There’s a difference between “disabled” and “legally recognized as disabled,” and I just want to give a shout-out to all the other disabled people who don’t have formal diagnoses, who don’t have access to benefits of any kind, who don’t have the ability to use even the shittiest and least-helpful resources, because the process of getting legal recognition for disability sucks ass.
And another shout-out to all the disabled people who purposely avoid getting diagnosed, because official diagnoses can be used against you, and you’re unable or unwilling to risk it.
