This is random, but I've been thinking, and a really neglected aspect of accessibility is making the environment safe for people who might injure themselves due to things like movement disorders. I have Tourette's and a coordination disorder and wish we talked about this more.

Thankfully my tics aren't as destructive these days (though they still can be) and my coordination disorder is milder these days, but I think about this a lot. For instance, it can be really dangerous for me if there's anything you can burn yourself on within reach.

And yet this is rarely considered an accessibility issue. In fact, there seems to be little accommodation for those without full control of their bodies in general, let alone those with movement disorders that actually try to hurt them.

Tw: severe tics, involuntary self-injury

I know you can't necessarily Tourette's proof the world, but I got so excited at this video because of all the accommodations they came up with. And I wonder how much further we can take stuff like this.

Perhaps a good start would be using less things like sharp corners. Or perhaps restaurants can keep plastic cutlery and paper cups/plates/etc on hand for those prone to breaking this. Perhaps hot objects can be kept behind some sort of barrier.

Just some thoughts.
