    This made me think of

    In med school, I took an elective called "Stress", foolishly thinking I was going to learn about meditation and yoga. Instead the professor spent 6 weeks proving that being poor or a minority literally destroys your health on a molecular level, and I think about that every day.

    Also, fuck trying to inflict ABA sort of bullshit on ADHD’rs as well as autists, it’s ableist from the core and is all about making us “productive members” of ableist capitalist society, rather than happy well cared for individuals, and is a huge contributor to stress and feelings of inadequacy and of being burden.

    Sure, coping strategies are good and important, but they should solely be to benefit the patient, not make the patient more beneficial (and acceptable) to others.

    The more inclusive and accessible society is, the less stress marginalised people are exposed to for being “other”.
