Disability advocacy work

I am not just a writer, editor, and speaker. I am also often described as someone who does disability advocacy. So to help you understand why, this page lists my current projects. Above all else, knowing about my current projects will help me understand the groups that heavily influence my work. Many of these relationships inform sources used for articles and discussions that inform my work. Yet, they also help me make a difference in my own disability community, too. If you are working towards mutual goals, here is what you can do about it:

Step number one is to contact me. My areas of interest include thyroid disease and neurodiversity.

However, availability is not a guarantee. Although I like to meet like-minded people and groups. Above all, we might have a reason to collaborate! Many of the groups I am involved with are always open to new ideas. So you might be a good person to talk to, and the only way to know for sure if you’re a good fit is to reach out. Below are all my current advocacy relationships, although this page may add or subtract even more in the future.
