Name: Rachel Newstead Interests, hobbies, obsessions, perseverations etc: Drawing, composing ragtime, classic animation (1915-1965--particularly Warner Bros.) Year of birth: 1961 Profession, area of study, etc: none, but I am a former cartoonist and cartooning instructor Where you live in the world: Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Marital status, # of kids etc.: single, no kids Personal webpage url: Working on my own, but at the moment I share a web page at http://members.aol.com/knudsenmj/myhomepage/Rachel.htm Comments: I have cerebral palsy in addition to possible AS (I am as yet undiagnosed). My greatest frustration is professionals who, when confronted with a visible disability and an invisible one, tend to blame all a person's problems on the visible disability. Such has been the case with me, and my motivation for posting here is to remind people that just because a condition can't be seen, doesn't mean it isn't there. |
