Oh yeah, that makes so much sense! This convo really opened my eyes because admittingly when I think of disabilities on FR I think of ones like mine (learning disability+speech impairment.. college is hell for me) or something else like rheumatoid arthritis. While my disabilities don't really get in the way of MOST things on FR, I need to remember that "disability" is such a huge umbrella and that the FR fanbase is pretty big and diverse.
You're valid in letting your disability be known and I am glad you managed to even reap in a benefit of befriending similar folks who Get You. You deserve it!
(...Are you, by chance, the one Anon who accidently missed putting someone elses breeding pair on a nest before roll over because you went into an episode? :O )
I'm glad to hear that :D There's lot about disabilities that isn't talked about.
And yeah! I am that anon, lol. That was such a mess. Was my first (and only?????) seizure. Docs chalked it up to a really really bad hemiplegic migraine making my brain short circuit.
(Hilariously, it made getting a medical marijuana card all the easier, and I am down from 2-3 hemiplegic migraines a week to 2-3 a month! THC is a lifesaver.)
