Anyone on my network familiar with social supports in Canada, specifically in Edmonton, where a disabled autistic guy might turn for help? He’s about to lose housing and internet access. He’s brilliant but physically hurt, and he’s about to be on the street in this winter.

I have been thinking more about this back one Harvard was doing its personal genome project which fizzled out but there are so many WHOLE GENOME test available these days I'm glad someone is finally using that data SP for EDS

And I think it's actually an excellent idea to ask people who've already had their GENOME sequenced share data with researchers to save time and money and accelerate research. Appreciated note explaining all that.

Just read over the interesting email from sequencing.com CEO who apparently has EDS/DYSAUTONOMIA about a collaboration with NORRIS lab for people to opt in to share their WHOLE GENOME data for EDS/DYSAUTONOMIA research.

Are there any Crisis support lines or Warm line out there that are stuffed by people who won't just spout platitudes at you for 15 minutes and then tell you to move along? Genuine question. Asking for me.

I'm drowning in social isolation as a bedbound person living alone and my mental health is seriously starting to FRAY from the number of Disability ORGS that have turned me down when I tried to propose organizing Friday night socials even though I volunteered to Shepherd this effort

It'll be part of hangout/COWORKING/body doubling space called CRIP create that offers a twice weekly drop in Zoom meeting open to anyone in the Disability community. There's usually several breakout rooms for talking ABT DIFF topics or body doubling etc. Ranging from serious to silly.

Disability justice ORGS will say"nothing about us without us"but provide little to no OPP for participation in decision-making BY community members or even volunteering. And most of their leadership seems to be composed of people who are far more functional than some of us.

I wish people would stop saying that ridiculous phrase: It never hurts to try/apply.
It absolutely hurts to try/apply for stuff and be rejected repeatedly especially for things that are basic human needs. Not to mention the spoons spent in applying for things when spending spoons can be painful

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
