Introduction

Posted in Current Updates and Recent Life

Hello and welcome to The Wheelchair Teen (even though Iā€™m technically not a teenager anymore šŸ˜Š). My name is Simi Roach, I am a writer, performer, Disability rights activist, and public speaker, and this is my website. On this page you can find an introduction to my blog and activism work, information about me and my Disability, and some suggestions for cool posts I think you should read.

Introduction to The Wheelchair Teen

Me in my wheelchair

I started The Wheelchair Teen when I was sixteen to share fun and educational posts about how experiencing teen issues like puberty and school can be like for someone who uses a wheelchair. Iā€™m now in my early twenties and write about what experiences like dating, further education, and living independently are like for a queer wheelchair-user of colour. My audience has learned and grown up along with me. I hope you enjoy continuing to join me on my journey! Make sure you comment or email me at thewheelchairteen@gmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions for things youā€™d like me to write about on this blog. Feel free to ask me anything!

Iā€™m also an activist who fights to end ableism and social discrimination against people with Disabilities. I strongly believe that it is the responsibility of everyone in society to confront their own ableism and educate themselves about Disabilities so that people like me arenā€™t constantly treated by others with ignorance and disrespect. I therefore do public speaking to raise awareness about ableism, to share my story, and to educate others about Disability diversity. I usually give talks at schools and churches but I also perform them anywhere else theyā€™re needed. To see further details about hiring me for a talk visit this page: Booking Me for Public Speaking.

About Me

Me rolling down a path in the Netherlands

I was born in London, England but I grew up in the Netherlands which is where I lived for most of my life. The Netherlands is still my favourite country; I love the land, the people, the language. I really miss it. I moved back to London in 2023 seeking more opportunities to do public speaking and acting which are both my passions. I love performing in whichever way I can. And I love that when I do so, Iā€™m being the Disabled representation which was severely lacking in the world while I was growing up. I also adore writing and crafting stories. Iā€™m currently working on writing a book about ableism which I hope will make a big impact one day.

Iā€™m a Christian and strong believer in the faith, a proud Black woman, a proud Disabled woman, and I’m queer. I love myself just the way that I am and wouldnā€™t change for the world. Many people look at me with pity in their eyes but I know that different does not mean bad, no matter what lies society preaches about Disability. Different just means different, and it can even be beautiful. My identities donā€™t make me who I am but they are a part of me. And I know the person that theyā€™re a part of is hard-working, passionate, determined, and creative, so I donā€™t feel ashamed of the pieces of me that make me who I am.     

Me drawing with a pen in my mouth

Iā€™m also an avid reader, an extreme superhero fan, and an enthusiastic film and TV show lover. Most of the time I can be found curled up with a good book, writing, or watching something if Iā€™m not working. I also enjoy creating digital art which I used to design the headers and the logo for this blog. I type, write, and draw with a pen in my mouth since I have little movement in my fingers.

I was born with Severe Progressive Axonal Polyneuropathy. My version of the condition is progressive which means that my body was the same as most nondisabled children when I was younger. But over time, my Disability progressed and I began losing abilities one by one. When I was eleven I lost the motor function in my hand and I lost the ability to walk when I was fourteen. However, when I was fifteen my Disability stopped progressing and hasnā€™t changed since. No one else in my family is Disabled and Iā€™ve never seen anyone else with my condition ā€“ itā€™s very rare. The effects of my Disability are:

  • Iā€™m a permanent wheelchair-user who canā€™t walk or stand because my legs are bent and unable to straighten.
  • I have no control over my knees, lower legs, ankles, feet, or toes, but some control over my upper legs which I can use to lift and manoeuvre the rest about.
  • I have no movement in my wrists so they tend to flop around on their own depending on what my arms are doing.
  • My fingers are permanently curled inwards and also have no movement in them so I type and draw with a pen in my mouth instead.

Reading Suggestions

Unsure where to start?

The Wheelchair Teen logo. The six different colours represent the six different categories on my blog.

My posts are split into six different categories which you can find at the top-left side of this page: Personal Experience posts tell stories about tough or triumphant events in my life, Thought Provoker posts are discussion posts that either raise awareness or tackle controversial topics, My Nugget of Wisdom for the Week posts are advice posts and I also share writing tips for authors who choose to write Disabled characters, Current Updates and Recent Life posts are life updates that tell you about what Iā€™ve been up to recently, Thinking Out Loud posts are about any topic that I feel like sharing or voicing my opinion on, In My Feeling posts centre around a specific emotion I feel regarding a certain aspect of my Disability or life.

I recently created a new category: Disability Film and Book Reviews. There, you can find my review of films and books about Disabled characters to support Disabled filmmakers/authors and to raise awareness about Disabled representation which is in fact problematic and inaccurate.

Here are some cool posts I think you should try! (Click on the post title to visit the post).

I try to write with honesty so that my tale can, hopefully, impact others positively – it’s all there, the good, the bad and the ugly, so that I can show my challenges and how I overcame them.

  11. I am too greatly impressed with your writing. We all, I am absolutely sure, are your friends and want you to write more. You are gifted, no, you are talented, and you should think of creating a book, maybe of short stories because you are perceptive and have already the objectivity and quirky sense of humor, that all great writers share.

  14. Thank you so much for being vulnerable enough to share your story and help others understand. You speak so eloquently and your spirited endurance definitely shines through. You should be proud. I wonā€™t claim to understand what life is like as somebody who isnā€™t able bodied but I do understand what living with illness is like. My partner has a lung condition that affects one person in a million. As he jokes, he well and truly won the genetic lottery! To this day Iā€™m still learning new things about his life and what impact his illness has on everyday things. He has a trache and is often hooked up to a respirator. Weā€™ve been together two years and I had the shock of my life when he showed me what using that trache was really like. I had thought it was a small thing but it was literally inserting a huge tube into a really big hole in his neck. Heā€™s lived with it all his life so found my reaction amusing but Iā€™d just had no idea.

    Anyhow, Iā€™m so happy I found your page and can follow along with your journey as of now! x

  17. Hi..you liked one of my comments on someone elseā€™s blog and thatā€™s what led me here. First of all, when I started reading, I was shook. I was truly speechless. I donā€™t know if I felt sad for you or truly happy to be inspired from you. I myself am a teen( just turned 13 in this July 2020) and I recently started my cooking blog. I am so stunned to see that after all that happened, you built a whole new life for yourself. Keep going and keep growing..how old are you by the way? And I had a tiny doubt though. If you can only use your left hand then how do you type?

  18. I read this post after reading your post about participating in the 10K for a charity. You are an amazing young person and definitely more of an inspiration than you can ever imagine.
    I have a chronic illness, but I have found ways to be more healthy and have not ended up in a wheelchair or even walking with canes. I do understand what it feels like not to be understood, though. When a person appears to be able bodied but is actually struggling, people just assume that that person should be able to do what everyone else can do.
    It inspires me to see you being so brave and working hard to overcome. Keep up the good work!
    I agree with the blogger above who encouraged you to write books. I think it would be great if you could publish a children’s book; perhaps if children were better educated in the challenges and triumphs of others, they might grow up to be more understanding adults.

    1. Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your words. Yes, you have what some people call an invisible disability. People often don’t take them as seriously merely because they can’t see them which is extremely unfair because they can be just as difficult to live with. When someone with no visible disability walks out of a disabled toilet, I try not to be too judgemental because I know that not all disabilities are noticeable from the surface. I’m happy that my story was able to inspire you. I am planning to write a novel with disabled representation, actually it was multiple people commenting on my blog who inspired me to do so! I’m going through the planning process now and hope to start writing next year since I’m quite busy with my studies now. I completely agree with you about the education of young children – that’s why I’ve given numerous presentations to children about disabilities. They went so well that the person who invited me to do them has asked for me to do more, to even more classes, so I’m very excited about that. I wrote a post about it on my blog if you’re interested: https://thewheelchairteen.home.blog/2020/09/06/my-first-educational-talk-to-children-about-disabilities/ Thank you so much for your support and your incredible comment ā¤

      I have a friend who is blind, and he wants to write a children’s book to help kids understand his life. It’s about a white cane moving through town – by itself! Because according to him, when people encounter him that’s all they see. I think at the end the person finally appears, and everyone is surprised that there has been a person there all along.

      1. The trilogy is called “AWAKENING.” The three books are entitled “Counselor,” “Vision,” and “Sparrows.” The main character is a young American woman, 22, who meets a remarkable man who has cerebral palsy and is legally blind. As she gets to know him (and love him) questions start to arise as to who exactly this person is …? My publisher compared it to the “Twilight” series, except it isn’t about vampires! It’s more of a “Predawn” – the light grows brighter instead of fading. šŸ˜‰ The story tells of the young lady’s coming to Christ, discovering who she is in the Body of Christ, and learning spiritual warfare in the midst of 9-11. It’s partly autobiographic. šŸ˜‰

I hope that we can be friends too šŸ™‚ I can’t remember living in London but we visit it every holiday for months each year so it feels as if I know what it would be like to live there. Netherlands is quite different but all in a good way – the streets are cleaner, there’s almost no litter, it’s beautifully green, the land is completely flat with no hills… Also, English culture is very intergrated into Dutch culture. They pretty much only play English songs on the radio and English films in the cinema and almost every can speak English here too. The biggest culture shock would probably come from the food which is VERY different, the language is quite rough and harsh on the tongue, and the celebrations are quite different too. Actually recently we celebrated Sinterklaas which the Dutch celebrate instead of Christmas. I woke up to find my shoe outside of my door with a giant chocolate letter S in it (one of the Sinterklaas tranditions).

  27. Hi Simone,
    I feel privileged to have met you here via Saanias blog and I hope this current time in history is not proving especially difficult for you.
    I started my blog in November 2017 before one of my trips from my home in north west England to Gambia, West Africa and it is a work in progress.
    I think your blog, as well as being written from the heart, is the most straight forward and inviting for readers to find their way around and I certainly need to follow your example. That aspect itself causes me to reflect on how ā€˜all over the placeā€™ my blog as in, at times my apparent ā€˜all over the placeā€™ life May frustrate readers of my blog and some people in my life who I feel donā€™t really get how I tick.
    I really love your logo.
    Every year I buy the calendar and other gifts from The Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. Each month a painting by a particular artist accompanied by a quote features and which I stick in my journal along with ā€˜Africaā€™ by St Patrickā€™s Missions based in Co Kildare, Ireland whose missionaries work in Africa, Latin America and The Carribean.
    I feel I could write a book here says she!
    I have many disabled and wheelchair bound friends in The Gambia especially.
    I feel we were meant to meet Simone.
    Take care

    1. Hello Margaret,
      I feel happy to have met you too ā¤ My blog also used to be all over the place. I only recently did a little cleaning up, you’re actually the first person to read my new Introductions page! I’m so happy that you think that it’s inviting for visitors to find their way around, that was one of my goals when I started to update everything. Also, I hadn’t fully accepted my disability when I started my blog so a lot of my early posts were quite negative and bleak about my outlook on life. Now that I’ve grown to accept who I am, my posts have reflected that by becoming much more positive and encouraging. I’m glad that you enjoy my logo too, I really love rainbow colours.
      It’s great that you see so much art created by mouth and foot painting artists. A friend recently bought me a picture book about a disabled boy that was illustrated by a mouth artist. They definitely deserve more support and appeciation for their incredible work. I hope to one day be a professional mouth artist like them. Wow, you probably have more disabled friends than me! Other than on WordPress, I have no real-life wheelchair-user friends. Although I hope to meet more of them one day.
      Kind regards,
      Simone

    1. Hello! Thank you so very much for these kind words. I’m happy to have you along on my journey. This blog has helped me to overcome a lot. In the beginning, I was still very sad and conflicted when it came to my disability. Now, I’ve fully accepted who I am and am proud to be disabled. And thank you so much for the prayers and the hugs, I’m so happy that you find me to be inspiring. I hope that you have an incredible day šŸ’•
