: Raven notes that Olivia is stepping away from the podcast for a while.

: How family tends to be ableist, and makes a big deal about your disability.

: Family members identifying people by their disability or medical history, and failing to give as much attention to milestones and accomplishments.

: Our friends value us more as a person and make sure to include us in social gatherings, while family members often leave us out, have obligatory conversations, or react negatively when we attempt to interact.

: Family being less likely to respect boundaries as much as friends do.

: It’s easier to set boundaries and have a hands-off relationship with friends because they don’t tend to be as hung up on how your disability impacts how you do simple things.

: Folks being uncomfortable with consuming food cooked, or brought, by blind people. Why?!

: Outro.
