we need to stop equating lack of independence with lack of maturity. people that live with their parents or have a caregiver or don’t work or need more support than others aren’t inherently immature. there’s lots of reasons why people would be in this situation, even outside of disability (plenty of cultures out there expect people to live with their parents past what we consider the beginning of adulthood), and regardless of the reason we deserve support and community through what is already likely to be an isolating experience. don’t make it worse for us

expanding this to include people who can’t/don’t drive
