aac ask game
💙: What kind of aac do you use?
I use writing on paper or typing on my phone and unassisted aac (gestures and noises). Will be getting more soon. I recently became minimally speaking, so I do not currently have many specialized aac devices. I want cards and to try an app.
Due to being unable to know when I'll be able to eat, there is no breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I simply "do the food thing." My whole family calls it that.
Reblog with what you renamed *activity done because of disability or CI*
For example, i call putting on kinesiology tape 'disability arts and crafts'
I didn't know whether to call it eating or drinking bc it's drinkfood so i started calling it feeding. Like a vampire. Because it's a liquid diet. I think i'm very funny
I love how part of Discord culture is planning to move in with people you barely know. We all do it at some point. I'm literally doing it right now.
Shout out to people who are frustrated with their mobility aids:
People who need more supportive aids than they have.
People who need less supportive aids than they have.
People who need a custom mobility aid but can't access it.
People whose family/caretaker(s)/doctor(s) are preventing them from getting best aid for them.
People whose mobility aids are broken and can't be easily fixed or replaced.
People who have the right mobility aid for them but face a lot of inaccessibility.
People with big, noisy, or otherwise attention-grabbing aids that draw unwanted attention.
People whose mobility aids cause pain, fatigue, or other symptom increases that can't be remedied.
It's ok to have mixed or negative feelings about your specific mobility aid or about needing an aid in general. Expressing frustration about your aid isn't being ungrateful or setting back progress in disability acceptance. It's normal to be frustrated when you're being prevented from living the life you want to live.

I wish the default for me was "pretty good." I wish that nothing new happening meant my day went well. Unfortunately, I don't get that. If nothing out of the ordinary happened today, that means I was tired, I was in pain, and at least once I nearly cried. When I say nothing happened and you assume that means my day was alright, know that you were so, so wrong.
Instead of trying to replace an ableist and incorrect usage of intensive though (e.g "the intrusive thoughts won tonight") to mean impulsive behaviour with the term "impulsive thoughts" (which is clunky because it obviously still draws from intrusive thoughts and is similar enough for people to not notice or know the difference, is still ableist as this is also a medical term, and self-contradictory, as any impulsive thoughts are not necessarily harmful in a way that works for the meme), I suggest we start referring to it as The Impulse. Capital letters and all.
Arguments:
- draws on the popular internet slang expression of The Horrors (unspecific but commonly experienced life struggles of both psychological and material original), and is therefore not connected to the ableist misuse of instructive thoughts;
- additionally, implies the existence of universal human experience with The Impulse, in a similar way humans universally can experience The Horrors, and therefore inclusive of all;
- also implies the existence of The Impulse entity which, according to individual interpret, can be anything yet immediately relatable to other people;
- is literally just funnier than both intrusive thoughts and impulsive thoughts in that context;
- sounds ominous enough to use in ominous situations.
Example of use:
"bro let The Impulse win 💀"
"The Impulse won tonight (dyed my hair at 3 am)"
"The Impulse telling me to call my ex [insert reaction picture]"
"can't let The Impulse win this one"
You can also smack at â„¢ there, implying that The Impulseâ„¢ is well known enough to be trademarked and widely recognisable, which I think is cool.
Transphobes b like :"You can't just expect me to change how I talk just for your comfort!" And then expect me, autistic, to change how I talk for their comfort all the time every day.
Highly recommend creating a discord server exclusively to talk to yourself
