Even after all these years, both personally using accommodations at work and working in the field, I still have anxiety and apprehension when I have to explain what I need to new people. But internalized ableism is there because of previous discriminatory experiences and societal beliefs. Sharing my thoughts and recent experience.

This is so real. I also can only work in a laying down position. I’ve bought a few different stands, lap desks, and pillows to prop myself up just enough to be on camera with a background. I can’t hold my neck up comfortably for more than a few minutes so I bought a green squishmallow for neck support that also disappears more easily into the virtual background. Presyncope is tough to navigate, then to add the nausea, racing heart, heat flashes, and breathlessness to standing or the dislocating tailbone, painful puffy legs/feet, and the inability to stand up without a guaranteed drop immediately after sitting for too long is just too much. I hope you can find a way to make it all work!!
