One of the biggest fears that a lot of disabled folks face when they enter into a relationship, is to be perceived as gold diggers or a burden to their significant other. They are well aware that they can't work, yet there will always be people out there that will make them feel lesser for living close to poverty; or, they will accuse disabled folks of making more money than them simply by sitting on their ass, etc. There's so much stigma about people who live with visible and invisible disabilities, that all these fears keep piling up. And the caretakers also get judged by the working class, who treats them like enablers. Disabled people don't just chose to be disabled, you know? (*  ̄︿ ̄)

When I was at @rcn.org.uk Congress 2024, I went to ask for a sunflower lanyard & the woman was hesitant. Did I "book" one? No, I didn't know it was a thing. Doesn't mean I don't still have ADHD & a back injury
