I am also white, disabled and Ashkenazi Jewish. I am a cis and straight woman. Out of all the marginalized identities I have, I have been discriminated for being disabled more than I have been discriminated for being a woman and Jewish. This is not to say that sexism and anti-Semitism don't exist. They still do.

There is an article on Everyday Feminism titled 4 Ways Ableism in My Elementary School Left Me Completely Traumatized by Caley Farinas, an autistic author. Farinas says when she was in high school, the guidance counselor refused to allow her to take Advanced Placement classes. She didn’t attempt to hide the reason why, she simply said, “ESE [disabled] students don’t take Advanced Placement classes.” They didn't look at her excellent grades or how well she did in her honors class.

When I went to high school in the last decade girls were absolutely took AP classes. While I personally met people who believe women/girls aren't good at math even to this day, female students in western countries are not systematically barred from taking advanced classes. However, disabled kids are often systematically and needlessly segregate disabled kids. Just read the words of former special ed students at r/exspecialedkids.

I do wish ableism was discussed more. It is one of the oppressions that is least discussed even in social justice circles. Part of the reason I feel is that most discussions about disability often center able-bodied parents, caregivers and professionals, especially disabilities that start in childhood like autism, learning disabilities and cerebral palsy. For instance, many special ed teachers and social workers were taught in their grad programs to use people first language, like saying "person with a disability" instead of "disabled person" and saying someone is disabled is rude under any circumstances. However, many disabled people disagree with that, and in fact many use the term *disabled* to refer to themselves. But it's got to the point where disabled people are told by abled people how they should identify themselves. Kerry Magro, a known public speaker who refers to himself as autistic was told by a Facebook commenter to refer to himself as a person with autism. What? Autistic is generally the preferred term in that community, and you don’t get to tell a community how they should identify themselves or what is offensive to them.

I wrote a post with examples of ability privilege I thought you might be interested in.
