Individual Perspectives

I've been doing a series of links in my feed of various people who have disabilities.

Since the status of the feed is currently uncertain I want to move all the past links here, and likely will add additional ones in the future.

LIsteners, want to #support those with #ChronicPain and/or #ChronicIllness ? Ken McKim has some videos to help explain what living with these things can be like. The Dear Healthy People series has some good suggestions of what NOT to say. He does have a bit of an American and pain slant. Not all illnesses cause pain, there are other negative symptoms as well!
