This is the exact problem I face every day at school, shockingly mostly from special-ed staff, even though I am not in their program. My friend who is also in a wheelchair got yell at this morning by the special ed teacher for going in the elevator in the wrong order. He is often barrated for being slow even though he can't help it because his nervous system doesn't work right. This is considered the norm.

That’s considered abuse. The teacher should be severely disciplined and taught how to respect his students.

I'm inspired. Thank you.

I don't like that everyone's about to let AI take over peacekeeping, when Neurodiversity hasn't even been dealt with. People usually think being neurodivergent means you're weak, because that is what education has heavily hinted at.
