Narrow Tolerances

[nightengalesknd]

I’ve been lately whomped by the disability binary and thinking about how much in disability comes down to narrow tolerances. I’m not even sure that’s the right term, but I can’t think of a better one

This is probably enough of a derail that I shouldn't go there, but...

How do you think that the problems with binarism play off of the ‘never compare your mundane problems to my Real Disability!’ stuff that seems to emanate a lot from certain circles? I'm pretty weirded out by that stuff, for reasons I would have described as broadly anti-binarist, and because most of the leading values of X that produce ‘everybody's a little X’ or ‘i'm really X(-ish) about this’ are things that huge numbers of people in the circles I travel in pretty clearly in fact have some relatively-mildly-impairing undiagnosed versions of, but I'm always wary of bringing it up.

Not a derail. A tangent, maybe, and one worth exploring
