"I started creating what I called mini-memoirs on social media that brought readers into my firsthand experience of disability..."
The author reflects on their experiences of explaining their disability to young children, especially with their son Otto starting preschool. Childhood curiosity about disabilities can ignite a deeper dialogue on identity and acceptance. While the author has always fielded questions about their wheelchair, they now feel a responsibility to present this subject thoughtfully for Otto's sake. Contemplating different ways to approach these interactions, the author considers proactive education through discussions or storytelling, aiming to frame disability as part of their identity rather than a limiting factor.
