The Ableism Trap: Manifesting Away Disabilities, Ignoring Systemic Failures

 Picture this: you're stuck in a system that's supposed to support you, but all it does is fall short at every turn. Your needs aren't being met, your voice isn't being heard, and the frustration is building with each passing day. Enter manifesting – the latest trend in self-care – offering a tantalizing escape route from your troubles. But here's the catch: your troubles aren't just going to vanish into thin air. They're deeply rooted in systemic failures, conveniently overlooked by the glittery facade of manifesting.

Let's shine a light on the elephant in the room: NDIS agencies. These are supposed to be the lifelines for people with disabilities, providing essential support and services to improve their quality of life. But what happens when these agencies fail to deliver? What happens when the funding dries up, leaving clients stranded in a sea of unmet needs?

For many, manifesting someone out of their life isn't just about convenience – it's about survival. When NDIS agencies can't or won't provide the support needed, people with disabilities are left feeling isolated and unheard. They're forced to navigate a broken system that prioritizes budgets over basic human dignity.

So, is it any wonder that manifesting becomes an attractive option? When you're faced with constant barriers and roadblocks, the idea of simply wishing your problems away can feel like a welcome relief. But let's not mistake this for genuine self-care. It's a coping mechanism born out of desperation, a Band-Aid solution for wounds that run much deeper.

Instead of blaming individuals for seeking escape, let's turn our attention to the real culprits: the systemic failures that perpetuate ableism and discrimination. Let's demand better from NDIS agencies, holding them accountable for their promises and ensuring that every person with a disability receives the support they deserve.

So, before you judge someone for manifesting away their troubles, take a moment to consider the bigger picture. Recognize that their actions are a symptom of a much larger problem, one that won't be solved by simply wishing it away. It's time to confront ableism head-on and fight for a system that truly supports all its members, disabilities and all.
