Twitch has not yet recognized Disability Pride Month with a shelf, and we'd like to call attention to our member ( @QueerlyBee ) who created a UserVoice a few years ago! UserVoice is the best way to get Twitch to listen, so please vote!

Recently, someone suggested on our suggestion board that we discuss the “dangers of self-diagnosis”. There are no “dangers of self-diagnosis”. There is nothing to be gained from improperly diagnosing oneself, as most institutions require evaluation for access to support (1/?)

Disability affects every aspect of life: work, social relationships, energy, and more. Many disabled people that receive funds for their disability do not get enough to cover expenses because the amount is often not reviewed for ability to maintain basic needs security.

Disabilities do not suddenly disappear because you gave one disabled person a certain amount of money; disabilities are lifetime journeys themselves, or the recovering from a disabling event can take a lifetime. Please do not judge your friends for asking for support monthly.

People who receive disability may not be able to work and may even be limited in how many “donations” they can receive before they are pulled off of financial support.

Disabled people who can work may have their hours limited, and that is if they can even get a job, since many locations discriminate against disabled people through their job requirements (i.e. lifting a certain number of pounds, standing for a number of hours per day, etc.).

As disabled creators, many of our members' lives are politicized. The work we do often requires discussion of topics that are political in nature. We work together to raise money for charity/mutual aid, call our representatives, and demand change through political networks.

Therefore, no one is getting access to any system of support just by stating they have something (sometimes at the harm of someone unable to access the diagnostic process). Many adults are not getting access to diagnosis without some form of self-diagnosis; (2/?)

So, to the person who suggested this, please ask yourself: In what way is someone else’s diagnosis affecting you? Why is it your business? Where is the actual danger? We will never discourage self-diagnosis on this page or in this space. (4/4)

Since this has already come up, having a BIPOC focus is not “reverse racism”. Almost every stream team I’ve been sent/invited to was created by a white person UNLESS they are race-specific; there are no “diverse groups” I’ve been invited to that still uplift BIPOC.

Many members of our team are self-diagnosed or started out self-diagnosed, as many conditions are underdiagnosed due to poor quality of care or in access to the diagnostic system in youth, or even our parents disapproving of specific diagnoses due to stigma (3/?)
