In this episode...

We delve into the intersection of creative expression and disabilities, exploring how chronic pain, autism, ADHD, and sensory sensitivities impact the ways individuals express themselves creatively. We share our personal experiences with various forms of art, including makeup, crafting, and photography, while discussing the challenges we face in pursuing our passions. We also touch on the complexities of scheduling, collaboration, and the emotional aspects of managing creative projects. We also explore the challenges and adaptations related to sensory issues, stuttering, and disabilities, discussing how these experiences shape our creative expression. There are positive impacts of our disabilities on creativity as well. We want to learn other ways people experience the interplay of disability and creativity.
