A6 and some things can only be experienced online. the question is biased toward in person. The online/offline plays itself out differently for different disabled people in different settings. If you set a hierarchy its the area (education, employment...) not how #AXSChat

A5 disabled people should decide. including how they are defined. I use the terms ability identity security and ability identity self determination security for that. We are not one group. We have many identities and stories that shape how we see ourselves #AXSChat

A4 I don't think we get one acronym due to different understanding and cultures BUT as accessibility shows up within these we have to ensure its also about attitudinal accessibility. Most think under that term ramps or trains/buses #AXSChat

A3 have to cover anxiety such as adaptation anxiety, disablism anxiety, accessibility anxiety... within social justice frameworks not medical ones. These anxieties impact our allies (parents...). Have to use and own these terms #AXSChat

A2 Disablism burnout: (burnout due to experiencing systemic discrimination based on irrelevant ability norms); needs to be treated as social justice issue not mental health issue and has to include adaptation burnout and disablism anxiety (not medical angle) #AXSChat

A1 Anti-Disablism: the fight against systemic discrimination based on arbitrary ability judgments or ability judgments based on or rooted in ability privilege and/or irrelevant ability norms. Everyone is ability judged. Allows for allies with other marginalized people #AXSChat
