It’s such a neat concept that can make certain expensive services like lawyers or therapists more accessible. I could trade a few hours gardening, sewing, cleaning, or baking, for someone else to give me a hand building a larger project. It’s a beautiful way to connect a community through acts of service 🥰
For me, my disability is MS and my most disabling symptom is fatigue and double vision that develops from fatigue (also heat and cold sensitivity…). I spend all my energy raising my daughter, and still don’t have enough energy always to do that the way that I would like to. Honestly I am not sure where you’re going with this question, but it feels like asking pwd to satisfy you that we have different capacities and it doesn’t feel great.
Trying to gain knowledge, and you’ve provided something new which I didn’t know about, so I thank you.
If I may be honest, this struck me as a very strange part of your response. How can people learn or understand if they can’t ask for help to learn?
There are actually lots of resources about this on the internet that you can look at rather than asking pwd directly to educate you, because it is exhausting and I get that lots of people have these questions, but also – again – there are many resources about it on the internet. It is both draining and isolating feeling as if you need to be constantly educating people around you and convincing them that you’re not just trying to weasel out of working or whatever.
Hmmm… I don’t think there are resources online for requesting a clarification on your original comment, other than asking you.
