“When we insist upon people identifying as disabled, or having disability pride, we are forcing people into a process that they’re not quite ready for. Instead, we should create an environment that just says, ‘Come as you are, whether or not you identify as disabled.’”
Autistic Self Advocacy Network@autselfadvocacy

"Black disability politics is the way that Black people engage with disability as a political and social issue, rather than a simply a medical or personal issue." 19thnews.org/2023/02/black-…

The history of the Disability Civil Rights Movement is rich but not part of general education. @guardian explains that history "helps you see, by providing the role models absent in pop culture or politics or business, the possibilities for your own life." theguardian.com/society/2022/d…
