Alice in Chronic Land
I took a long break on my channel which focused on running a business as an autistic person. Unfortunately I had to shut my business as:
A) the cost of living crisis hit and my sales took a nosedive and
B) symptoms that were mild and creeping in had fully hit, especially from the summer of 2023.
Since then I have been working on my health but struggling every day. I started a tiktok account a couple of weeks ago to talk about life with a chronic illness and focusing on living on benefits and discrimination around that as well as disability stigma in general.
Now I thought I'd kick start my channel up again, name changed from Autistic Wonderland to Alice in Chronic Land (still wanting the Alice in Wonderland theme of course)
