‘challenged’ is a euphemism created by abled people/parents to make themselves feel more comfortable about our disabilities. like ‘special’ or ‘gifted’ or ‘old soul’ or ‘spirited’.

i won’t dress up my disabilities. i am disabled. if that makes an abled person uncomfortable: good. the sooner i accepted that i am disabled, the sooner i could move on with my life.

EDIT: lmao i’m shadowbanned from piefed.social.
