Disability Pride Month: Here are 100 Disability Blog Posts

July 3, 2024 by

In acknowledgment of Disability Pride Month, a look back at previous posts.

Most of my blogging about mental health began after 2010 when I was declared totally and completely disabled by the Federal Government. I immediately hit many walls of discrimination, bias, and ignorance on the part of other people. My response was to up end the apple cart of stigma and silence.
