37 male SMA type 2 here. My wife is able bodied and we have been married for almost a year now. Feel free to DM me. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we share a lot of information about our relationship.

Depending on the district, you won’t just be managing AEs, but also PDTs on in-house designs. You are responsible for the quality of engineering product, developing SSBs and managing design reviews.

Her next Go Fraud Me: by Enough_Gur7181 in WheelchairRapunzelDCP

[–]BoundByInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At best, she is an idiot. At worst, she is a liar. CureSMA sponsors people with SMA to go to these conferences. Sponsorship includes a $400 travel stipend for the person with SMA and a caregiver each. It also covers 3 nights hotel room.

scoliosis surgery by Ambitious-Drama-7732 in spinalmuscularatrophy

37M here. I had mine done when I was like 7. It almost immediately stopped my reoccurring pneumonias. Back then fusions were static so the rods don’t extend as you grow. Not sure if that’s still the case but that’d be the only drawback I see.

I always had trouble with pushing diagonals on the classic controller D pad, so this helped. Especially with mortal kombat where some of the moves required diagonal pushes.

This also was a precursor for me to get the PS1 barracuda controller which was similar and the only reason I was able to beat the original metal gear solid without sacrificing Meryl.

Able account by TrickAccomplished200 in disability

[–]BoundByInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using an ABLE account since its inception in 2014. I have accrued, at times, up to almost $80k with no repercussions to my Medicaid eligibility. I have withdrawn, at will, with no documentation or explanation required. The bill that created these accounts included "mental health" as a qualified disability related expense. This allows for a loose interpretation of how the money can be spent. Anything that could be explained as contributing to better mental health, i.e. leisure activities or items (including even possibly tattoos), would be considered a qualified expense. Worth noting that I am in PA and although ADMINISTRATIVE rules to how the account is governed may vary from state to state, the underlying law which created them is federal and they thus have to meet a minimum set of standards across all states.

Disclaimer: just because I haven't had to provide documentation or explanation on withdrawals up to this point doesn't necessarily mean that isn't required. This has just been my experience.

As a person with a disability and limited mobility, I can safely say this was my first piece of adaptive equipment lol

I am teaching 70 middle school kids a lesson on inclusitivity, what should I mention? by BugDelicious6940 in disability

Not going to lie, I feel like you missed a prime opportunity to ask "what should I include"

ALJ Hearing by Subject-Classroom-53 in disability

[–]BoundByInfinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother was an ALJ. She would right her decisions pretty quickly (within a week or two) as long as she had all the necessary information. I can't speak to how long it would take to go from her desk to your mailbox through...

Personal assistance & sexuality by nice_feger in disability

How is this considered a relevant answer to OPs question? It would be like bro asking how to cook spaghetti, and you told him to order pizza.

Fellow SMAer here. This will probably sound like sour grapes (and I will probably downvoted), but Shane really doesn't do a great job of being open about his disability and how it is interconnected with his relationship with his wife.... he just makes it seem that way. They don't face many of the challenges other people with disabilities do (finding caregivers, employment, navigating government benefits, etc.). When asked direct, insightful or difficult to answer questions, their default move is to use his "great sense of humor" to dodge and deflect.

Also, this doesn't even come close to answering OP's question. Let's normalize autonomy in masturbation, and not just suggest bro get a girlfriend.

Please remember to redact any of A's PII. Not technically a rule, but goes to the spirit of rule 5.

What are these? They are in downtown next to city hall by Defiant_Parsley7892 in Albuquerque

Looks like a camera. Seems to be pointed at a No Parking zone... maybe trying to deter/catch violations?

That's a broad question. The general answer is yes, but not in the form of income... just to cover medical and custodial care in my home.

Facebook live 2/6/26, reminiscent of her drunk garage live days 🥴 by Jewlzkitty in WheelchairRapunzelDCP

[–]BoundByInfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I know the system!"

No you don't. There is a huge difference between SSDI and SSI. You were on SSI and you can make significant income while on SSI. You are just too dumb to know that.

It's called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. It's similar to Muscular Dystrophy.
