My house has become a prison of sorts. I haven’t left it in over four months and there is still no end in sight. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused my life to grind to halt and stripped me of my independence.

I cannot see my newborn nephew, hug my sister, or visit my best friends in California, Boston and Charlottesville. My summers used to be filled with movie theaters, restaurants and travel, but not anymore.

If I were to do all these things, my life would be at great risk. I don’t have the luxury to treat the pandemic as a hoax because it could cost me my life.

Supporting My Daughter With a Rare Disease Who Can't Go Back to School During the Pandemic
Today, my daughter Jordyn received a video of her class waving and saying “hi, Jordyn.” She’s the only one who is homebound out of her class. Tears welled up in my eyes for so many reasons. For one, it was so kind of her teacher to think of her and include her in their class even though she isn’t present. It also got me upset that she was missing out on all the fun. Am I doing the right thing keeping her home? What if she’d go and contract COVID or something else? The outcome would not be good given her other serious health issues.

How to Activate Your Child’s ADHD Brain for Distance Learning
distance learning, and encouraging independence and accountability.One of the most powerful ways to turn on a brain and prime it for learning and focus is mindfulness. Why? Mindfulness helps to build self-regulation skills – especially those used to get our emotions and behaviors in check, and reduce the effects of distractors – that are especially valuable during unsettling times.When our emotions are in check and we can prevent stressors from taking us off course, we are better able to tap into our frontal lobe, the region of the brain that powers EF skills.

For the past year I’ve been talking ad nauseam about turning 50.

Dear Piers Morgan: Insisting Disabled Actors Get Cast in Disabled Roles Isn't 'Woke Nonsense'
Monday morning, British anchor Piers Morgan, who is already known for making controversial statements on Twitter, wrote another problematic tweet. According to Morgan, “The ‘woke nonsense’ is demanding that only disabled actors can play disabled characters. That’s actually the opposite of equal opportunity.” Although his comments came from a spat with another Twitter user, the conversation started when he criticized the term “cripping up” — when an able-bodied actor plays a character who is disabled.

When I Feel Like No One Speaks My Language as Someone With Dysarthria
When I was in eighth grade, my last school musical was “Annie.” I was hoping to land the role of Grace Farrell, Daddy Warbucks’ secretary and one of Annie’s caretakers. Alas, the morning of the callback, the list was posted and as expected, I didn’t receive a callback for her. But, my friend Jenny* got a callback for her and I was excited for her. Between classes, I happened to see Jenny and came to congratulate her on the callback. Because of my dysarthria, a speech disorder that I have through my cerebral palsy, Jenny didn’t know what I was saying.

Lucifer!” As the archangel Michael talks to himself in the mirror, we see his true nature, both physically and morally. Michael, it seems, is a modern-day Richard III, a worn-out caricature of a villain whose scoliosis and other physical differences are supposed to telegraph a corrupted internal nature.
