listened. and sat. and got to work. and Disabled& was born. Disabled& hosts community-driven events made for us. whether it’s sharing an intimate dinner with new friends, swapping insight with fellow entrepreneurs, or mentoring the youngest members of the Disabled& community, i’m excited to save you a seat. xx april link in bio to join us 🧡 #disabilityawareness #disabilitypridemonth #community #representationmatters #limbdifference #inclusivity #storytime

There is life after disability.Haters will hate and comment terrible things that disabled people should be put down. But that’s far from the truth. Many disabled people live wonderful, fulfilling lives. Some are even happier than typically developing children. Some disabled kids live in a world where they don’t care what people think. Some feel things deeply. Adapting to life with a disability isn’t easy. But there are ways to cope with limitations and overcome challenges. It won’t be easy, but most of the time it’s worth it. There are fun adaptive activities. There is happiness. The hardest part of me doing things is actually chronic illness. With disability I can do adaptive sports but chronic illness means I have fatigue, heart rate issues, dizziness, etc. that’s what really is the more limiting factor. But we still find fun things. #Fun #activities #sports #life

Things Disabled People Are Expected To Do That Non-Disabled People Would Never Be Asked Here are things disabled people are expected to do that non-disabled people would never be asked. Once you notice them, you cannot unsee them. 1. Prove our disability on demand Non-disabled people are never asked to list symptoms, injuries, or diagnoses just to be believed. Yet disabled people get questioned about mobility aids, parking, time off, and adjustments as if our lives are court cases. 2. Be grateful for the bare minimum A lift that works, a ramp that is not blocked, a toilet you can actually get into. These are treated like luxuries, not access. No one else is expected to be grateful for simply being able to enter a building. 3. Plan everything around other people’s comfort We are expected to avoid being an inconvenience. To take the longer route, or the harder option, so no one has to move a chair or hold a door. Non-disabled people do not have to apologise for existing. 4. Justify needing rest or support Non-disabled people can say they are tired and nobody asks for evidence. Disabled people say they are tired and it becomes a debate, a judgement, or an accusation. 5. Accept reduced opportunities with a smile Jobs, events, education, social plans. Disabled people are expected to be understanding when something is not accessible or equitable. As if we should be grateful to be included at all. 6. Teach everyone else about disability for free We get asked to explain policy, access, language, and lived experience at any time, even by people who could easily look it up. Non-disabled people are never expected to be walking encyclopaedias of their identity. 7. Stay positive so other people do not feel awkward We are expected to soften the truth so it is easier for others to hear. Non-disabled people are allowed to have bad days without being inspirational or disappointing. What else would you add to this list from your disabled or chronically ill life? Your insights help people understand the reality behind the expectations.

Friendly reminder that these are 2 very different situations. Being disabled means that you are probably never going to "get better'. This means you probably have to go through the dehumanizing process of applying for PIP. You have to forever live with the hatred the society has for you. Being unable to work or missing a lot of work days due to illness or disability. Fighting for accessible equipment so you can live / work independently. The list goes on! So please stop trying to compare these situations 🩷 #disability #disabledlife
