like “supporting” someone with adhd but hating them and believing they should be shunned or treated differently for interrupting others, not paying attention, and not being able to sit still, rather than try to help them or tell them not to interrupt the conversation.

or “supporting” deaf people but getting mad because they only talk sign language and can’t hear what you say.

I have quite a few disorders and i’ve been talked abt and treated like shit for it, and not just because I have the disorder but because im different. I don’t fit in anywhere and never will.

all of my “friends” talk shit abt me and my disabilities, and then one person is always like “oh yeah, this person said this about you and they hate that you can’t pay attention, and that person says you should jump off a cliff!”

    If they do it because of someone’s disabilities, it’s ableist. If they do it and someone happens to be disabled, but that’s not connected, it isn’t. This sounds like it is about the disabilities, though. And be aware there is more than ableism, people can be assholes, cruel… as well. And all of the bad behaviour can mix.
