Discussing Disability on The Mighty

For most of my adult life, I've been vocal on the subject of disability and how the disabled are perceived. This willingness to express my views led American website, The Mighty to request that I become a contributor to their network.

While I haven't written for them in some time because of reservations about certain editorial decisions they make, my pieces are still on the site and since I still hold the views expressed within, I thought it would be worthwhile to link them here:

• How Tattoos Change the Way People React to My Wheelchair
• I'm a Quadriplegic, Not an Inspiration
• A Message to the Most Devoted Person in My Life
• The Day a Bodybuilder Came to My Aid
• How Being the Victim of a Crime Changed My Life for the Better
• A Message to the Good-Intentioned People Who Pray for Me to be ‘Healed’
