Hi all so I am writing this as a follow up to my ablism video and I know that the first rule of the internet is to stay away from the comment sections but when you get this often used phrase around the only true disability is a bad attitude it comes across as rude and simply ableist as people get very uncomfortable very quickly when you start talking about disability and I have to say that yes at times a bad attitude gets in the way if you have a disability but this comment I know the person had “good intentions” but we know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and we need to be able to work with what we have but at the same time we need to acknowledge  that disability is very real and there is very real links between disability and mental health due to comments like this one and I do admit that I felt attacked with what was said as I have worked so hard to even admit that I have disability’s and am worthy of help and assistance, we see that people need to be able to und
