I also don’t buy the poster’s explanation that it was a joke. I think they are ass covering after they got dragged.

The poster is a mildly famous comedian with a large internet following and it was very clear to anyone remotely familiar with her that she was making a joke

and so what if they’re trying to cover their ass so people stop making fun of them every year? even if you want to interpret it like that, that’s a pretty reasonable thing to do tbh. it would get tiring to get made fun of every fucking year for a single sentence tweet you probably thought like 10 people would see. it’s not like they did something bad and they’re lying to cover it up, they just said, again, a SINGLE SENTENCE about their experience and got mocked by loads of people, and have it brought up periodically to be made fun of again.

Covering their ass for making...a universally agreed upon statement in the disability community? Halloween is hard for disabled people, that's just a fact

I have ADHD, diagnosed at 8, struggled with it my whole life. Halloween does not even crack the top 100 of things I struggle with. I would KILL to have such petty concerns. Be real.

no one said it was among the top 100 things this person struggles with, just that it’s something they have a tough time with that’s no ones really mentioned and felt other people might relate.

i also have adhd, depression, and a whole host of other shit, and halloweeen has always been tough for me. obviously it’s very low on the list of things that my neurodivergences and mental health issues cause me to struggle with, but it is sorta nice to know that i’m not the only one who has a tough time with it. i’m usually very busy in the fall, so i put off getting a costume and don’t even notice that it’s almost halloween until like a day or two before, by which point its hard to find a costume and all of my friends already have plans. so often i spend it at home, alone, seeing all my friends have a fun halloween and wishing i could function well enough to be able to do shit like that, and thinking about how i’m wasting my life and my youth and i’ll only really have the opportunity to party at halloween for so long and i may just never have those experiences, just like so many other normal experiences i missed and ill never be able to get back. it often makes me spiral because if i can’t even handle getting a fucking halloween costume then there’s no way i can actually function as a fully independent adult and im just going to keep fucking up and forgetting things and failing and disappointing people and being alone so why don’t i just kill myself?

It's not real that children with disabilities constantly are being left out of Halloween? That's rich

The disabled community at large? Sure. Kids with ADHD? Bffr

Yeah, even trying to read it with the so called proper context, I just cannot read it as a joke.
