I love the plain and easy to understand yet powerful way you explained it. One of the hardest effects of ableism for me was the point you mentioned where friends fade away. As a disabled teenager, your friends and how you're viewed socially means a lot, and it can be so easy to never want to open up to anyone one when ableism has taught you time and time again that when you do, you're friends will get scared and leave.<br /><br />Love,<br />thewheelchairteen.home.blogThe Wheelchair Teenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899163695817618368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287942833314297300.post-3739674465694211602019-11-19T10:23:44.991-06:002019-11-19T10:23:44.991-06:00Very nice and inspiring!
