This infuriates me!

How dare people use her disability to discriminate against her! 🤬🤬🤬

"Can you read?" Are you serious?

[@kgjewel]

It’s a valid question to prove a point that the ability to read is contradictory to the idea that someone that is neurodivergent is incompetent.

@@kgjewel - The question did feel a bit condescending. A better approach might have been asking something like: "What's an example of something other people think you can't do that you're actually able to do?" and then let her fill in what that 'something' is.

@@d.b.4671 Right? There are a lot of people that can’t read that have the right to vote.

Are you serious? she looks more qualified than most citizens.

She is nothing like Dr. Shawn Murphy on The Good Doctor on ABC.😢

[@DagNeb_It]

Why would that TV show and the stereotype portrayed matter? Weird statement.

[@_JackNapier]
