A tumblr post by "autisticBird" with a white background, featuring black text. The text says "Ableism is so tough to combat when people don't even believe it's a thing. 'Like, do you know how many times I've heard people hear the word and scoff? People get so tripped up on the word. Just at the word itself. And then they can't get past it. Once they deem the word "not a thing" or "ridiculous" then actual discrimination and oppression of disabled people goes completely ignored." Under that it says "source: autisticBird". 403 notes.
