Chronic illness creates a double bind most people never notice. The more private you are about your symptoms, the less people believe you. The more you share, the more you’re judged for talking about it. There’s no winning.

Invisible disabilities exist. Dynamic disabilities exist. People with the same disability but different severities exist. Better days and worse days with disability exist. You cannot always judge someone’s disability just by looking at them. And you shouldn’t. Their abilities are none of your business.

Be nice today to do anything today without bursting into tears at the sheer cruel, vindictive & sadistic unfairness of it all. What do I say to my disabled daughter about her future? What do I say? How do I tell her the future under this government is one they don’t want her in?

The Disability Action plan was published by the government this week. Opening line: “This government is determined to transform the everyday lives & experiences of disabled people for the better.” We don’t believe you. ALL Under your watch 👇

5 yrs ago we petitioned Government for a specific minister for Disabled children & families. We garnered hundreds of thousands of signatures & delivered them to Downing St. It was disregarded. It was essential to have a minister then.. It’s imperative now.

The thing is, it’s not JUST Warwickshire is it? So many hold these discriminatory views & think it’s OK to voice them. Just because they are ignorant & / or want to gaslight / deflect. It’s all over in schools / LAs. Ignorance / or actually deliberate. It’s not just Warwickshire.

Disabled children don’t belong in institutions. Over 25,000 signatures in 4 days. Please sign and share.
We’re fed up of MPs and councillors blaming disabled children and their families for the failings in the SEND system and local authority finances when they are the ones failing us. Enough is enough. change.org/p/demand-warwicks…

"It’s not surprising that parents seek support from each other... It’s not to crowdsource a diagnosis for issues that don’t exist, but to try to get the right support for our children who are drowning in a sea of professional indifference." 👌 Excellent from @SpcialNdsJungle
NEW POST: Parent, Rachel Filmer explains how the Warwickshire councillors are not unique: They're indicative of growing resentment toward funding support for #disabled children specialneedsjungle.com/warwi…

An MP has called for the resignation of the three Warwickshire councillors accused of making offensive comments about children with SEND. The councillors have made somewhere of a rubbish apology. They should go, not wait to see if it blows over bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c514…
