school principal tells me im not allowed to use cane for "not being disabled enough"
i made a post a while ago speaking about how i had just FINALLY started bringing my cane to school in order to help me with going up and down stairs. today, the principal approached me, asking why i needed the cane.
when i explained to her my issue, she told me i shouldnt have a cane because i can walk. she asked me if it was involved in my iep plan, and i told her no since my mri scan was done in another country i live in (colombia) but the papers of the diagnosis could be provided. i also informed her that i am currently getting another diagnosis for the same thing here in the states since they ignore diagnoses from other countries.
she straight up told me that i had to put it away, despite the explanations and repeated that i shouldnt have it if i could walk. this was hurtful and im really mad right now since this isnt the first time my principal has implied i wasnt disabled enough for certain things (first time was when i had an active stalker that was also autistic, telling me to cut him slack because he was "more autistic than me". he had straight up followed me home before to scream at me and i had video evidence).
ok rant over thanks for letting me scream you can reply with your own opinions on the matter since this is just my view on things and id like to hear from other perspectives
