Inspired by Wheels No Heels (Gem Hubbard), I wanted to share my experiences with the wild things people say to wheelchair-users and the insensitive conversations that we find ourselves in all the time. ....complete with entertaining anecdotes and ludicrous scenarios that I honestly hope supplies some comedy and levity to your day. This was recorded during a brutal, emotional week coping with the children at the border, so I wanted to go back to focus on when I recorded this and brought some lightness into the week, despite a frustrating subject matter. I hope it helps!

✧ Quick Disability FAQ:
-I have the trifecta of EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, mostly hypermobile, but with some crossover into vascular) / POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) / MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)
-I also have Erythromelalgia (aka "Man on Fire").
-Wheelchair user
-I also have many mental health complications from severe childhood trauma, but will mostly focus on medical disability here.
