You must be anti-ableist.
I see ableism in line with racism and fascism in that there is no neutral position on these topics. If you are neutral on racism, you will live in a racist society.

Only if you are anti-ableist, investigating your biases and practices, as well as seeing ableism in the world around you, you can succeed. Otherwise, the inertia of an ableist world will make your work ableist and therefor inaccessible.
