Just to clarify, both of them are fully aware of what is written here and have given their consent for me to post this. I’m also not suggesting that they shouldn’t pay anything towards the arrears.

It is all about…

This might be not very well received but here we go, I was on another disability site today, just having a read of comments, and I found it not very supportive. There was in fact a lot of negativity over things people shared their fears over, whether it be the Timms report and what may-may not come, others explaining…

Is this a good sign or am I reading too much…

There are all kinds of therapies out there and I've been doing one since I was young - first in the context of undergoing constant criticism as a child, then criticism in the psychiatric system, then criticism in the medical system. All criticisms were deemed reasons to justify harming me in various ways. Fortunately I…

I like a lot of different things but don't have very deep knowledge on anything in particular. I love learning though, so I really admire people who go deep into their…

I want to highlight a serious gap in the powered wheelchair market that manufacturers seem determined to ignore. We have ultra‑manoeuvrable mid‑wheel chairs like the Sunrise Q300‑M Mini, which claim a range of 22–23 miles on paper. In reality, mine struggles to get 2 miles before the batteries collapse. And I’m not alone —…
