Question For Others With HEDS, Specifically Those Who Use A Wheelchair:

Question for others with hEDS, specifically those who use a wheelchair:

How does it not hurt your shoulders? I have hEDS, but don't use one, and just about anything hurts my shoulders. I was wondering how moving your chair around wouldn't hurt. Thanks!

Text reading "fave Disabled superheroes" with Matt Murdock's Daredevil, Roy Harper's Arsenal, Mia Dearden's Speedy, Barbara Gordon's Oracle, Charlotte Webber's Sun Spider, and Logan Lewis' Nightshade surrounding it on a red background

A red background with a photo of Daredevil. A header reads "Matt Murdock/Daredevil" and a bullet point list reads "• Blind
• Supersenses
• Highly trained martial artist and acrobat
• Debuted in 1964
• Has several solo series but frequently has cameos with other heroes
•Sometimes gets involved in big hero events, but usually focuses on street level crime
• Quality of rep varies by writer; has only been written by one blind writer in a Jessica Jones cameo"

A red backed with a photo of Arsenal. A header reads "Roy Harper/Speedy/Red Arrow/Arsenal" and a bullet point list reads "• Addict, limb difference (briefly)
• No powers but a higly trained
archer and ranged weapons expert
• Debuted in 1941
• Made an addict in 1971
• Loses his arm in 2010, but that was retconned away in the universe reboot of 2011
•Became a dad in 1986, became
marginally less involved in superheroics to raise his daughter,
though this varies depending on the writer
• Rarely has solo books, mostly appears alongside Green Arrow, the Teen Titans, the Justice League,
the Outsiders, and the Outlaws"

A red background with a photo of Speedy and a header reading "Mia Dearden/Speedy." A bullet point list reads "• HIV+, addict
• No powers, but an expert archer
• Debuted in 2001
• Received her diagnosis and revealed her addiction in 2004
• Was retconned out of existence in the 2011 universe reboot, but she is set to be brought back at some point in the current Green Arrow series
• No solo appearances, mostly appears alongside Green Arrow and the Teen Titans"

A red background with a photo of Oracle and a header reading "Barbara Gordon/Batgirl/Oracle." A bullet point list reads "• Paraplegic wheelchair user
• No powers, skilled fighter and computer genius
• Debuted in 1967
• Became paraplegic in 1988
• Started as Batgirl, working as a similar type vigilante as the rest of the bats, but when she became disabled, she began using her computer skills instead, providing information and leads to heroes across the DC universe as Oracle
• Works most frequently alongside the Batfamily and the Birds of Prey
• Was retconned into being able bodied and Batgirl again in the 2011 universe reboot. Fuck DC and this awful, ableist decision. She was great from 1988-2011 though"

A red background with a photo of Moon Girl and a header reading "Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl." A bullet point list reads "• Autistic
• Has the power to body swap with a dinosaur, but rarely uses it, relying on her intellect and inventions instead
• Debuted in 2015
• She is undiagnosed, so they don't name her autism on page, but the creator has confirmed it and her symptoms are very evident
• Inhuman
• Great for new comic readers since she's so recent and not bogged down in history

A red background with a photo of Sun Spider and a header reading "Charlotte Webber/Sun Spider." A bullet point list reads "• EDS, crutch and wheelchair user
• Debuted in 2020
• Very few appearances, only shows up in Spider-Verse stories
• Fan favorite character, will likely get more appearances in the future"

I THOUGHT THE MYSTERY SPOT EPISODE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY. THAT WAS HORRIFYING.

"But Fingon could not release the hell-wrought bond upon his carpal pad, nor sever it, nor draw it from the stone. Again therefore in his pain Maedhros begged that he would slay him; but Fingon cut off his paw above the carpal pad, and Thorondor bore them back to Mithrim."
