A new perspective

I stumbled on an interesting website today called multiplesclerosis(acts like a vacuum cleaner). It's full of pages from the perspective of a person with MS and so much of it was familiar. But I particularly liked a page that talked about a kit that could be used to demonstrate to an individual in some small way what it's like to have MS.

As a side note - I don't agree with the author that those who just don't get it are jerks. They just don't get it. It's hard to get. I don't always get it. Maybe that's because I'm a jerk and don't know it!

Anyway, I thought the illustration was pretty good. He calls it the "MS Perspective Kit". It made me laugh out loud and it made me cry.

Nope, not me - I'm the one trying to "get it" - we laughed & cried together.

Well, I just spent some time reading the MS perspective kit, and two more articles that were linked to it. It's fascinating, and sad and funny all at the same time. I know I'll go back and read more. Do you know who the author is?
