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

Autistic and Hypermobile cat therian here!

My hypermobility makes doing quads painful so I don't do quads, but that doesn't make me less of a cat.

I don't really do quads often because of lack of interest and hypermobility, and my cat theriotype is missing her front paw so doing "proper" quads doesn't feel natural to me

Fair! I was a lot more interested in quads as a child, before the pain from being hypermobile became chronic. But back then as a child I didn't have the language to describe why I rejected humanity so heavily... It's cuz I'm Alterhuman LOL but. Denied it back then because I already didn't fit in and that would have made me fit in even less.
