Disabled people can get bombarded with questions, which can be pretty tiring.... alternatively the disability can be totally ignored which can be rough. Is there a question you're tired of being asked?

I am so fucking sick of the "cheerful, noble and kind" disabled trope. I am not an aesop. I am a person.
Actually sometimes i'm a raging cunt. THIS SHIT HURTS.
Agreed. It's not questions that are the main problem. It's stories and articles about how disabled people have overcome their disability that are the real problem. Yeah, good for them, but that's not realistic for most people and it gives able-bodied people a false sense of what we can accomplish.
Yep! I want to swing for people who call me brave. I'm not 6!!!
I had a friend call me brave. I pointed out i run on rampant denial and spoon abuse so don't fucken use me as an example
