Even if we decide that that was the one split second decision that acted as the final straw for my program (and I seriously doubt it was), considering that I didn't even know I was disabled until hours before (and therefore not well-versed in navigating the maze that is having a disability in academia), and my diagnosis means that I'm socially impaired, and you technically and clearly offered to HELP me, how the hell was I supposed to know it was a bad idea?!
People can be so fucking ableist and ignorant about it it's disgusting. YOU don't make the decisions for ME! I'm sorry if your world won't be okay unless I make the decisions you think I should. That's a terribly sad way to live considering that you can't make me do what you want me to.
