As a disabled person who needs adaptions it& #39;s so easy to fall into thinking it& #39;s too much to ask of people, that you don& #39;t really deserve them, maybe you don& #39;t need them & you really are just lazy, & certainly you don& #39;t want to burden people by asking

And this is exacerbated because if you need something you are made to ask. There& #39;s never a ready-made suite of accessibility options from which everyone chooses what they need; there& #39;s not even a basic understanding of the Equality Act

Instead, you, with a life of being told to stop complaining, stop being a burden, stop thinking you have a right to actually flourish, start being grateful for being allowed to exist at all, with all the attendant exhaustion & eroded self-worth are forced to fight to even ask

I don& #39;t think it& #39;s from malice, but it& #39;s often a learned thing that if people make disabled people do all the heavy lifting, eventually we just go away because we& #39;re shattered so that& #39;s the easiest way to avoid the problem of having us around

And at the same time they can genuinely believe they& #39;re good and inclusive people, because "if you just make the case for something, we& #39;ll provide it"
