Welcome to this new year and new issue! Life has kept our team busy, so this is our first issue in a long time. It feels great to be back! The theme for this issue is connection. The start of a new chapter is also an examination of connections to our past and future. And our connections to community and resources define our opportunities and capacity to embrace changes. For our specific population, connection is a defining part of our disability; we struggle with misfiring connections in our bodies, which disconnects us from being in this world as we would want to.
I think often about connections. This disability forces me to confront my dependence on others. The connections with others, and how that connects to how I feel about my place in the world, and how I can connect my dreams to this reality, all this occupies my hyperconnected mind. I am not alone in this. So I am thrilled to share the thoughts of this issue’s contributors. They share their words to connect with us.
Please enjoy!
