[3 different thumbnails given to you randomly. All have words in yellow text. One says “explaining ableist language” another has “intro to ableist language” and one says “what is ableist language?”. They are all next to the disabled pride flag and on a digital art wooden background with a grey table in the bottom left corner]

it is about what ableist language is, as well as things such as how it impacts disabled and neurodivergent people, and how you can go about not using it

ya know, like how calling things "autistic" as an insult doesn't help us, an example in the video. Seems p cut and dry that it fits in here
