The Deal With Disability

*I'm
backdating a few posts to this past weekend to keep up the illusion that I never leave the
front of my computer for such things as camping and otherwise spending
quality time with my family.*


The Deal With Disability's “About Me” page sums up the purpose of this eye-opening site very nicely…

“Hey, I’m Eva. I’m 26 and a recent college graduate. I like to write,
to take Digital photographs, and just chill. But this blog is not about
what I like. This blog is about how people treat me. You see, I am
physically disabled. Actually “severely” physically disabled. I have
Cerebral Palsy, which for me means I can’t walk, speak, or use muscles
in traditional ways.  I use a power wheelchair to get around  and spell
out what I want to say on a letterboard.
This blog will be videos of people treating me bizarrely. My video
camera is mounted to my wheelchair (very discreetly) and I basically
just press record whenever I go out and then  edit the good stuff for
you! I will then write my comments on the event, which is usually what
was playing in my inner monologue while these insensitive people were
talking.  Hope you enjoy. “
