There are a lot of stigmas in society, and living with a disability has its fair share of stigmas. As a society, we often like to compare things.

We are addicted to comparing things; we have whole reality shows dedicated to it. Sometimes comparing one thing to another is how we try to understand it.

Yet, there is danger in comparing someone’s disability to another person’s disability. Everyone’s bodies are unique and so are their disabilities.

The Infinite Benefits of Including Students With Disabilities
I was in my daughter’s middle school for a meeting with some of her teachers. As I was walking down a hallway with a few of them they stated, “Look, there is Yassy! She is cycling away. We hear she loves to go in that room and ride the bike for the whole gym class. She is in great shape.”  I looked in the room and there weren’t many other kids in there. It was new, with a glass wall, so I saw her and took this photo. It is blurry because I was trying to be quick, so as not to distract her.

5 Holiday Tips for Parents of Kids With Disabilities
I love the holidays. I have this fun tradition where, around September, I start sneaking tiny Christmas decorations out and hiding them around this house since my husband is of the belief they should be banned until Thanksgiving. I love rocking out to Christmas tunes and I obsess over giving gifts that show my people how much they mean to me. I’ve also learned that parenting kids with disabilities can complicate parts of the holidays.

Dear Sia and Hollywood, Stop Hiring Ableds to Play Autistic People

3 Things You Need to Stop Doing to Get Started
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”George EliotGetting started with doing what you deep down want to do in life can be hard.No matter if what you want is to start exercising, create your own business on the side, write a book, see other parts of the world, improve your relationship with yourself or something entirely else.But often we make getting started a lot harder than it needs to be by standing in our own way.So today I’d like to share 3 things you need to stop doing to step out of your own way and make it so much easier to actually get started instead of just keep dreaming about it.1.

How My Learning Disability Affects My Handwriting
From the time I was a young child, I struggled with my handwriting. Much of the difficulty is due to my learning disability and limited hand dexterity. I can remember feeling the shame and stigma of poor handwriting in elementary school. In first grade, I received a W indicating weakness on my report card for my handwriting. I was diagnosed the previous year as having a learning disability and had an Individual Education Plan.

We Need More Characters With Chronic Illnesses and Disabilities in Fiction
Can you remember the last book you read that featured a character with a disability that wasn’t central to the plot? What about a Black character, or a gay character, where their race or sexuality wasn’t the highlight of the story? And, most importantly, when was the last time you felt represented by a novel? Has a book made you feel seen lately? I hope the answer is yes, but all too often, books are sadly lacking in diversity.

Can We Please Stop Complimenting People for This?
I just listened to an episode of the Yoga Is Dead Podcast called “Vegans Killed Yoga.” I didn’t expect to have such a strong reaction to it, but I definitely did. The part that resonated most strongly with me was the common practice of equating thinness with wellness. In yoga, we often see white, thin, strong women as the ideal “yoga body.” Obviously, there is no yoga body. But that isn’t always easy to remember. And I think everybody (and especially anybody with influence in the wellness industry) needs to actively work to dismantle this idea. In this episode, they did a great job of discussing how often being heavier is often healthy, while losing weight can be a sign of unhealthy habits or a symptom of disease.

When My Family Tells Me Not to Call Myself Disabled
After being diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia, I came to terms with the fact that I am chronically disabled at 21. I had crying fits over the fact that my entire life was in shambles because of one condition. My hypersomnia was the determining factor for everything I disliked about myself. My memory loss, vivid dreams and always being tired are all side effects of my hypersomnia.

Being a high-risk individual in these times has affected me in colossal ways. I am immunocompromised with heart and lung disease to boot. There are people like me who are literally terrified of going out in the public. Trying to accomplish projects and get jobs done has been like pulling my own teeth.

How the Theory of Multiple Intelligences Can Help People With Learning Disabilities
I can remember the beginning of each school year and having to complete a test that would help us find our own unique learning style. I wanted to know how to learn best and do well at school. I never had one particular learning style that helped me to learn. I have a learning disability and often felt “dumb” around my peers, who had more of a set learning style and academics came easier for them. I was so boxed into one way of viewing learning that I did not realize intelligence is not measured by a narrow set of standards, but a wide array of ways of thinking.

Please Stop Telling Me to Be Productive During a Pandemic
I was lying in bed on one afternoon, and it might have seemed like any other relaxing Sunday. Except the walls seemed to be getting closer and closer, trapping me in a grip of hopelessness. Breathing seemed like too much effort, depriving me of the last ounce of hope I had left. The world seemed too much, everything was a chore, even the mere fact of being alive. Just like any other Sunday, except we are in the middle of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and most of us face problems we never thought we would encounter before. This combined with my mental health issues has been a challenge enough.

3 Simple Steps to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other People

How Hockey Helped Me Achieve My Goals in Life With Learning Disabilities
The hockey photo accompanying this article was taken in the fall of 1997 during my senior year of high school when I played on the Junior Varsity hockey team. I had to work my tail off just to get a spot on that team. You see, I never put on a pair of ice skates until I was 14 years old, and I didn’t even play ice hockey until I was 16. My coach told me going into senior season that my biggest drawback was being an underdeveloped skater, but whenever my skating developed, my opponents had better watch out!

How Illness, Hospitalization and Disability Transformed My Life
In 2009, I developed a rare illness called Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis (a variant of GBS). Overall, I spent three-and-a-half years in medical facilities: six weeks in a coma, 18 months in bed in the hospital, and two years in rehab and group homes. By the time I finally moved into my own suite in my caregiver’s home, disabled and a wheelchair user, I was not the same person I used to be. In fact, virtually my entire personality had changed, and my life has been radically altered in all areas.

Why Many Disability Advocates Aren't Celebrating the Election of Madison Cawthorn
North Carolina U.S. Representative-elect Madison Cawthorn, who uses a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury he experienced when he was 18, made headlines in August when he stood using a walker at the Republican National Convention. Cawthorn won his election on Tuesday, and is now the youngest Republican ever elected to Congress. With Cawthorn’s spotlight comes not only an increased duty to represent his constituents, including disabled people, but also more scrutiny, as many advocates argue that his campaign has perpetuated damaging narratives about disability.

Why Breaking Down is the Best Way to Stop Worrying
But isn’t positive psychology about looking on the brighter side of life?Well yes and no.Yes, because it aims to examine and make use of the positive institutions of emotions, thoughts, and experiences like how I try to focus on happiness, gratitude, kindness, love, and resilience.No, because just because I am having an optimistic perspective, does not mean that I should deny myself of the feelings of pain and suffering.“It is like not letting myself be consumed but instead recognizing the negative aspects of life but also learning to focus on the hopeful facets of a certain problem or situation.”Worrying is our mental reaction to uncertainties and the likelihood of having undesirable consequences, it is like the fear of being in-between of
