You know, I fucking hate the jokes that people with ADHD and autistic people just magically get along well.
Like....spoiler alert.....but putting two people with conflicting sensory needs in a room together is a recipe for disaster.
I have ADHD and autism. I have a lot of issues with loud noises or movement. If you put me in a room together with someone who vocally stims, we are not going to get along well. It's not that they're a bad person, it's not that I'm a bad person, we just have conflicting needs.
I stim a lot by pacing and wringing my hands. My dad, who probably has ADHD, gets really anxious when people pace.
This is a big reason why lumping all the disabled students in one classroom is bad idea, like many schools do. Because like all people, disabled people are each different people. With different needs. With different sensory needs and triggers.
Someone could stim by smacking their lips, while another person could have misophonia and have a strong reaction to those sounds.
Treating disabled people like humans is acknowledging that we're all different people, and we don't magically all get along because we share a condition. Like....it would be bigoted to assume that of any other marginalized group, so why would you do that to disabled people?

“empathy” is not a synonym for “good person”. some of the kindest and most respectful people I know are low empathy. and lord knows there are high empathy dicks out there.
being a good person is a choice. the amount of empathy you have is not.
