Disabled people can absolutely be ableist. Disabled people can invalidate other’s lived experiences. Disabled people can question other’s diagnoses. Disabled people can refuse to accommodate others. Disabled people can create inaccessible content. Disabled people can fail to consider and incorporate intersectionality within their advocacy works. As a disabled person myself, I have been ableist in the past, and have held myself accountable each day as I’ve grown as an advocate and activist. Being disabled does not grant you immunity from being ableist. Non-disabled people can be ableist. Disabled people can be ableist. #autism #adhd #autistic #neurodiversity #education #employment #disability #advocacy #inclusion #dei #intersectionality #communication #stigma #bias #ableism #culture #accommodations #pride #hr #discrimination #systems #accessibility #privilege #mentalhealth

Just a reminder that cis-white people are not representative of the disabled population nor do they speak for the entire disabled community. 16% of the global population is disabled. Around 80% of disabled people come from developing countries. Yet, most of the highest profile speakers, consultants, coaches, and voices within the disabled community are white. Supports that help cis-white people may not help that of multiply marginalised identities and must not be taken as gospel. White advocates may fail to consider the harms or impracticalities of certain practices on marginalised communities. We must begin to elevate and amplify the voices and stories of disabled people of colour if we truly care about creating positive change as it relates to disability. A failure to appreciate and consider intersectionality within advocacy risks leaving millions of disabled people behind. #autism #adhd #neurodiversity #education #employment #disability #advocacy #inclusion #dei #intersectionality

Had a fantastic and fruitful session with MS Society of India on “Abuse against PWDs and the lack of data around it," where I shared my research work and delved into the critical issue of data scarcity surrounding abuse and crimes against persons with disabilities in India. The session was a part of Webinar Series by MSSI National Youth Wing and National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People #disability #disabilityrights #disabilityadvocacy #disabilityjustice #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #research

Solve two problems with one action: Recruit talented disabled persons. This solves labor issues and increases employment of disabled persons. 🌈 Did you know disabled unemployment rate is 2X higher? Did you know that disabled persons participate in workforce at half the rate of others. #NCDEAM #NCDEAM #Autistic #Autism #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #Diversity #Disability #DisabilityEmployment
