This is something that I have been aware of for a while but disabilities that are caused by health conditions are something that we need to talk about, and we don’t know what people are aware of as well.   As being disabled is expensive due to needing to go to specialists and generally not working so having to cut back on things the first and easiest thing to cut back on is entertainment and this for a young person puts them at risk of social isolation further and really does impact their disability further as it serves to isolate them further as well. We see that this can be a massive issue and can have a massive impact on mental health issues as well, and we see that people are not able to socialize due to not having the funds to do things, there is a term for it in people without disabilities it is called city life syndrome and we see that this is at times amplified in people with disabilities as well, so the impact of the physical disability I know that there are other crea...

  I was writing an article on Medical bias and we see that it can be very hard to spot due to the way medicine is taught, however, we do see that there is a growing awareness of disabilities as we have seen in Australia and the developed word we see that people with disabilities are often seen as the afterthought, or even it is seen that as an adult we can be spoken to and for this also now comes into medical bias. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/doctors-pants-fell-down-regularly-coworker-complained-of-being-left-shaking/news-story/96ceb43547057c37a6a2ad1b01a5fc52   But as we see in this article it does become more complex than this as there is a culture of cover-ups in hospital systems due to the lack of investment in hospitals and a lack of support staff as well. However, we do know that doctors and medical treatments have been targeted toward a very specific group. This being white males women and people with disabilities have been left behind and I kno...

  History of institutions for the disabled, in Australia.   A general overview. So I have done a broad outline of what is the history of institutions for the disabled in Australia we don’t have a lot of broad information about disability and how it was thought about because Australia generally does follow the trends of London up until the 1900s and we started following the USA in a lot of things. However we see that one thing that has always been the same is how we cared for our disabled people, so we see that they generally were depending on the means that people had they lived with their families.   Or if they couldn’t they were taken to children’s homes and some still exist in some form however we see family-based care is much more prevalent, now as well.   As well as what is called supported independent living. If they didn’t they lived in an institution, so in Toowoomba, we had hameworth children at home and we had Bailey Henderson insane facility. [i] [...

This is such an interesting topic and I see this a lot in the Disability community that they are never happy and at times there are very good reasons for it like accessibility issues in the community they live in or for people to accept that they have a hidden disability and do need help to function.  I would also like to take the time to say that I see that he is controversial in the disability community because of his view on disability but we see that a is correct about what he is saying recently about disability is common sense at times and it is very often is taken out of context by bad faith actors and he has recently opened up about it as well, being "Cancelled," however we do see that people at times do want to accept what he is saying but are so far brainwashed that they can't see reason.   I have a post on it but he basically says to not let your disability become your excuse to find ways around it and sometimes it's a reason for the behaviours but if you a...

So these are a couple of thoughts on this and what I have found to be much more helpful instead. I find that being realistic about your situation and understanding what is helpful is much better. It helps to see the situation for what it is and accept it.  What I am saying by accepting the situation is being able to say that yes it will get rough and it will get better, or finding the little joy moments but also seeking to be real and honest. The people who care about you are for you.  I am a big fan of accepting professional guidance and support and there is plenty around at the moment. So when I say accepting help and support I am saying that letting people in and positively working with them so, if you have support workers/caregivers letting them know what your needs are understanding that everyone's needs are going to look different.  Accepting that some things are going to be different and if it's a disability or an illness that came out of the blue accepting that it...

This is such a difficult and challenging topic and even within the "disability," community. I see that this is just what should be called a community. So it seems like we are able to classify people into successes and failures. But in disability this needs to have a different metric as depending on the persons disablity they may have a very different life path to other people.  So I have put more thoughts into the video as this is a very challenging topic as Dr Jorden Peterson is talking about this topic but we need to remember that he is talking to a very wide audience, and not every peice of advice is going to be suitable for everyone. This is something that we all need to be aware of that not every piece of advice is going to be great for everyone and I know this as I tried following the rules for life and I got very mentally unwell and this meant that we needed to be aware of how this affected me and I had to re evaluate what success meant to me, as a person with "hi...

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bjKkovbGHJk This is such a  hot-button topic in the disability community and we see that it's an amazing thing we see that it needs to be discussed a lot more as doctors when they are going through medical school, are told not to self-diagnose, and to go to another doctor to get medication if they need it.  I find that as she mentions in the video that it's a great tool but not a substitute for proper medical care, and attention to detail. So what attention to detail do I mean, so by having a self-diagnosis we can start to treat the issue, but it can end up doing more harm than good so looking at what can be safely done is a good thing.  Also understanding your limits as well is amazing, we see that this can be an issue as well for many people, and your limits with finance as well can be an issue, however, we do see that people are living a great life at times. However, it is a great tool for learning about the possibility that you have some...

  I guys so as I say in the video I can't sustain the blog on my own as I am in my own unit and not with the parent so I am starting a Patreon, page and looking at making this my job and not a hobby.  As currently it has been a hobby but I would love to have it as a job.  As many people with disabilities are disadvantaged in the "traditional," job market so I would love to have this as not only a blog but a podcast and a youtube channel as well however I can't do that without your support and that means sharing, the blog, commenting and if you can support my patron.   I am currently looking at taking on a part-time job in the market to sustain the blog and myself as I want to get off the disability pension and onto a paycheck as I feel that I have a lot I could give to a traditional employer.   I am also open to new content to talk about so please let me know what you think about the video formats as well.   So guys the Pateron link is  ...

This is going to be an interesting post to write and I am going to expect a fair bit of debate around it as we see that Mangus agreed to the Memory wipes and Joslyn paid him for it. So this starts to pose a very interesting question about what happens when you overprotect someone because of your actions. (1) Shadowhunters Reduced BGMusic 01x01 - Magnus erase Clary's memories - YouTube As we see that Joslyn had a way to protect herself but not a way to protect Clary and this is very similar to when you are working with a person with a disability as we need to be challenged and protected at the same time. I see that this is a good thing to be protected and challenged. But Clary is at a serious loss when we see that she discovered she is a shadow hunter and doesn’t know who to trust or to go to for help as we see that Luke the person who she sees as her father figure isn’t who he says he is and that we see that she is tolerated but not accepted as she wasn’t brought up as part...

Simon is Clarry's friend, has been there for him for years, and she drags him into the shadow world, where he is turned into a vampire. Raphaelle the New York clan leader return's him to the institute and she makes the decision to turn him into a vampire, he doesn't like the fact that he is a vampire and clary has dragged him into this world. He would rather be doing the normal things for his age like attending college and playing his music. There is a variation from the books to the show that in the books Simon has a full band, in the show, it is Maurine only.  He sees that Clary is in danger from the Shadowhunter yet Clary can't explain it but she knows that these are her people and that they can help her make sense of the world that she now is in, as she can see Jace and the others can't as Simon when he is turned into a vampire he doesn't really have anyone to turn to and Alec seems to always be digging him or Clary out of trouble.  Yet he starts to see his ...

Actors that I have a great deal of respect for them, I discovered Harry Shum jr later in my life as I  mentioned before that I have chronic illness and disabilities and due to this spend far too much time on the couch watching either Youtube or Netflix.  I discovered him in what I would say is a cult hit 'Shadowhunter', playing a character that I really resonate with; a bisexual warlock and the tragedy of his life is he is immortal. So this play's into the idea of well what happens when you don't have to plan for the end of your life but you see the lives of people around you age and die.  What do you do with your time yes he has magic powers to heal and his position as the high warlock is from what I see in the show and books more a political one, being open to warlocks that have issues, and he seems to help a lot of what they call the downworlders, so generally vampires, werewolf's are the ones that seem to be the main ones in what the show and books call the Shad...

  Shadowhunters & Beyond Screening 2016 Q&A Panel - YouTube   This is a really interesting discussion around this show it is a great show and something that I see that is very rare is the cast are passionate about the representation of the character and something that resonated with me was that they listened to people who are telling their own story and that your story isn't the story of the larger group.  The actors seem to really understand this, and the level of research that they do is amazing, to not fall into the stereotypes of the tropes of what people think of not what people are, and not the reality, is this has been brought out, in the time of Covid, and shown the reality of what people can do to tell their own stories.  He was talking about the LGBT community yet I see many parallels between this and disability representation. That our stories aren't the typical narrative of life due to illness or disability and this seems to be a similar thing in ...

  Acronyms and jargon.  Depending on where you are in the world some of these will be familiar to you others may seem new and this is because of the ongoing changes around the program.  I am aware that I am only scratching the surface. As these are words that I have had to understand myself please feel free to correct me if I have something wrong.  NDIS   National disability insurance scheme is a program that replaced the programs that were run by the state and in a medical model of care, this gives clients and their families the ability to choose what they do and how support is delivered.  State care programs   – these were programs that were state-run before the development of the NDIS Duty of care  is the responsibility to ensure a client in the program is protected or aware of the risks of their decisions. High functioning  is the level of function the client has when they have a brain-related injury, disability, or men...
