Rare and Invisible Disability + Spoon Theory
Manage episode 306116409 series 1148431
Traditionally the month of October is the time to become aware of people with disabilities -- either a visible or invisible disability -- but here we're drawing attention to all those who face physical and mental health challenges. With 1 in 10 Americans diagnosed with a rare disorder (whether it's a visible or invisible disability) and all of the others making up ~ 25% of Americans with chronic health conditions, let's practice an awareness on a daily basis.
Sunny Ammerman, NORD Ambassador for Indiana, talks about spoon theory, her role as a Patient Advocate for NORD and the Pituitary Network Association, and her blog, Insomnia Doodles.
Earlier podcast episodes have explored Disability Awareness -- The D Word and The Pirate as a Disability Action Figure. To learn more about Rare Disease, listen to this podcast episode, It's Not That Easy Being Rare.
Sunny is an avid gamer and Virtual Reality enthusiast; stay tuned for a future episode where she shares her love of VR.
