my experience of ableism in addictions treatment and what could be done to improve patient care
These are questions I answered as part of a panel for the Opioid Use in Primary Care conference (OUPC 2024). I have a long history of substance use issues related to complex trauma. I talk about ableism i've experience when accessing care and also answer some other questions about my experience and how things could possibly be improved.
This was a conference aimed at primary care providers (Doctor's, Nurses etc) so this is why i'm using more medicalized language than I normally would.
OUD = Opioid Use Disorder
These are the questions I answered:
Q1: Tell us a little about yourself?
Q2: Could you please speak to how opioid use treatment is ableist in nature and how this can create barriers for people who are neurodivergent?
Q3: What are the differences you experience, when accessing opioid medications for pain management vs. that of OUD treatment?
Q4: If opioid use disorder treatment were to shift more towards treatment in primary care rather than specialized clinics, what would you envision this looking like? How would this be beneficial or harmful to you?
00:00 - intro
01:29 - Q1 a bit about me and relevent history
03:46 - Q2 ableism in opioid use treatment
16:55 - Q3 difference in treatment accessing meds for OUD vs pain

    It's July 15. I requested a cast member interview at 10:24 this morning. At around noon, I had to use the restroom and when I came back to the computer it logged me out of the system because I didn't type a word while waiting and I had to start over. About every 20 minutes, it makes you type the word "YES" to stay in the line. Then, about every hour or so, it says "Error, use the back button" even though there is no back button to hit. I refresh the page instead, and the chat box comes back up... just in time to type "YES" again. It is so frustrating, and I am fully expecting a denial of service even though I have been granted DAS in the past. Honestly, all I care about it having the line reservation that doesn't expire. It never gave me any real advantage except that. It is now 5:24pm and still nothing. So, seven hours I've been waiting.

    I had no idea how many people are "disabled." Or that "disability" is in the eye of the individual. With like 10% of the country disabled, and the other 90% sincerely believing they're disabled, why not operate like Tokyo Disney and make EVERYONE WAIT IN LINE. That's one of the reasons why Disney Japan still has the magic while original Disney is worried about offending a 50 year old man who insists on using a woman's restroom. Or one disabled person claiming another person is "not disabled." Sorry, but if you have the intestinal fortitude to go on "Tower of Terror," you are fit enough to wait in a modern, air-conditioned, line.

    I did the call twice and was denied twice. I have an actual diagnosis with paperwork for ASD and ADHD, I am 100% disabled vet with sugar instabilities, mobility issues, PTSD and told them and the nurse they had me talk to all about that. It seems because wam an adult that was diagnosed later in life and have no coping training and have just had to limp along when over stimulated or having a meltdown and didn’t have an action plan I was made to feel like I was faking it. So instead my family and I decided the only way for me to deal was to buy the Genie+ and Lightening Lane. So $800 later we were finally able to get through lines without my anxiety making it impossible. Disney should be ashamed and I will be surprised if lots of people don’t start suing.

    WPATH has been completely discredited. They laugh when discussing how they know that children and parents can't provide fully imformed consent and are extremely aware that there is high levels of regret. They laugh about it. About sterilising children. Let that sink in. The world's authority for trans healthcare laugh about leaving children sterile even when they know that many regret it a few years after full gender reassignment. Puberty blockers are not just a pause. 85% of all kids put on them progress to cross sex hormones. These drugs have extremely problematic, adverse effects. "puberty blockers" is a benign way of saying chemical castration: Its the same drug. Male puberty gives over 200 differences and advantages over women. From lung capacity, heart size, adrenal sensitivity, lactic acid response, oxygen absorbtion, muscle fibre density and distribution and many more physiological differences, theres also the height, limb length, weight, and many physical differences. That is exactly why the average 14 year old male athlete matches an olympic female athlete. Thats why the IOC and many sporting bodies have now banned men from women's sports.

    I am disabled. I have sensory issues. ADHD. Let me tell you waiting in a line for a ride is only a very small percentage of the issues of going to a theme park. The gift shops are crowded. The food lines are long getting into the park is a process going through security, the heat in Florida can be overwhelming. We started paying for the genie plus and it has worked out wonderful but if your health issues are pretty severe, I would say going to the theme park should be the last thing on your list. As I am aging, I am looking at other vacation spots that would be more relaxing.

    As an actual permanently Disabled person i have found for years that the Disney corporation has discriminated against disabled people for many years, i live only 11 miles from Disneyland and have been going there since before i remember and after i became disabled and electric wheelchair bound it was more important to my emotional and physical health then ever to have a place to go where it was park like with trees and hope and happiness to provide positivity for my life dealing with several life threatening illnesses, and I go alone with my mother waiting for me outside the gate, its just me in my wheelchair as i only have enough energy to last 3 to 4 hours total, but when Disney started literally "cracking" down on disabled people i no longer felt welcome and it became a place of negativity for me to the point where i went less and less then i stopped altogether and havent gone back in years and now i have nowhere to go and spend my days laying in my bed. Now i have been paying attention to all that has been reported so far and i feel that this is almost a "war" Disney has started against the sick and injured, why, why is that? To say to the public that only people who are Autistic are to be considered "disabled" shows an outright ignorance of even the most rudimentary medicine i can only come to the conclusion that they dont want someone making a noisy "fuss" in a long line that might annoy other people in line. But now i am hearing horror stories how Disney is sometimes not even allowing Autistic people to be helped out so that they dont have to be in long lines what is that all about? There are hundreds of "hidden" illnesses that make people with them have a very hard time dealing with day to day life. I could go on for hours about people being told to "well wear diapers then" or "practice being immobile in a long line at home first so you can get used to it" etc etc but i dont need to clearly Disney Corp is blatantly Discriminating against the Disabled for their profit and feel they are too "big" for any one to do anything about it, I call on everyone who is negatively affected by all this to find out all the things they can do to put a stop to this contact local, state and federal offices that protect the ones who can protect themselves not so I or others like me can go and spend a lot of money at this corporations venues I dont want to go anywhere near these places anymore but to stop this sort of inhumane treatment of those who still have a wish or a dream that life can be hopeful no matter how ill you may be.

You’ve truly helped me get through a hard time myself and 54 years old I work as an educational assistant for the board where I live in Canada Ontario because I am autistic and I act differently. I am a bottom up thinker nothing is hidden for me when I am working with autistic children. I’ve been doing it for 35 years now, I’ve been having a horrible time at work lately with some of my coworkers because I react differently in different situations and I’m really good at my job. They are jealous. They want to control me in fact they’re trying to get me to lose my job by doing horrible things or putting words in my mouth or setting me up for failure , which doesn’t end up working I am an autistic dyslexic person ADHD. Also we have a new principal even union war he was horrible with people that need accommodations even if I open up my mouth because I also have they called face blindness to me recognize different parts of my mind , there’s nothing wrong with my intelligence. I just do things different differently and I’m affected by parts of the world differently but every time open up my mouth to just ask for a little bit more info. I’m told I need to go get a doctors note if it sounds like I want an accommodation treat me horribly. I hurt myself 20 years ago on the job. I use a chair because I can get sore my lower back and hip and he told me to put somewhere else cause I don’t have a accommodation for which I did but in the fine print, I noticed it said will check up in a year , but never happened. I don’t know why he doesn’t have any info but anyway we are disabled just we shouldn’t need accommodations so we could talk to Neurotypical people I’m treated horribly ignored. You know crazy my motto is it doesn’t matter what I think reality and truth around me is what I perceive , atypical mind and the Neurotypical mind working together they can do things I can’t do and I can do things they can’t do together we’re better. I just wish they would treat me like a normal human being nasty I mean they close doors on me to hurt me type rude they’ll say things that happened that didn’t happen , every conversation I’m going to have to start taping that’s how bad it is. Insane God help me thanks for doing your videos. I appreciate it very much. You just being there for the autistic community. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

    I am having trouble transitioning out of my parents house, into a job. I am 34. Some of it is my own doing, and being pretty anti-social towards my parents, and towards certain authorities (middle and upper level supervisors......at least in the past....it's somewhat consistent), at any job site. It is incredibly hard. Establishing any sort of monetary base is incredibly hard. Not only does it mean doing things I don't want to do, or that involved being in the heat, rain, and snow. It means a) Being nice to people who are outright mean to me, and don't have any common interests relative to me. b) Being extra nice around any manager or supervisor (no exceptions). c) Being nice to customers (I guess this is reasonable). d) (I didn't even think about this for a long time) Save money, and build wealth.

At about 30 I kind of had a breakdown and started living as a woman and felt a lot better and also found a lgbt clinic who didn't brush me off. Got through most of the awkward trans stuff and feel like I can blend in now as a woman and hoping I can make the best of my 40s. My parents disowned me but thankfully I managed to keep my IT job which helped provide stability during all this.

For anxiety stuff it's taken a long time to learn to cope better and still feel anxious a lot of the time, but being able to stim for me helps, and figuring out what kind of stimming helps most. Also being able to have breaks and control my living space. Some amount of medication helps me also just to calm my nervous system a bit but thats different for everyone of course. Doing things that put me in a flow state really seems to help, like learning a new skill or learning stuff for a special interest or playing a video game or listening to music.

    thank you for this video. i rarely experience meltdowns (maybe three in the last few years?) - usually i shut down. for me there's two kinds. the first is what happens when i'm in public, and it's like my executive functioning just shuts off and making myself talk or do anything other than fidget/scroll on my phone without really looking at anything/dig my nails into my skin just feels impossible. it sucks because i look like i'm just being antisocial or grumpy or sulking, but i'm actually emotionally overwhelmed and/or overstimulated. the second is what happens when i get through an overwhelming event, or was overstimulated for a period of time and have now got out of it, and it's like my brain and body force me to rest - most recently i was at a protest, and the weather was hot, and i got through all that and walked 40 minutes to get home feeling horrible but able to do stuff, and i showered, and then i was like "god i need to lie down" and i just... couldn't get up again for a couple of hours. all sounds were too loud, the light from my phone screen hurt my eyes but i felt too emotionally fragile to let my mind wander so i needed the distraction, and i knew i needed to get up soon to go to a choir rehearsal but i just physically couldn't make myself. it's more than tiredness, it's like half my body and brain functions have been turned off. on the rare occasions when i melt down, it basically just looks like crying for ages. i'm very lucky that it doesn't involve lashing out or hurting myself/others in any way - it looks more like a panic attack or anxiety attack i think, and i'm still not 100% sure i can tell the difference.

      Thanks for sharing your experience!🙂 I relate to a lot of what you said. It's so frustrating like you said about how these things are viewed by people externally. Like feeling so vulnerable during a shutdown and like I need help, but as you said, to other people it might look like I am just grumpy or antisocial so they are even less likely to be of help. For meltdowns vs panic attacks differences, I think for me a meltdown is much more whole body physical and more crying, and a panic attack is more mental but also a lot of worrying about my heart and being able to breathe.

    Thanks, Millie. 🫂💖 It has been real scary for us since before covid... I had already planned to make a video about trans genocide before the pandemic although that didn't happen for a variety of reasons, my mental & now physical health being part of it. I'm thankful that I pass for male (I'm agender), but we need to stick together regardless, so I'm here to help if you need anything. 💖

My trauma recovery is going well, I'm down from weekly to monthly visits with my therapists... but my physical health is worse... I seem to have developed covid-induced POTS that keeps me in bed most of the time.

    Why add such a layer of huge stress to your life by changing genders when you already struggle with the small transitions of every day life? The cross sex hormones will be affecting your body and your brain which will not help a neuro divergent person manage their activities of daily living.

    • @cherrymintrose
      @cherrymintrose 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The simple answer is because transitioning was hugely beneficial by reducing stress. Even though it reduced my stress overall, there was still some things that were increased stress of course, but those are mostly social things that could be fixed by people being more accepting of me. Transitioning pretty much cured me of chronic depression as well. I can't prove that of course because i'm just one person, but that's been my experience so far. Also just being alive, which I might not have been had I not transitioned, is still a good result in itself. Activities of daily living wouldn't matter if I wasn't alive. At least this way i'm alive, not depressed, and that helps me deal with the other challenges of being ND much better.

    Thank you for this video, I can relate so well to this. I think it’s helpful to hear others experience to get useful words so I can explain this to myself and my closest ones. I’ve never realized until lately that I actually have meltdowns, but only when I’m alone. Like I have to rant or something when I get inside, like I have so much frustration built up, sometimes hitting a pillow or something, never hurting myself/anyone or breaking things. When others are around I just shut down. I usually shut down when I’m with my partner for too long, even after a couple of hours. I can’t process anymore, don’t have the energy or patience to listen to him talking anymore, can’t speak, can’t be touched, it’s like there’s so much energy in my skin. It’s just so hard for me to be in a relationship for all kinds of reasons, and I’ve come to the conclusion I have to end this for both of our sakes. I need so much freedom and so much quiet alone time to function my best.

      Thanks for sharing! You have a very clear and thoughtful way of describing your experience. I'm sorry about your relationship...it sounds like you have a good idea of what you need though. I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, and sometimes I want to be but then I don't really try, for I think similar reasons to yours.

    -These are children we are talking about not an adults own personal perspective of transitioning! -It has been proven that 85% of children grow out of it and an additional 15% by 25 yrs old. 0% IF put on blockers, as stopping growth, stops ability to grow out of it also! You have had the opportunity to know it was right for you (although I am unsure if you were provided proper treatment and other options, or have done yrs of independent psychiatric therapy or only affirmative care) but taking away the opportunity for 85% plus kids that would have grown out of it, to grow out of it, is wrong! -Affirmative care is wrong! No psychiatrist does an evaluation and determination immediately and only can say YES you are and yes do it. Can you imagine a professional psychiatrist saying that to any other person with issues? Humans need to be challenged in order to get to the root and the REAL diagnosis! Too many detrans have discovered they were NOT trans and had a different disorder AFTER the fact and have permanent damage BECAUSE of affirmative care! -Puberty blockers, their is a halt for a reason! There is not enough data and not enough studies were done to paint the full picture. Admittedly nobody did proper follow up and nobody considered the 85% that would have grown out of it, they are now also looking into the fact affirmative care was not actually treating people and the heavy influence of social-media on teenagers! -Woman's change rooms/washrooms, it is NOT 2 different things! Allowing MEN into woman's change rooms is ONE thing! Whether someone is a male that is innocent or guilty of watching woman change, sa, exposing themself etc, they are now ALL allowed in! The guilty men are allowed in because of only ONE reason! NO men is what protected woman and children! -WOMAN are not privileged! They live in a world of enduring physical violence, SA, harassment, being murdered, intimidation, domestic a b use and are the VULNERABLE ones as well as children! This is why men should not be in woman's private spaces OR brought in through the means of any other! -transexual vs trans gender, this change is also what has made it worse, now a big hairy straight guy can just simply put a barrette in his hair and come into a female change room! Is Lia Thomas considered a creepy? No! yet showed her male parts to the woman and watched them change! So even the "innocent" trans, not straight males with a barrette are CHOOSING to do what makes woman feel threatened, intimidated, degraded, forced to look at a male part (that's why indecent exposure is a crime). I watched a trans debate and 8 out of 9 said they will NOT put a towel over male part in presence of woman and children in female change rooms! Also stating "why should they have to do anything to make woman or kids feel safe, they will do what they want". So it's ok for that treatment PLUS the male creeps? A separate trans washroom and change room is the only thing that makes sense!

      Trans women aren't men and they wouldn't go after children all they need to do is to go to the washroom when they need. A lot of transgender people are scared to go to the washroom because THEY get harassed just because they need to go.

    I am definitely in the conservative side, but I like hearing ideas and arguments from bith sides from time to time to try and avoid the "echo chamber" And I can tell, you are proyecting a lot here, I can tell you actually get a rush of emotion talking about this kind of topics, but the way you express yourself clearly shows that you are scared of the effects this policies will have (fear) and don't want to dive in the other side of the argument because you dismiss it by default (ignorance) This last point is specially clear to me when you share ideas along the lines of how a man abusing the "I am trans" card to creep on woman is not a trans issue but a "bad men issue", yet the idea of some families not accepting their children being trans is a trans issue instead of a "bad family" issue You take to heart the issues trans acceptance have but dismiss those that trans acceptance generates and if I had to guess why, it would be because you just asume trans==all good & trans=/=anything bad Yet, you were calm about everything (which os refreshing, most people are far to emotional about this stuff for my liking), so I applaud you, and I encourage you to keep in the path of reasoning and to dive into the other side of the argument from time to time

      Thanks for your thoughts, I think you'd be surprised I do consume a lot of information from both sides. I know it's easy for me to just say that but it's true. If you have some resources related to the examples you gave i'll have a look at them. For your second example, I don't really understand the point so well because to me it's a trans issue and a parenting/family issue, but maybe i'm misunderstanding your point.

    You already have the same human rights everyone else does, and you don't deserve special privileges. Tolerance of bullshit isn't virtuous, PARTICULARLY when that bullshit is castrating CHILDREN, on the same shit the actual NZ experiment doctors were with the sex changes but WORSE now. FUCK your religion, I believe in science, and in science there's no such thing as being "born in the wrong body". The people you claim to be supporting are fucking ceasing themselves because of the horrific medical experiments they were duped into having done to them by the likes of YOU, endebted to a lifetime of irreversible pain, isolation, and physical and financial distress. You are genuinely horrible. There is no virtue here, and your mental illnesses don't even begun to excuse this shit. Thank God I didn't continue with sports in school because a man exposing himself to me in the locker room and the school system trying to gaslight me into pretending that wasn't a problem would've been sexually traumatic.
