I love the reframe of having the needs supported - this is definitely what it feels like some days

Thanks for highlighting the fact that's not all days are equal and we shouldn't feel guilty.

Love this 💕

"When my support needs are low, it might mean that my disability needs are well nurtured with the right skills and environment and community. So still disabled, but well taken care of."

I love your brilliance. I'm also nuero-divergent and what you write always connects to what im going through and brings whatever I'm contemplating to a full head. I'm super into Human Design and the importance of environment has been at the top of my mind. Everything depends on it...and everyone! We all require certain unique conditions to function correctly in this world. And when I say correctly, I mean correct for us as individuals creating a whole. We cannot create a beautiful sustainable whole if we're labeling people only to leave them behind. I have issues with labels and I've never contemplated the word disabled before but it's not really a label is it? It's more of a statement saying there is nothing wrong with me inherently, there is something that doesn't line up with my inherently brilliant design in my environment and I need a change or changes to function at my best. As a people, with all the systems, we have lost the meaning behind the words. We just label and move on and hope someone else or something else will take care of it because we're so busy. But that's not sustainable and it is backfiring as all of us labeled and left behind rise in number and begin to use our voices to say hey, hello 👋 Remember me??? We are rising stronger even without the environmental support and some of us are mad and taking down the wrong things. The very systems that we need but have gone to far to the left. We must remember it's not the systems and structures that are the problem. It's the lack of awareness of the meaning behind them. If there's not heart it's can't continue in anyway. Everything build in the cross of planning will crumble as we rose into the cross of the sleeping Phoenix. That's Human design stuff but I hope you get the ideas 💡. Times are changing, the ones who've been at the bottom are rising, so people better start making an effort to connect more with their hearts and less with who they think or what they think will save them. At the end of the day we can only save ourselves, but we can also be a guiding beacon for others to rise with us! Thank you for shining 🌟 your light for others to see!!!
