    Kevin Schaefer replied to the topic Have you seen CODA? in the forum Disability in Media 1 month ago

    Kevin Schaefer replied to the topic Dating Tips? in the forum SMA​ ​and​ ​Dating/Relationships 1 month, 1 week ago

    Hey Crystal, great to hear from you!

    First off, I do think virtual dates and talking/texting are good ways to start. It gives you a chance to connect with someone first. Then you can discuss ways to meet in person. I have friends and caregivers who drive me a lot when we’re hanging out.

    Regarding an assistive device, I use my wheelchair tray for…[Read more]

    Kevin Schaefer replied to the topic Challenging Myself In Other Ways in the forum Adults ​With​ ​SMA 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    Congrats! I know something like this would be good for me. I spend way too much on books, movies, collectibles, and eating out each month.

    That’s awesome!

    Yeah, so I write a column for this site, which you can read here. I also write comic/graphic novel scripts. I like sf/fantasy, horror, and comedy.

    Kevin Schaefer replied to the topic “Special” on Netflix in the forum Disability in Media 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    I finally started watching this as well. It’s great! The writing is poignant, hilarious, and touching. I love how quirky the characters are, and how it tackles the nuances of living with a less visible disability. Highly recommend!

    Some of you may know this, but my longtime caregiver is leaving to start a new career. I wrote a column about this recently. Obviously, this is a big transition, but I feel like I’m in a good mental state. I’ve started contacting agencies and individuals, and I sent a job ad to a CNA program in my area. I’ll of course miss Randy, but we’re…[Read more]

    Check out my latest column here. I don’t know if you all have seen, but there are discussions and debates going on in the SMA community about what to refer to this month as. While August is traditionally referred to as SMA Awareness Month, some prefer to rebrand it as SMA Pride Month. I explain thi…[Read more]
