actual ableism:
- someone being denied a job because of their mental health status
- an autistic person being denied a life-saving surgery because they’re autistic
not ableism:
- someone using the word ‘derp’ while making a silly face
- calling someone a ‘fucktard’
- calling someone stupid or lame or unintelligent or an idiot or a moron
- ‘someone I talked to today didn’t notice my invisible disability and assumed I was able omg how dare they not read my mind and accomodate me, I refuse to speak up and inform others of my needs because why do I have to pander to able people I’m going to make an angry post on Tumblr now’
