"why can't you just eat?" It's not that easy :/ people always invalidate my experience with anorexia/anorexia recovery. They don't realize that anorexia is the most lethal psychiatric disorder there is.Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It?

I have HF Autism/Asperger's, at work I'm a high functioning electrical engineer, doing design and diagnostic work. Or I was until I told a senior manager I couldn't drive the company car as it was an automatic transmission and I could only drive a manual. I was told if I was incapable of driving the works car, I was therefore mentally incapable of doing my job unsupervised anymore. He was a very surprised when I handed my notice to the MD 1hr later and told the MD why I had resigned.Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It?
I found out I had a bone disease at 34 called Avascular Necrosis. I had two hip replacements at 36. I had to have reconstruction surgery on my hip muscles and IT bands at 41. At 42, I work on the 5th floor of a 6 story building and due to Covid, the elevator is reserved for people who have disabilities. I take the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, I had a coworker ask me if my disability was being fat or being lazy. While in the elevator, I've had a different coworker tell me he faked an ankle injury to ride in the elevator, then he asked me what I was faking. I can't tell you how many times I have been told how lucky I am to ride in the elevator. My standard response is "I had four surgeries on my legs and have two hip implants with 6 screws. I've had to relearn how to walk 4 times over now. Yep, I'm super lucky..."Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It?

Hi everyone! I am 14 years old fyi. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes since I was 4. And also have celiac desease. But anyways, to control my blood sugar levels I have to wear two pumps on my arms. And people can be very judgmental. I have been called "cyborg" or " having ugly arms"(because my pumps are visable on my arms) or even "unnatural" just for having to wear medical pumps, checking all of my food for being gluten free and counting all if my carbs and having to take breaks when my sugar becomes low as I could pass out or die if it gets too low or too high. Also people automatically assume things like me not being able to eat sugar. That is totally not true, so i have to explain to those who care what this desease actually is. Anyways, I hope you have an amazing day! And dw there are a bunch of supportive people I surround myself with! All my friends are super understanding so I am all good! Anyways, thanks for reading! Sorry that my answer was so long.Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It?
Not sure if this counts but I have Cystic Fibrosis (An inherited life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system) and the worst thing someone told me is hard to just tell so I gotta give the context so it was winter right so the air was super cold, and my lungs are very sensitive to cold air even though i love it so i cant breathe outside when its cold and it hurts my lungs really bad and my throat gets all scratchy and raw (like when you run for too long, just without the running part) And i was outside at school with my friends and i was breathing very heavily trying to get oxygen and i was kinda dizzy because it was hard and my friends looked at me and said "are you okay?" thinking maybe i would throw up or something, i said "yeah im fine its just cold out" and they were confused and were like "...so?" i said "... so... i have a lung disease....? can't breathe...?" and they were like "stop it, you're not going to get pity, just suck it up its not that bad, you're just super out of shape" haha yeah well easy for them to say with their perfect lung function and healthyness. but i went home and cried because that hurt me really bad now I'm super self-conscious about how heavy im breathing because i don't want people to think i'm out of shape or weak or anything.

I have severe allergic asthma and have accommodations at work. I had someone tell me that it must be nice to leave whenever I don’t feel like working. I was aghast- I would not wish this on my worst enemy. How would you like to walk into a new place and not know if you can breathe? Or just stop being able to breathe for no real apparent reason? And then have to always, always, always have access to your inhalers and nebulizer at a second’s notice. And then have to know where the closest hospital is in case you cannot catch your breath. And the money spent on inhalers and various other things to keep me breathing is ridiculous (I’m in the US). Also, having to watch what I eat- if I eat a lot of dairy, I have issues with congestion. Same with a lot of carbohydrates. Asthma sucks.Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It?
"You don't know what stress is" when I told someone I was stressed out during exams at school... My kidneys were failing, I might have had to start dialysis soon*, I was going through puberty, was being bullied at school, my grandad had just died, and was being emotionally/mentally abused and neglected at home. Oh, and I have a disability from birth which makes every step painful. So yeah, no stress there. That's just one example. I'm in such a better place now thankfully!! But here's an nice one (note, my physical disability makes me walk weird) - Random little boy saw me and asked "why's she walking like that" and his mum said "that's just how she walks" and he just said okay and went on his merry way. Shared a smile with the mum. A+ interaction, would normalise again *which terrified me as, aside from me being needle-phobic, can cause heart attacks if you're really unlucky.Hey Pandas With A Disability Or Disorder, What’s The Worst Thing Someone Has Said To You About It?

After breast cancer treatment including a mastectomy and a 9hr reconstruction surgery a colleague said to me “well at least you didn’t have to have major surgery” No, sure, I just had part of me amputated & another part of my body moved to replace it.Show All 39 Upvotes
