What is the Disability Terrorist?
The disability terrorist is much like a writing teacher I used to have, someone who would pick on you for things you cannot help like having a disability. I mean really, my schizophrenia is now treated very well. But back then, in college, I didn’t necessarily have a handle on my diagnosis either. Yes, my family would manipulate me into not going to the psychiatrist but going to see internists instead. Internists do not know enough about mental health otherwise, because sure, they know about mental illness but not enough about medication. I realized what a mistake that was many years later, at least 9 or 10 to be exact. I’m finally stable in the present after a long, harrowing battle. The thing is, I knew I had something mental illness related, but I didn’t know I was schizoaffective until I was 30.
