Language is so important for accessibility. The right message displayed says a thousand words. I visited a bank in India, and this was displayed near a sitting sofa. What are your thoughts? #AXSChat @axschat.bsky.social #disability #accessible #inclusion

A minimalist quote graphic on a soft, light textured background. Bold black text reads: “Love doesn’t need perfection, paperwork, or permission. It needs choice, dignity, and the freedom to belong. Disability doesn’t diminish love. It deepens it.” The name “Debra Ruh” appears below in yellow text on a black rectangular banner.

A tweet-style graphic from Debra Ruh with the following text: 'True inclusion means creating a workplace where people with disabilities feel safe to disclose, to be seen, and to ask for what they need. But it’s not just on us to step forward—it’s on employers to prove they’re worth our trust, with actions that match their words.' The background is a deep maroon color, and Debra Ruh's profile picture and verification checkmark are displayed at the top.

‘I don’t see disability’ sounds kind, but it erases us. It means you don’t see the barriers we face, the adjustments we need, or the reality of ableism. Inclusion isn’t pretending we’re the same—it’s seeing us fully and acting on it.

"Ableism looks like calling people 'inspiring' for navigating a system that is designed for exclusion, while doing nothing to hold the system accountable." - Carson Tueller

A pink infographic titled “I can’t have ADHD; I’m not hyper!” challenges common myths about ADHD. It reads “Hyperactivity can look like...” followed by twelve illustrated symptoms including: racing thoughts, impulsive spending, easily distracted, fidgety, reckless driving, extremely impatient, drawing rapid conclusions, mood swings, finishing people’s sentences, difficulty sitting through meals/movies, and craving excitement. The graphic is by @the.chronic.couple.
I can’t have ADHD—I’m not bouncing off the walls.”
I’ve heard that line more times than I can count. But here’s the thing: ADHD doesn’t always look like what you’ve been told.
Hyperactivity isn’t just running around. Sometimes, it’s running thoughts—nonstop.

“Every time we remove a barrier for people with disabilities, we find that it was holding others back too. Inclusion has a way of lifting everyone up.”

I am resharing this amazing effort by CoorDown, "NO DECISION WITHOUT US"
From everyday personal choices to being involved in writing laws and policies, people with disabilities demand a seat at the table where the decisions are made.

What we call ‘clumsiness’ is often a mismatch between human bodies and environments not designed for neurodivergent ways of moving.

A graphic on a tan background that shows an iceberg in the middle. The title says the ableism iceberg and above the water is six statements: everyone is included, we don’t discriminate, disability imagery, ADA compliant, disability ERG, inclusion matters. Below the water it says what’s missing: no disabled bleeders, systemic in accessibility, ableist policies, ablest hiring process, invisible disability bias, neurodivergent erasure, no accommodations budget.
Chris Ruden is absolutely accurate in his analysis through this graphic.

Stop labeling disabled people as 'inspiring' for surviving a rigged system.
The real inspiration would be tearing down the ableist structures that oppress them.
Accessibility, inclusivity, and equal rights aren't optional—they’re overdue.

"They call it courage when disabled people climb walls never meant to exist. True justice isn’t in applause—it’s in dismantling the walls altogether."

On our last #axschat podcast, Gina Bhawalkar, from Forrester, said: Every org should review their accessibility workflow and ask: Where can #AI add value? Are vendors building responsibly or rushing features? Responsible design and the right questions promote real inclusion. #AXSChat #Accessibility
