It is so true that people think we are slow intellectually and that they have preconceived notions about everyone who is disabled. Funny enough, the more I show my intelligence the more people have to take a step back and reevaluate what they think of me. In the minds of many people having a movement disorder and being bright some how does not go hand and hand. I love my botox shots and can't write with out them. It feels like a miracle when I receive it in my arm. It felt like someone gave me back my life and I have not stopped writing since them. Words are my best friend. I will gladly take my 21 shots without one tear. I have botox in my neck but also have dystonia through out my body. I have had it for 42 years. I too am a writer who has written about dystonia and given local speeches. I am also an artists and perhaps I will write a book involving art, poetry, and articles or a story. I am trying to find a job as a writer in the arts. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I live in New Jersey and I refuse to let dystonia ruin my life. I love your speech.
