Casual ableism is when a group in my speech class does their speech on mental illness with no trigger warnings before hand, refers to anything outside of neurotypical as a “disease,” refers to people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia as “dangerous,” uses images of emaciated people for their anorexia slide without trigger warnings, and makes sweeping generalizations about people with certain disorders (e.g. people with BED stuff themselves and then hate themselves for being fat, people with Bulimia Nervosa eat a lot and then vomit, people with Anorexia Nervosa don’t eat because they think they’re fat, with no mention of EDNOS, of course). Their entire speech was “otherizing” those who are not NT, and half of their information was wrong anyway.
