What kind of things do you do to make life easier for other disabled people?
I have a principle with myself that I will try and make workplaces/places I go more friendly for other people with disabilities. We all know how exhausting it gets to constantly advocate for yourself, the least I can do is advocate for others.
My ideas:
- Dyslexia font option, and writing my documents with one normal and one with the dyslexia font
- Creating mods for games that add dyslexia font or help with colorblindness
- Mods or edits in movies/shows/games that cut out or dim the flashing lights (a warning is one thing, but it also makes the thing inacessible as I understand it?)
- Advocating for extra lifts/ramps on train stations/places where I don't see any (when the elevator is out of order, I'm screwed)
- Mods for games that make you able to play them entirely with one hand (mouse or keyboard)?
- In team games where there are colors, I ask if anyone is colorblind beforehand (some people wouldn't speak up when they couldn't see the dots on the HUD because I'd chosen a color they couldn't see well)
Alternatively, what would help if others did for you?
