What a Pool Noodle Taught Me About Adapting to Changing Health Needs

06.05.2021 / 02:55

I distinctly remember hating the idea of adaptive equipment when my hand therapist (an occupational therapist who specializes in hands) brought it up. I felt weak, that I was somehow failing if I couldn’t do things the same as everyone else. But the truth was, I actually couldn’t. I couldn’t hold a pen normally without pain, and had to admit that, even if I fought it at first.

This New Film Highlights the Joys and Challenges of Young Adulthood With Down Syndrome

Disability self-advocates are not fond of the word “special.” That word has been code for segregation, low expectations, stereotypes, de-humanization and so much more. So when I saw the title of the film “Especial,” which recently played at the ReelAbilities Film Festival NYC, I was hesitant. Especial means special in Spanish. I almost pre-judged the film based on the title alone.

Maya is a senior citizen, a widow living in a small town in India. Her son’s family lives in a metropolis. So far all of them have stayed safe of COVID-19, and yet all that seems to catch Maya’s eyes in the local newspaper is news about death, medical negligence or deaths by suicide. This gives her sleepless nights and sometimes severe anxiety so much so that she doesn’t talk to even a neighbor from across her lawn.

5 Things You Shouldn't Do or Say to Someone Who Self-Harms

05.05.2021 / 21:38

I have struggled with self-harm since I was a kid. Most of us are aware of the tantrums kids put up when they are upset. They hit others, drop to the floor, scream and cry. When I felt overwhelmed by certain emotions, in particular, anger or sadness, I would use my hands to hit my head. I had trouble identifying and regulating my emotions. My primary school counselor told me I had anger management challenges when I shared with her how I found myself unable to control my anger and would hit myself or the wall.
