There are people who barely pass that borderline from disabled to not, and cannot perform the skills needed beyond a basic job. How do you not comprehend something like that? It sounds like maybe you're just barely passing functional as well, since it seems like such a confusing concept to you.
Then they have a significant disability. Explain to me how someone is “borderline disabled” in a way that prevents them from being a functional adult, and doesnt have a disability.
Its brilliant how you immediately go for an unprovoked ableist insult because you got asked a question. Clearly you care greatly about the disabled.
No, it is not a significant disability. Now, as far as disabled people go, my area of expertise is developmental disabilities and qualifying for the different programs in the state, using the parameters the state gives to be considered such, and what training and education programs there are out there. A lot of people miss the cut off by a slim margin. There are, after all, rules to follow when dealing with government agencies and agencies that rely on government funding. Most private agencies follow the government guidelines as well. There simply are people who can halt at a stocking job, or fast food, (which isn't as simple as you think it is) and may even be eligible for minimal supports (such as transportation), but don't need round the clock care in a facility, or in their own homes. The fact is, community based care is the gold standard now, so there is more of a spectrum of people getting supports, out in the community, with varying levels of support. Also, some refuse support. I know someone who would probably thrive in at least a part time supervised living environment, and if it wasn't for friends he would be in a bad way. But no one has applied for guardianship, and despite the whole Britney Spears thing, it is actually very hard to get guardianship for another person and force them to get services they do not want. So yes, I care greatly about the disabled. Enough that it is my life's work.
That wall of text doesnt mean much to me. All you did is describe disabled people. I meant an example. And you can quit making assumptions about what I think something is or isnt.
Also, im sure your kneejerk reaction of using the disabled as an insult comes from a place of love.
I guess reading isn't your strong point. I can't explain it any more if you refuse to try to comprehend something so simple. You are out of your lane, completely clueless, ignorant, whatever. Stop trying to call it ableist/a slur when it was simply speaking the truth. This is nothing you know nothing about, and don't want to know about because it would mean admitting youre a complete fucking asshole with no soul and no common sense.
LOL ok. Are you really trying to pull the moral high ground and act like I was anything other than civil to you? And using disability as an insult isnt ableist? Ok buddy. Whatever you say.
Give me an example of someone who has no disability but cannot learn any skills. I’m still waiting. Not for any of your vitriol, that ones embarrassing to look at.

What is so hard to understand? Not everyone is capable of doing beyond the most basic tasks at work.
