Blogging About Your Disability?

I'm a new blogger. I have cerebral palsy & I'm in a wheelchair. I was wondering if anyone blogs about their disability. Two weeks from now, I'm planning on maybe doing a disability awareness week at my blog. I thought it would be nifty if I could link up to other bloggers in wheelchairs so we could have different sides of the same story.

Anyone interested in participating?

Hi there

I blog about my chronic illness - you can read it here.
It's drawn comments from lots of people with disabilities, illnesses and even those without.
I am happy to create awareness about my illness, and hopefully change peoples' perceptions of me and others.

Blogging about my own illness has also led to being published elsewhere - on a government website. I submitted some of my blog entries, the editor read my blog and chose one to be modified for the site. And now it's published, I've been asked to do another one.

I think it's great to educate people about disability and chronic illnesses through blogs.

I am doing my Masters thesis on the way blogging creates a sense of identity and community for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.

Great post

Carly
