Which is one of the ways ability informs rape culture - people with disabilities are far more likely to be victims than abled people.  People with disabilities are dehumanized and infantalized in ways that make them easier to victimize by abusers and makes it harder for them to get taken seriously if/when they report their abuse (assuming that they’re even capable of reporting it at all which isn’t always the case).

(via rapeculturerealities)

Of course it varies from disorder to disorder. Sociopaths often make it far in business and politics
