Hi, please don& #39;t use me as your model to tell other disabled people they& #39;re not trying hard enough because "look at corina! They& #39;re successful despite their disabilities!" yeah I& #39;m also privileged af! My parents had money. I may be broke but during my childhood my parents
never had to worry about going broke because of my medical problems. ALSO I& #39;M WHITE. Do I still deal with discrimination and hardships because of my disability, yes. Am I still privileged in certain ways because I& #39;m white, yes. Disabled people are not lazy for needing
Accommodations. Disabled people succeeding despite being disabled should never be used to tell another disabled person they& #39;re not trying hard enough.
Let me also add if I EVER find ANYONE using MY NAME to make another disabled person feel like they& #39;re not doing enough, I will find you and throw fish at you. Yup. Fish. I will grab trout and throw them at your face.
Another thing about this, I HAD SO MANY ACCOMMODATIONS! Yes there were certain things that I worked around. But I had A LOT of help by being accommodated. Without accommodations I would not have been successful. And the only reason I got those accomodations is because again, I
Was privileged. My parents had money. They could buy me the accommodations I needed. My mother was also a stay at home mom. Not everyone is in a position where at least one if their parents can stay at home and help their children. NOR SHOULD ANY PARENT FEEL BAD IF THEY ARE NOT
A STAY AT HOME PARENT.
