Like for real you be ashamed of yourself. People like this are Alive and able to read. I am one of them. I’m so exhausted with reading how people who need help like me deserve death because society is lazy in caring for people. I don’t deserve death for your convenience.

At least most seem to have some morals. But people have no idea the severe toll this takes on us higher support disabled. We have to see people treat us like a philosophy parlor game and see the same arguments dehumanizing and complaining about us.

Don’t try to defend yourself I have brain damage, am a danger to self, am bed ridden, can’t use the toilet and can’t speak. I am what you asked about. Stop invalidating someone’s disability the second they stand up against something about them. Hyperlexia is part of my disability

The people I meant to ask about were ones with mental function of <6, but maybe I could have phrased that more clearly.
