This! I was denied mobility aids well into my progression because of claims that I was “too young” to start “deconditioning.” PT and building muscle doesn’t replace my need for aids. They are worth fighting for. #DisabilityHasNoAgeRequirement #EDS #CerebralPalsy
2nd hand mobility aids is the best most can do when faced w doctors and insurance companies that don’t understand #EDS. As much as I’d like a wheelchair that truly fits, having any chair has saved my quality of life. New rollators with seats are about $80 self pay online at Drive
For me it is especially important to rely on mobility aids until I collect the right braces my #EDS joints need. Otherwise I push them out of socket for ADLs w lasting consequences. Because of aids and braces, I’m MORE able to do PT/exercise. It’s the opposite of deconditioning.

One of the clearest childhood memories I have is getting out of a car in a disabled space. As I got in my wheelchair, an old man started spitting, 'you're too young to be in that parking spot, too young to be in that wheelchair.' Well, guess what, #DisabilityHasNoAgeRequirement
If I had a penny for every time someone's said I'm too young to be disabled, I would be richer than my wildest dreams. As an adult and a child, people always tell me I'm too young, or that I must be faking. #DisabilityHasNoAgeRequirement
I've been informed that after the person said this, I rammed my wheelchair's leg rests straight into his shins lmao
