Columnist Writes About How SMA Defines Her
Hey all. In my latest column, I wrote about a topic that is often discussed in the disability community and has varying opinions: does your disability define you?
I won’t rewrite the entire column here, but the TLDR version of what I wrote basically explains how I look at SMA as something that defines me, and that’s okay. SMA has a heavy influence on my day-to-day life and has also shaped me into the person I am today. I’ve worked hard for the person I’ve become, and it would be remiss of me to ignore the fact that SMA has played a role. It has defined me, but it isn’t the only influence that has defined me.
What are your thoughts on this topic?
