You know what I don’t get? How my mother is deaf in one ear but she’s really ableist like ???

she tells me to get over my anxiety and she treats me like shit for not understanding social stuff b/c i’m on the autism spectrum? ?

i just don’t get how physically disabled people can be so ableist.

Generally, having one disability doesn’t give you any special understanding of having another type of disability, unless you actively try to gain that understanding.  And the disability community has always had hierarchies of ableism within it.
