E: in future, try "additional needs"
I changed the title. I didn't realize it could be offensive. It was copied over from the website in my defense.
We don't know what we don't know, not to worry, but now you do, and your edit is appreciated. :)
E: bonus, before the edit the link only led to the photo for some reason, but now it leads to the actual article! (which also makes it more obvious that you didn't choose the title)
Yeah I messed up the original post. I corrected it when I realized I didn't put the link right while editing the title. Silver lining 🙂
Sorry I'm not good at that social media stuff.
Don't worry about it, you're doing great. 😊
E: and hey, thanks to this post, I discovered another disability related community, and I'm sure others have too, so thanks!
