Since many of our followers might be engaging with the disability and social justice communities for the first time, we decided to produce an episode dedicated to defining important terms. We use these all the time in our podcast, so feel free to come back to this episode as a reference whenever you need it!


Side note: These are not all-inclusive terms for all disabilities and neurodivergencies. Instead, this episode "jet-skis" over the terms to include as many as possible within our time constraints. We leave the "deep sea diving" for our regular episodes. There are more vocab episodes to come!


Terms defined in this episode:

  • Ableism
  • Capitalism
  • Toxic positivity
  • "Nothing about us without us"
  • Examples of ableist language
  • "Policing" disabled expression
  • Identity-first language
  • Person-first language
  • Medical Model of Disability
  • Social Model of Disability
  • Inspiration porn
  • Invisible disability
  • Ambulatory wheelchair users
  • Spoon Theory / "spoonie"
