Friendly remind to neuroatypical people: You are valid. Your illness is valid. You’re not valid “in spite of your illness”, you’re not valid “even though you’re mentally ill”. You’re valid. Period. You matter, your feelings matter, your thoughts matter, and you are important.

Okay, but except if you actively exclude DID and schizophrenia from your disability rights activism, you actually are abelist garbage. Just some food for thought.
I mean, if you think you still are an activist or an ally of disabled people while excluding “scary” or “dangerous” mental disorders, you need to go sit in the corner for a timeout because you are not an ally in the slightest.

If you only stand up for certain mental disorders like anxiety and depression but totally give the shaft to people with things like DID and schizophrenia, I hate to break it to you, but you’re an ableist sack of garbage.
