Hi everyone thanks so much for accepting me. My disabilities include fibromyalgia, ROP (I was born at 24 weeks gestation.) I'm also autistic and have hyperacusis. I'm hoping to contribute to what looks like a wonderful community.

It's great to see other chronic illness suffers here. As I've noticed the broader disability community despite their best intentions can have a tendency to forget about us. I'm really encouraging thing was to hear an episode on Pushing Limits that covered chronic illness.

Welcome! Nice to meet you. My opinion is that the disability/accesibility movement in general gains a lot from being as inclusive as possible. We are all fighting the same fight, just in different ways. We should all support each other.
