Alt Text of image
Alt text of image: a screenshot of a comment box and its editing options, with a dark theme, grey and dark grey background with white text. A skinny white arrow points to the “spoiler” option, which is an exclamation point inside of a diamond, and the 13th or second-from-the-last icon in the middle of the photo and at the top of the light grey comment box that reads “Type here to comment…” in white italic font
After clicking it, substitute the second “spoiler” with your content warning and the three underscores ( ___ ) with your sensitive content.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
“Oh I work with someone who has the same conditions as you and they’re very successful”
Oh great, so it’s my fault I’m struggling with basic things haha. I mean, I know what they probably meant is to not give up hope that I can be successful, but man it made me feel like my struggles are personal failings.
What else can you do but try your best though?
that shit drives me nuts.
yea i could probably be successful if i was luckier and could have got a programming job when just about everyone could, but instead i graduated into a hyper competitive market where i will get rejected for asking for accommodation
success is all just luck, telling someone ‘i know someone like you but they got lucky’ isn’t very interesting

I feel you. It can then become a struggling with struggling with those mixed feelings. Hopefully they were trying to be encouraging about it and not condescending. I’d like to believe most people would be accepting of “I did my best” and not be openly judgy about it. x-files I-Want-to-Believe.png
