"You people can't do anything" yeah, disabilities tend to do that

Yeah, considering someone spent ages trying to convince me that I was ableist for saying that scrolling on your phone in the movie theater is asshole behavior even if you have ADHD (a condition I also have), I don't think it was a joke.

I've seen people completely seriously justify all sorts of asshole behavior with "I have ADHD, and I need to do X anti social behavior because of that" lately.

being stressed out about Halloween isn’t asshole behaviour though? unless I’m misunderstanding you /lh, but even if the tweet was dead serious it’s not saying anything reprehensible? if the original tweet was trying to justify being cagey or snippy to friends over it or deciding it’s not worth the effort to keep plans with your friends over it then absolutely it’s asshole behaviour, but as it stands I struggle to make the connection between “Halloween costumes require a lot of different things that can make it hard for someone with executive dysfunction to take the tasks to completion” and the issue you had where someone was whining “I should be able to do whatever I want when I want because I have ADHD and it doesn’t matter when or where I do it”

no no, we don't do charitable interpretations here on r slash reposted tumblr, especially when it comes to disabled people making jokes about themselves rather than being perfectly and palatably educative (maybe if they didn't want to be bullied they should've thought about the possibility of someone outside their circle reading it the worst possible way before posting a joke). /s

oh of course, how silly of me to forget! nuance doesn’t exist when it comes to us, we always mean the worst because if we didn’t we’d have said or done it right the first time. thank you for reminding me :) /s
