Sisters together forever

from Access All: Disability News and Mental Health · host BBC Sounds

We're talking about siblings, "crip hacks" and trigger warnings on this month's hour-long talk show. (to find a transcript of this podcast, scroll down to the Related Links section on this page) Meet Laura Smith. She's 33 and has a slightly younger sister who has autism, is non-verbal, and also has epilepsy. We take a look at the expectations, the extra worries and mental health difficulties that siblings often experience and what kind of support would be helpful while growing up. If you'd like to join a support group for adult siblings of people with learning disability or autism, or to get support with a sibling issue contact sibs.org.uk - find a link in the related links section on this page. What unexpected items do you carry around with you to assist with those little disability difficulties? Find out how wooden spoons help one woman with cerebral palsy and why tennis balls seem to have so many uses for different disabled people - bit weird really but worth a listen. Emma Tracey has been trawling for your stories. And finally, No Superhero blogger Heather Lacey joins us for her take on disability in social media over the last month. With presenters Simon Minty and Kate Monaghan. The producer is Damon Rose. If you want to get in touch with the programme, email [email protected] tweet @bbcouch or find us on Facebook.
