ablesplaining


ablesplaining is a patronizing “explanation” of any aspect of disability from someone who does not have the lived experience of being disabled. an ablesplainer’s opinion is often shared without request and with a grossly inflated sense of ent-tlement. don’t be an ablesplainer.
stop defending your words. you are ablesplaining!

i.e.
“i can use words like stupid, r-t-rd, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren’t meant to offend anyone.”

“but you don’t look like you have a disability!”

“look at that person parking in an accessible parking sp-ce! they don’t need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system.”

“that child doesn’t look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her.”

“we are in compliance with ada because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls.”
