My name is Jessica, I am 34 years old. I am An inspiring poet and writer. My two passions in life have always been the creative arts and people, I also consider myself to be an advocate for people with disabilities, both visible and invisible. Being wheelchair bound by Spastic Cerebral Palsy since the age of four. I grew up in the special education system, and once I turned 18 years old and began to move into the "real world" the shift in services that the state provides to you as a child v.s. the services you have to choose from going into adulthood is very wide; too wide in my opinion. Which brings me to why I wanted to start this blog.
While I respect all the information, and resources that is readily available for children with disabilities, the little to no services to help them transition into adulthood once they reach the legal age of 18 is extremely frustrating. It is my hope that with this blog, I can reach out to people in both the visible and invisible disabled community, and be an ally to them. It is also hope that as this blog grows; we grow to help one another. And to help the world to understand just how important it is to not only be recognized as part of society, but to be seen as equals.
I hope that when you come to my blog that you find it to be a safe, and welcoming place to share and be heard.
Take care!

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.
