Introduce Yourself!
So we've already had an introduction from gipsy_dreamer but I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated introduction post that we can refer back to (maybe I'll put the link in the user info) so we know people's backgrounds.
Maybe we should have a little questionnaire to fill in. You can fill in as much or as little as you like. Don't feel obliged to do the questionnaire or to answer every question if you're not comfortable!
Name:
Age:
Location:
Who do you live with?
What is/are your disabilities?
A little about you:
Anything else of note:
I'll start!
Name: Anji.
Age: 24.
Location: Southsea, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Who do you live with? My five-year-old son Orion, partner Fredrik and two lovely fancy rats.
What is/are your disabilities? ME/CFS, Bipolar II, Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (Borderline Personality Disorder to non-Brits)
A little about you: I'm a radical feminist, Pagan, teetotal, a strict vegetarian, tattooed, pierced and stretched. I like reading, tea, orchids, rats, writing lists and jogging.
Anything else of note: Orion is also disabled, he has hemiplegia due to brain damage when he was three months old.
Now it's your turn! :D

Age: 43
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
Who do you live with? My husband, Scott, and my daughter, Cordelia
What is/are your disabilities? Generalized anxiety, agoraphobia, fibromyalgia. I also can't drive due to an unnamed/undiagnosed problem with seeing/tracking things that are moving faster than a certain speed.
A little about you: My hobbies are reading and writing. I tend to be a lurker on communities. I'm fannish in a kind of general way, interested in reading fic and meta (still as a lurker) as long as it's fun. I'm not into any particular fandoms at the moment. I'm a feminist.
Anything else of note: I worry a lot about the things my daughter is missing out on due to my disability. I also worry that she'll inherit some (or all!) of my problems.
