Are you neurodivergent, chronically ill, and/or disabled?
Neurodivergent, chronically ill and disabled.
What health conditions do you have?
ADHD, vertigo, a brain injury and a cognitive disorder.
How do you explain your health conditions to other people?
I’m honest about it. If they ask for a story, then l’ll tell them one.
What impact do your health conditions have on your daily life?
I find it hard to follow conversations and understand certain things when people talk to me. Sometimes it's hard for me to shower because I get dizzy. I also can't walk very well because of my broken leg and chronic back pain.
What barriers have you experienced in making friends and connecting with people?
I don't really have any friends because I always feel judged by people.
What's been your experience on Spoony so far?
I want to spend more time on Spoony, it feels safe and non-judgemental. I haven't been on there as much as I would like.
Each week, we share stories from the incredible Spoony community in our newsletter, podcast, and on social media. Share your story with us.
