Hi there Alice. Love what you are doing. MS sufferer and advocate here for youth and recently diagnosed. In my studies and experiences, MS and other autoimmune diseases and brain ailments have much in common and all benefit from each other when it comes to research. As great as that news is, I was curious about your views on two things.

First, what do you think would be the most viable way to take what we know about disabilities and prepare it to educate a large demographic that would not understand the medical jargon and nitty gritty specifics (aka "explain to me like I'm five")? I've seen some great resources out there in sites and articles, but many still can go over heads or are not telling the full story. What medium do you think should be explored more as a possible connection point to teh average person?

Second, what is the best weapon against stigma you have seen so far and how you think the battle for awareness, acceptance, information, and change should move forward?

And last but not least, do you have a kitty? If so, what kind?

Thanks for your time!

Hi there! Former Michigander here with friends near you and family in Kalamazoo. Too late to ask I know (I'm in Australia, so my time is off), but... how are you guys holding up? Have you been able to find an outlet to vent and a chance to relax a little? Know it's hard to find the time seeing as the US is a dumpster fire at the moment, but I hope you guys get a chance to breathe before and after the chaos ends (or continues, depending on the results...). Take care!

Thank you! You too!
