“Nondisabled people using amenities originally designed for disabled people does nothing but improve our lives”

I feel like it shouldn’t be a hard one to figure out, but apparently it is:

If an resource designed to cater to disability is limited, then don’t use it if you’re not disabled - like the limited number of disabled parking spaces or disabled toilets; if you use one, then someone who needs that resource won’t have access.

But if a resource is not limited, then more use will encourage more production. So use it! Buy it! Gluten free food became cheaper and more widely available after it became a fad diet, and now it’s easier for coeliacs to buy the food they need. Stim toys like fidget cubes became widely available and common use when they became a fad.

The less niche something is and the more commonly used something is, the easier it will become to obtain.
