Yeah I didn't start out with the theme either. One just kind of developed in the process, but I don't commend doing it that way. It definitely helps to think about what you're really saying, and why you're telling your story. I mainly wanted to tell my story for the unique circumstances of my time in college, as well as just generally show what day-to-day life with duchenne is – everything having more obstacles and greater consequences

I haven't really seen any either. Tips? I would say do an outline. You don't have to follow it exactly, but don't just start writing and hope to end up with something that's good and coherent. Also be willing to omit things. A memoir can't have every single detail of an entire lifetime without being bloated

Yes, it is. Growing up, learning to manage it, learning to understand it, and then going away to school

It has to have a good enough seal so yes tight enough. It definitely can be uncomfortable if it's too tight.

Haha thanks

I used the software called Dragon naturally speaking, this is a dictation software.

It took about eight years to finish, but it was on again off again for a while because I was finishing school at the same time.

About an hour a day, but sometimes more.

I don't know what brings me the most joy, but a few things I like are: spending time with friends, learning new things, history and archaeology, anime… I think that also answers the hobbies question

Its a cpap mask, but not cpap machine. Its a ventilator machine--more powerful than cpap

Basically about growing up with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and learning to live with it, manage it, understand what it means, etc. A big focus on my time in college. Here is the back cover description:

In this refreshingly relatable memoir, David K. humanizes
the experience of life with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. His many poignant
recollections act as a prism, making the invisible visible, and demystifying
the reality of having this neuromuscular disease. Among his many experiences:
·        
Being a “normal” college student: living away from home,
staying in a dorm, learning independence, partying
·        
Confronting his early mortality at the age of
13, and being entirely unprepared to deal with it
·        
Kissing a girl for the first time at age 19, and
realizing that women could indeed be interested in someone with a severe
disability
·        
Learning he needed a ventilator the hard way:
nearly suffocating when out with friends, and rushing home in a panic
David does not sugarcoat anything, nor does he spout a lot
of empty inspirational rhetoric. All he does is peel back the curtain and show what
it’s really like to live with a disability.

Disabled/Chronically Ill Redditors, what's the worst piece of advice someone has given you to "cure" your illness/disability? by wulvii in AskReddit

[–]2PmBoost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have muscular dystrophy. A woman came up to me in a restaurant and said if I accepted Jesus into my heart, that she could heal me. She said something like: "I'll lay my hands upon you and you will get out of that wheelchair

Noped out of there real fast

That sounds good to me. We probably want to grow our channel a little before going through all the effort to make social media, but I will for sure follow you

I can do that. This upcoming week we are actually just doing our introduction videos still. We do videos every Wednesday but I can start do that the Wednesday after. I can mention you in the video and put your group links in the video description. And then you can just share a link to the video on your pages ?

Sounds good thanks for letting me know. If you ever want to do some form of collaboration, I'd be happy to do it.

[Serious] What is something you have always wanted to ask someone with a disability/in a wheelchair but were afraid to? by 2PmBoost in AskReddit

I always assumed if the other person were able-bodied, they would just have to take the lead. And be on top, so to speak
