#DisabledLoveIsBeautiful
40 years old, quadriplegic by SMA, under respiratory assistance... and lived & received so much love, sumptuous intimacies, of queer multiplicity, that the article from the New York Times represents only toilet paper for my pretty crip little ass. 🤟

I love my half autistic, half non-autistic family. #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

I am not a burden.

My life has meaning and value.

I am not in a romantic relationship yet, but the people who love me now do not love me *in spite* of anything. They love me *because* of who I am.

I am deafblind. I matter.

#DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

#DisabledLoveIsBeautiful my best friend, Claire, loves me to death and always picks up my meds or helps me move whenever I am alone

They are the true disability ally and my best friend of 8+ years and more if you consider 3rd grade.

(June 2019)

I had just gotten engaged the first time I was diagnosed with #MultipleSclerosis . (Second and official diagnosis came 9 years later.)

I was scared, but my fiance sang 'Come What May' from Moulin Rouge.

We've been married 15 years. 💖

I'm on the spectrum and we'll have been married 8 years in September and together 13 years next January #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

In our marriage (between two multiply disabled people), we support each other, we care for each other, we help each other, and we understand each other in a way people who haven't lived our struggles can't. #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

I’m contributing to #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful by taking a page out of Helen Rottier’s book and talking about the love for myself that I discovered upon embracing my disabled identity. (1/3)

my partner has been the biggest help in my life & continues to be and i’m constantly grateful for them

our love is wonderful 💖 #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

I met my husband online. My wheelchair was clearly visible in photos, but before we met for lunch, I asked if he actually noticed them. 'We all have our things,' he said, 'Please write back.' And this is us 11 years later, with our daughter. #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

#DisabledLoveIsBeautiful point blank period

my heart in human form! so lucky to have found someone who understands & loves all of me. 🤍 #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

Here’s my wife and me ❤️ #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

She wasn’t projected to live long enough to even start school...but today (in less than an hour) she’s graduating! Thanking God for my precious daughter, class of 2020. You are the light of my life. 🎓 (graduation cap emoji) #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

Will you marry me?

She was the light of our lives and the center of our world. Life is a lot less beautiful without her. We were lucky that she graced us with her amazing soul for ten and a half years. #SweetSophia #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

I was so incredibly sick when we got married and we had no idea why.

It was a great night. It's been a great threeish years so far.

#DisabledLoveIsBeautiful

To be honest, my wife seeing me as I am—queer, trans, #ActuallyAutistic , disabled—helped me see myself and love who I am. We love each other fiercely. And I love myself too, even though it’s so hard to do that today. 💜 #DisabledLoveIsBeautiful
