About


Hello everyone!

My name is Lisa and I enjoy watching films/TV shows, reading, gaming, listening to music, and going to the theatre, with a little bit of travel thrown in!

Also, I have a disability called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) (read my blog post about it here) and I live in the UK.

I created this blog to show people in a similar situation that you can still go out and live life however you want to, and also to show able bodied people that life still happens even with a disability.

Expect to read blog posts about anything and everything!

I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing it.

Some people only have their upper limbs affected, others only their lower limbs, and then people like me where it affects all four of their limbs. Most people who have AMC are abl...

SpecialEffect - Gaming with a Disability

When we were young, me and my siblings would play Sonic the Hedgehog and Alex Kidd on the Sega Master System II, and then Super Mario Kart (my favourite!) on the Super Nintendo. This was back when controllers were much simpler to use and had less buttons to press, and I had a bit more movement in my arms than I do now.

Aerobility - British Disabled Flying Association

A while ago I was looking at a website called  Accessible Britain  for some inspiration for new activities I could try that were accessible for both me and my electric wheelchair. I came across an article written by someone who had flown a light aircraft with  Aerobility  from Lasham Airport (Aerobility have since moved to  Blackbushe Airport  from Lasham and also work from Tatenhill in the Midlands and Prestwick in Scotland). I read the article and looked at Aerobility's website and decided that this was something that I wanted to try.
