Hi, my name is Tibik!

Tibik

Hello there. 
I've been disabled since 2006 when the ignorance and arrogance of a doctor cost me a substantial aspect of my back's function, I have an absolutely wonderful assistance dog, a supportive hubby, but miss my life and freedom before disability. I had thought, pre-disability, that I was an insightful and respectful nurse who understood and knew how to assess the needs of people with disabilities... until I became disabled and realised that it is only the experience of becoming disabled that make it possible to understand. 

I also have autism, but it was never something I got help for: just kind of accepted I was the weird one. One of the great things about my assistance dog is that people like and accept dogs- and because I'm with her people seem to accept me too. 

I enjoy writing, painting, crafts, games... and sadly I must confess I am addicted to minecraft. (I did warn you I was the weird one.

Hello @Tibik

Welcome to the community!

What is your wonderful assistant dog called? and what breed are they? Do you like to read as well as write? We have a thread going at the moment; What was the last book you read? & Would you recommend it? — Scope | Disability forum. Would love to hear your thoughts! 

I don't know much about Minecraft, but I've seen we have quite a few gamers here! We have general discussions, debates and play games in Coffee Lounge, but if you've already had a look around the forum, you'll see we have lots of different sections. If you ever have a question or query, don't hesitate to ask, they are a lovely lot here
