One thing most people don’t know is that power wheelchairs can recline — and when you’re out in public, that feature tends to draw a lot of attention.
Reclining isn’t for relaxation. It’s often necessary for medical reasons, pressure relief, or pain management. But when people see me reclined outdoors — even on completely level ground — the most common question I get is:
“Are you okay?”
This comic, “Finding My Angle,” comes from those moments. It gives a glimpse into what it’s like when a normal part of my day looks unusual to everyone else.
I’m creating more of these comics to help people understand experiences they might be curious about but aren’t sure how to ask. Humor makes those conversations easier and more human.
I’d love your thoughts:
