TW: ableism

So I posted a while ago about feeling lonely. I decided to join drama club. I was originally in drama club before I had to move to alternative school. I had to leave drama club due to ableism. I would miss rehearsals for doctor's appointments, being in the ER the night before, or just being sick and people would talk badly about me. I would find out because other people would inform my friend who would inform me. They would intentionally isolate me from club activities and club parties and look at me funny when I tried to join them. Walk all over my boundaries regarding my ADHD, my autism, and my disability. I couldn't even go to the teacher because she was a part of the problem. She would intentionally disregard my accommodations and act like I was asking for a million dollars if I asked for the most basic accommodations. After my surgery I decided I wouldn't be a doormat anymore and start enforcing my boundaries. The second they realized they couldn't bully the autistic kid anymore, they sent mean messages, posted mean things about me on their Snapchat stories, and talked badly about me with others. So I stopped going. Recently I messaged the leader of the other drama club and asked if I could go there. She was amazing and said I was always welcome with them. Although this has led to a new experience. Realizing everything I go through was able-bodied people isn't exactly normal. When I told someone I was used to this behavior they were surprised. They were even more surprised when I said I didn't go to administration because most people just don't care. I come from a family of disabled people, so I was raised to expect this. I've also always been treated differently due to my ADHD and autism. I guess this is the first time I've really realized this isn't normal.

UPDATE: The meeting went REALLY well! They really were happy to have me. I walked in and the president greeted me and a few other people said hi. I probably will have to work with people from my old drama club, but if they do anything I can speak with the president or the teacher watching over the rehearsals. It still makes me nervous. They really are mean. However I'm also getting involved with some of the stuff they have going on. I really do feel welcome here. Even if I feel like a complete fish out of water. I'm completely anxious, but that will pass soon. I feel really good
