my ex's mother was very unsupportive of our relationship. she refused to meet me. she just didn't want her daughter to be with a man in a wheelchair. she wasn't a dev though.

Assuming equal access to healthcare (lol), the last symptomatic child with SMA has likely already been born, in theory. Children who start treatment while still pre symptomatic are staying pre symptomatic, gene therapy is looking like it's just going to be a permanent or semi permanent fix (vs treatment every 4 months). SMA is still going to be around genetically (in many more numbers as Type Is survive into adulthood and have children) but only those without treatment will be impacted. Medical advances move slowly so I doubt they'll be any dev dis relationship changes. The big shock will be SCI fix I think. karotix5 and I have actually talked about this. Unless treatment was mandated or our future child had an insanely high mortality rate, we wouldn’t irradicate the symptoms of SMA (if I was a carrier and the child was born with SMA). I know that’s not a popular choice, but it’s one we are pretty adamant about. does anyone else think this is extremely selfish? I had a buddy with sma and his life was a living hell. he was one was one of the best people I ever met. yes, his sma made him who he was. but he was a good person despite his disability. NOT because of it.

one time I tried to get my buddy who had sma to join this site. he was border line offended when I told him what it was about. it makes me sad because he passed away without ever knowing love.

For those of you guys who have caregivers, do you feel like they make you less approachable/less able to approach people? Devotees, do you feel like the presence of caregivers stops you from approaching PWD? Why, or why not? I absolutely think it makes me less approachable. plus a lot of the times people will talk to me while they look at my caregivers. I've decided I'm going to try to go out alone more this summer.

challenge yourself to do one small thing that you wouldn't normally do. it will help you gain confidence. then the next time do something a little bigger.
whatever you decide to do it will make his day. I promise you!

I actually am finding myself with this dilemma right now with my gym crush. What to do, what to do?
I have such a strong longing to get to know him, not actually sexually at least at first even though I find him very attractive. My ideal scenario would be that we would somehow end up having coffee or something. I just don't know how to go about it. It doesn't help that I'm very shy. In my mind I'm picturing all those scenarios of being very up front or giving him a note or whatever...I'm just very scared.
And so I ponder and think about what the best way would be. I feel this is possibly my only opportunity, my one shot I ever have getting to know a guy on wheels who pulls me in so strongly and who actually affected me deeply already a few years ago. I keep coming around though to the fear that he may be totally freaked out if he knew I was a dev. This is really occupying my mind a lot lately. I'm seriously crushing on this guy and can't believe he appeared in my life again.
Any advice? just give him a note that says "you're cute" with your number on it. just walk up to him say "this is for you" and walk away with a smile on your face.
