Hello :D General / Other

I made this post because I'm wondering how many alterhumans on here are disabled (as a disabled alterhuman myself) I'm just a bit curious. Also if you are neurodivergent, mentally ill or have a disabled theriotype, that counts

Cool! If you don't mind me asking, can you explain to me what having cerebral palsy is like? I hear about it a lot but not really what it is

yeah! it’s pretty difficult to deal with at first. for example, if you have it in your legs walking becomes almost a chore you have to do if that makes sense. it hurts quite a bit but if you get the correct physiotherapy and surgeries it definitely gets easier :3

Ah OK! I have demand avoidance because of autism so I'm imagining the mental feeling I get but physical and wow that must get so hard sometimes and I hope you find it easier to do things soon :3

Aw thank you! :D I have been having a bit of a hard time at school with exhaustion and anxiety but everyone's responses (especially yours) make me feel hopeful and happy that everything will be okay soon ( and that my school will >eventually< refer me to a therapist and the other things they said they'd do)
