We have a winner! Now what????

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the official debut of the Abler. With all the media coverage this election is bringing, One of the mains topics I see being highlighted is that of the rights of the disabled community. And while I am happy to see a discussion being formed amongst the public, even with the recently coined #cripthevote 2016 gaining recognition in social media. The real question I have is what happens after? What happens when the election is over, and we have our new president? Will we slowly be put on the shelf again? Because that's be honest, the issues we face in the disabled world on a daily basis, v.s. the many global issues we're facing right now, are pretty big, intense, and scary. While time will only tell what our new president will do as far as reaching out to us when it comes time for he or she to put action behind their words. With that being said, an idea came to me recently. What if our next President Of The United states, put together a board of advisors that all have personal experience, skills, and insight into the disability world. I don't mean men and woman in suits, but actual everyday people that face and overcome their disabilities on a daily basis. As well as those that specialize in education/higher learning, adaptive technology, independent living skills/resources, improved pubic transportation, and who are also familiar the laws and rights of the disabled community? Because in all honesty, I have seen very few examples of people with disabilities championing for us on these issues. Especially, in the workforce. I think if this can be accomplished everything that is available to the disabled community right now, could completely be overhauled and looked at from a different prospective that could not only better us as a whole but leave a lasting imprint of change. Instead of getting by and struggling. While i appreciate the laws that are out there now for the disabled, I do not agree with how we're perceived overall. Not every disability is the same. That's why I believe if we're to see any change at all, we have to make the change happen. If it takes a a village to raise a child, what will take to make sure that; that child stands up for themselves, and stays up? I'll tell you what will-US! Because we're all on the same journey together. We may not take the same road, but the destination is the same. That destination is a simple one. A life filled with happiness, joy, security, and most importantly purpose. If you'd like to know how to make your voice heard, start with contacting your state's representatives. And, if you're curious to find out more about the ADA laws, or how to become an ADA advocate for your state contact: Access Advocates http://www.accessadvocates.com. Like Gandhi once said, "be the change you want to see in the world."

Part 1: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Don’t be surprised if you hear, “I have that too."

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is a very common, and miss diagnosed condition, among women between the ages of 20-40.  And can cause infertility with polycystic ovaries. The statics vary as to how many women have PCOS because the criteria for the condition is always changing. But here is what I found under The National Institutes Of Health. One in every 10-15 women gets diagnosed with PCOS. I also heard that about 50% of women do not know they have PCOS. Via, pcosdiva.com I also found on the site, rightdiagnoisis.com that about 50% of women are insulin resistant. The typical age bracket for being insulin resistant is about 20-40 years of age.  And about only 30% have symptoms of PCOS. PCOS is a syndrome that not only affects fertility but can affect metabolism, insulin levels, high blood pressure and much more. t is a syndrome that not only affects fertility but can affect metabolism, insulin levels, high blood pressure and much more.
