So many stories of persons with disabilities are told from the outside looking in. Often, we are portrayed as tragic and/or brave, and it is easy to lose sight of our common humanity. We are seen as “other.” Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1988, I have resisted and resented this attitude whenever I encounter it in person, print or online. In June 2008 I started taking self portraits with the intention of showing from the inside the day-to-day life of a person with a disability, that person being myself. patricialaydorsey/GalleryMain.asp?GalleryID=129844&AKey=Q7HKRV3H
