    This is really getting ridiculous. Last time i had someone tell me i am ableist after using ADD in a hypothetical scenario because the specific traits and challenges of ADD fit the situation too good to not use the term (and i used it because i seem to fulfill 9/9 medical criteria for ADD and it was simply the first thing i thought of because of my own experience with the symptoms)

    Okay but I’m going to draw a line at actual slurs.

    That's a personal choice.
    The handicapped still haven't reclaimed that term for you to belittle others with that term, or that of ShesLaurenK.

    Why do people like you not see a problem with acting like you get to speak for all handicapped people?

    Do you even a have a handicap?

    Does it make you feel powerful when you claim protector status for people who didn't ask for your help?

    Stop speaking for me.

    You don't know me. You don't know my family. You are meaningless to me and mine.

    We have genetic retardation in our genes (I won't tell you what it is because it doesn't matter).

    It affects a few people rather extensively, we joke about how those of us who seem "normal" are still retarded.

    That's reality.

    You don't like that? Too fucking bad.

    So it's “normal” for you to belittle others with your conditions?
