I have Eds as well and I am a frequent traveler and it’s shocking how inaccessible the world is! I can get out of my chair and I want to make a channel that shows places that might be a risk for those that are bound to their chairs. I love what you did. So brave and honest. It’s very hard to speak up sometimes.
The landlord and manager at a low income property has just made it more difficult for people with disabilities taking away parking not even enough parking places for the tenants but they just removed five parking places for a dumpster
Which are incredibly expensive and doesn't solve the problem of the needs of people with disabilities not being met globally. The needs of disable people need to be included in everything that we design as part of the project and not an add on at the end. When we build buildings for example, we as able bodied people need to include those with disabilities on the project and follow their lead in determining what disable people will need. I have seen buildings that have received awards and are categorized as accessible and they are not; they are treacherous for some disabled people. If the architects would have included someone with a disability, the shortcomings would have been pointed out.
Most people with EDS use a manual chair for various reasons including price, getting exercise, ease of transport of the chair, often insurance only covers power chairs for paralysis, and more
It is a human right for someone with a disability to access all of the same things that an able-bodied person does. Instead of designing the world for able-bodied people, the focus needs to change to where we include eliminating barriers as a best practice. Stop being so small minded and short sighted.
Didn’t know just wanting to go to a movie theater and be able to enjoy the movie is being “Woke”. Accessibility isn’t “virtue signaling”. What if someone said you couldn’t enter a building because you have working legs? Now, imagine that’s happening to millions of wheelchair users on a daily basis. It’s not an unreasonable request

This is awesome! Well done.
Yes!!!!!!!
Why do you NOT have a powerchair instead of wheelchair where you have difficulty pushing with your weak joints?
Most people with EDS use a manual chair for various reasons including price, getting exercise, ease of transport of the chair, often insurance only covers power chairs for paralysis, and more
Because those are SO much more expensive, and it can take years to get insurance to cover it.
@@frozenraspberries1552 I can find them used for like $300 - $400 on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace all day everyday
And who will pay for all these changes?
Just let them virtue signal lol

you don't know what virtue signaling is
It's been four years, so hopefully you have changed your mind about disabled people by now.
