no one fucking tells you this so here it is:

when signing out forms to apply for disability / filling out a form for diagnosis

you’re supposed to fill it out as you on your worst days

like, I filled out forms that said I could do most things usually

like, my doctor added in the conditions like “yeah, they can feed themselves when not stressed” “they can do this when not stressed

but how I should have filled it out was more like

“some days I can’t feed myself” “some days I can’t leave the house”

My doctor didn’t even know this, but I talked to someone who had worked with people with both developmental and intellectual disabilities for a number of years, and she told me to write down how it is for your bad days

this should be a thing they tell you, but it isn’t

part of the reason I didn’t get my autism diagnosis as soon as I should have is because I filled out forms wrong!

This also goes for filling out forms for disabled parking rights. I’ve been rejected multiple times for a pass cause I didn’t find this out till recently.

Also you’re generally supposed to fill it out as you are without help.

That throws me too.  Because the more help I get, the more capable I get.  It’s easy to forget what happens when the help falls away even partially let alone completely.

Also also: If you use assistive technology to do any of this you are meant to mention it. If e.g. you can “get around fine” using a nordic walking stick you’re using as a cane, that is 100% absolutely relevant to your evaluation.

If there’s no option to mention that you already have and use assistive technology, fill out as if you didn’t have access to it.

please stop scrolling - help a homeless black person

even if you can’t do anything else, reblogging helps me a lot!

im a homeless black trans person (i was cut off by my Christian family for being trans) and i’m disabled (OCD, autistic)

i’ve been wearing the same pair of pants for two weeks, my phone charger is broken, but i can’t even worry about that because i have $216 to my name right now, and i owe about $300 to my college for tuition fees

honestly, i have too much money stuff to worry about…but i’m going to just focus on school and clothes for now!

If you are willing and able, you can

If you can’t do any of these things please reblog. Thank you!
