Autism

I am tired of the way autism is shown and discussed in the media. It is not only harmful for relatives of autistic people - but also for us who are diagnosed with autism. You can quickly come to think that you are a "bad autist" or that you are wrong when you rarely see a nuanced story about what autism is in the media. Autism is not a disease. Autism is not a great gift either. Autism is just autism. .

I concur

Creativity emerges when you begin to create something from what you absorb on a regular basis.

Kiki’s story

Abandoned by her mother, unable to stand, and highly malnourished, Kiki, the lamb, has struggled her entire life. Unable to get the nourishment she needed from her mother, Kiki’s growth was stunted, too weak even to try to stand, her legs became contracted, giving her even poorer odds of survival. Luckily, a vet stepped in to provide 11-day old Kiki a second chance. Now at 3 ½ months old, Kiki has spent most of her life lying down on one side of her body. Only able to move when she’s carried by one of her rescuers. With the support of her 4-wheel Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair, Kiki is standing up for the first time!

My mother’s accident

Hello everyone. Me and my family is having some hard times after my mother’s recent accident. She’s 70 years old and hurt her back after slipping and falling down the stairs a couple of weeks ago. She hasn’t suffered any permanent damage but she’s still having a lot of pain when she’s moving. Her doctor said she didn’t have any broken bones or anything but I’m especially worried about her. Any advice on how to make her more comfortable moving around?

Life on wheels

Me on a wheelchair I've been keeping to myself this week; between lots of (mostly telehealth) appointments and other annoyances I haven't felt like doing anything except drawing in my sketchbook. I also decided that the Propranolol I've been taking for anxiety isn't doing anything for me, so the prescriber sent me a mouth-swab genetic test to determine the best medication for me. Pretty cool! It's getting easier and easier not to have to leave the house for anything 😄 It gives me a level of independence I wouldn't have otherwise. I'm super grateful that grocery delivery is a thing, even if some of the shoppers have questionable judgment when choosing items 🙃 I was pretty sore today, but I'm hoping to feel ok enough to go to the new local botanical gardens tomorrow for the first time. The worst part is transferring in and (mostly out) of the car. Somehow it's been 3 1/2 years, and I still completely suck at it 🙄 After all the wrangling and manhandling it takes with whoever's helping me, my nerve pain is on fire. Not to mention embarrassing if anyone's around. So I really need a way to deal with that problem...

Amputee with hope

I was a healthy sporty teenager who used to be adventurous, but trying crazy stuff cost me a lot. I liked the idea of Parkour, it just feels like there are no borders, just jump it or climb your way around walls and buildings. One time I did a crazy stunt, I was on the roof of building and tried to jump to the next building's emergency stairs, I landed poorly, my leg got stuck between steel bars, it got broken and injured. That seemed curable but gangrene got to my leg through the wound. It had to be cut off from under the waist. I can't describe how that felt for a teenager that used to be full of life and power. I suffered from depression for 3 years, failed my classes and lost the will to live. But with therapy and inspiring handicapped people I got back on track again, especially after watching the Paralympic games, I watched them with passion and thought how great that they have the power to be professional athletes, So I decided to be one. I saw amputee swimmers who the same issue like me, and wanted to start training. It's been two years and the city mayor helped provide all I needed to train and participate in contests. I'm thankful to everyone who inspired me to get my life back!
