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 entitlement. Don't be an ablesplainer.
Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!
i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, 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 space! 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."

Get the Alessandra mug.alesja is a girl who acts nice to some people but really hates them in reality. as you get closer with her, the stronger she hates you more. alesja chooses her friends wisely as she only has 1 really close bestfriend that she'd call family. you dont know who she is since she distances herself away from her 'friends'. when you get closer to her, she'd part herself away (you may not hear from her in a week to a month). alesja does not care unless it affects herself or her closest family.
