My life story (Hemiplegia Stroke & Stutter) Blog Hi, I’m Alec and I’m 22. I had a stroke at the age of 4, which has left me with a left-sided hemiplegia and stutter. I have started my own personal blog where I will share my life experiences in relation to coping with a disability. My primary target is to share my thoughts and emotions, in the hope that other’s with similar difficulties will feel that they are not alone. In addition, I hope it will make people without a disability realise the consequences of how their hurtful comments, impatience and stares can have such a negative and significant impact on the morale of someone with a disability. I am planning on writing weekly blog articles, including Throwback Thursdays, where I will discuss an event in my life where my disability was challenged as well as posting weekly about the challenges that I have faced. You can read my introductory article, which explains all about my life story so far below! ( I have also posted an article which highlights the family traumas which have affected my disability ) which you can also find on my blog. It would be amazing if you could follow my blog in order to stay in touch for future content. http://livingwithadisability.com/2018/02/20/alec-whitaker-my-life-story/
