When living with health conditions and disabilities, the words we use and the way we express ourselves matter to who we are and who we are communicating with.

🟣Identity-first language
This is used when a health condition or disability is part of who the person is, part of their identity, culture, and part of their community.

Examples of Identity-first:

• “I am Autistic”
• “I am Deaf”
• “I am Disabled”
• “I am Diabetic”
• “I am Agoraphobic”
• “I am Epileptic”
• “I am Chronically ill”

🟠Person-first language

This is used when the person is put before their health condition or disability.

Examples of Person-first:

• “I have Autism”
• “I have EDS”
• “I have a Disability”
• “I have Diabetes”
• “I have Agoraphobia”
• “I have Epilepsy”
• “I have a Mental health condition”

Whichever way you choose to communicate is up to you; just choose wording that works for you, so when you need to express yourself to others, you feel comfortable doing so.❤️

Sharing your experiences about your health conditions and disabilities can be one of the bravest things you can do. ❤️

Maybe you share your experiences on social media, online, in a support group, with friends, with family, with new people you meet, when you need support, with organisations, or somewhere else to help others understand you.

Sharing something so personal about yourself isn't easy, but it can have a powerful impact.

❤️Your experiences can help someone think: “I'm not the only one”.
❤️Your experiences can help someone support you.
❤️Your experiences can help someone feel connected to you.
❤️Your experiences can help someone find strength and courage.
❤️Your experiences can help show where better support, services, policies and research are needed.

If you have shared your experiences, what you are doing is brave and makes a difference.

And if someone shares their experiences about their health conditions and disabilities with you, listen to them, be kind to them and be respectful. What they are doing is not easy. ❤️

It’s okay to take a break if you need it, just let someone know.🧡



Video description: In this video, from a seated person's point of view, they are watching someone write on a whiteboard. They open Tap Alert Cards in their HiAlert app and open the screen with the message "I Need a Break". They stand up and show the message to the person writing on the whiteboard, who gestures that it's okay for them to leave.

🧡 Everyone has the right to Self-Advocate.

Self-advocating means expressing and communicating for yourself, your rights, your needs, and your accommodations, so that others can understand, respond and support you.

🧡By self-advocating, it means-
* You understand yourself: What matters to you, what you need, what you find challenging and what helps you.
* You know your needs and supports: What you need to manage your challenges, and how people can support you.
* You communicate your needs: You express yourself and ask others what you need to support you.

Self-Advocating is your right, and your needs matter. You matter. Believe in yourself, understand your needs, and when the moment comes, don’t hesitate to self-advocate.❤️
