I was recently in New York City and had the opportunity to go to Madison Square Garden on two occasions. Considering that I use a mobility device, and am also autistic, this provided a good opportunity to see how accessible it really was. As a disability advocate, and of course, a disabled person, I use every opportunity when I visit a new event space or venue to experience first-hand just how accessible it is. Not only do I actively use accessibility services myself, but as

As an autistic girly with a special interest in reading, I am here at your disposal to recommend you your reading list for 2026. I read over 200 books in 2025 and many of them were on the topics of neurodivergence and disability. So, whether you are neurodivergent, chronically ill or disabled yourself (or all 3 - lucky you!), or looking to be a better ally for the disabled community (bonus points for the teachers seeking to be better allies), here are my top book recommen

My ADHD leaves me with an eternal itch to want to move. I am constantly restless, but also constantly fatigued from ME/CFS. From lots of past experience, I know that if I give into my ADHD desires to move and do a million and one different things, I will end up very sick and bed-bound for days (my teenage self did this a lot)

Months and months ago I wrote a book. I was bed-bound with physical fatigue and I was in an ADHD hyperfixation kind of mood, so what better to do than write an entire book, right? The product was a 40,000 word memoir detailing my experiences growing up and growing into my disability and the way I've experienced the world as a result. I've always wanted to write a book, to see my book one day on local bookstore shelves. I think it has been a natural product of being such an av

Waking up at 4am with intense period cramps. 3/4 weeks spent with daily cramping. Panadol. Neurofen. Ponstan. Heat packs. All the heat packs. Walking around the house bent over. Lying on the floor, rolled up in a ball. Bloating so much that I feel like I can barely breath. Belly so round and hard, so full of air. So painful. More cramps. More pain. But this is all normal, right? Just "part of being a woman"? That might be what doctors have told me time and time again over the

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 24th birthday with my family and friends. Although this year has been far from easy - hello me/cfs coming back, autism diagnosis and relationship breakup - my birthday this year was one to remember (for all good reasons, thank goodness). If you know me at all, you will know that one of my biggest special interests is The Moomins - a gorgeous community of Finnish trolls that spend their time eating pancakes, drinking coffee and going on adventur

A couple of months ago I purchased a walker for myself. (Side note: it's red and adorned with bows and pink stickers and it's so cute, I love it.) Something I have noticed is that people in the general public seem to act kinder to me when I am out and about with my walker. Strangers open doors for me, old ladies with walkers smile at me, and people make space for me on the footpath. This is obviously lovely, and I am very grateful for their kindness, but part of me can't help
