How can I stop feeling so embarrassed about the things I have to help me with my disability?

I have an IEP at school, an individualized education plan. SO I have many accommodations and things to help me. I used to be embarrassed by them as well. And then I realized that it brings me up to their plate. I may not be fully there, but I realize it is there to help me especially when I get bad and I learned to not be embarassed and take it for granted.

I think following disability advocates helps a lot. Find people on instagram, twitter, and facebook who post about disability advocacy and are explicit about their needs and their societal worth. I think the first step is realizing that you're not alone - and that able bodied individuals need accommodations all the time. Plus the accommodations that the disabled community propose help EVERYONE. The more mainstream adaptive technologies are, the more common we see assistive devices, the better the world is for everyone. Reading up on internalized ableism might be helpful too. We've all grown up in a world that discriminates against disabled people, and it's really heavy to put that weight on your shoulders to acknowledge your disability and adapt best you can. Reading memoirs by disabled people can be really really helpful. Understanding that discrimination is a choice, and that barriers to access are built by wrongful assumptions, can help too.
