I Was Wanting To Make A Post About My Experiences Going On A Disney World Vacation As A Disabled Person
I was wanting to make a post about my experiences going on a Disney World vacation as a disabled person but honestly I’d like to vent about something else.
If you are traveling to anywhere, and you have someone in your party with disabilities, you need to be as accommodating as possible. If you and that person may have different needs that conflict, you two have to discuss this and figure it out.
My brother has ADHD and probably several undiagnosed issues as well. I have Autism. Tourettes, Epilepsy, and FND alongside several mental health issues.
I get it. I wanted him to be able to enjoy his trip too. Issue is, I have higher support needs, and I sometimes can put myself at risk for a medical emergency if I am overwhelmed. Our family ended up prioritizing me because of this.
The issue arises when my brother ends up getting jealous because I happen to require more attention to ensure I am safe and able to enjoy myself. Also he just is… not understanding? He says I act like I’m “SPED” whenever I bother him. Though this can sometimes result in my brother feeling like everything gets centered around me or that I’m too demanding. He’s even told me he thinks I’m exaggerating how I react when overstimulated because I’m unable to mask well. He also did some other things that eventually would trigger me into having more anxiety and being at risk for issues, such as cursing me out when our other family members weren’t listening. He also accused me of having a victim complex. I was left scared to say anything because he told me that everyone would agree with him if I spoke up. I later learned this was very much not the case.
When we weren’t having conflicts, the trip went smoothly and everyone was very understanding. I was fortunate to get accommodations due to my autism. While I had my moments of overstimulation, I was able to make it through with some fidgets I had on a necklace, as well as a rental ECV to help with my mobility issues.
I’m trying to remain optimistic here, because some parts did go great. However, it’s difficult. Be honest if I do sound like I was being a jerk to my brother. I am guilty of being harsh.

One blessing out my abuse is that whenever I have to be tested for strep, I hardly react to the throat swab, but that’s not as big of a flex as yours lmao
One blessing of my abuse/torture is that I can remain in a squat position for hours on end, gain massive leg muscle and a thic ass
Felt this. I finally know to unmask but I feel like I’m regressing
My doctor and therapist: now with this autism + ADHD diagnosis you need to learn to unmask because masking all the time will make you burn out again and feel like shit
Other people: well it's just interesting how after getting the diagnosis you suddenly start behaving like that I mean I'm not saying you're faking it's just funny how you suddenly cannot be normal like you were before
happy Thursday the 20th
No because I feel like I would be called body horror when no I just get bad dystonia sometimes.
It’s horror but in a different way
to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...
1. DO NOT censor your posts
dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)
2. we dont really have an algorithm
you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points
3. dont crosstag
we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)
4. dont expect to go viral/be famous
"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is
5. blocking is your best friend
tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on
6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture
this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app
