An ableist encounter

#autism #ableism

[@EiderDuck-Coot]

Personally, I encountered the most ableism from people that claimed to be supportive

Yikes… that sounds so frustrating. I could feel myself tensing up as you described the experience. Good on you for leaving the meeting. I don’t think that person understands what a support group is. It’d be one thing for another member to make challenging remarks (granted annoying) but the facilitator doing so is just inappropriate in my opinion

Thanks, yeah it was very inappropriate and quite shocking what she said.

Happy belated 35th Birthday. It sounds like you were given some nice presents.

Thank you.
