Dannie Llyr (they/them) have a couple different disabilities and chronic illnesses such as autism, POTS, dysautonomia, and arthritis to name a few. But they don’t let their chronic pain stop them from doing the things they love.

Dannie loves to dance and hike, and they have learned to adapt many of the activities they love, so they can still do them without being in constant pain.

When asked how they adapt, Dannie said they have learned how to dance in their wheelchair when their legs get tired, or choosing less strenous trails to hike when out with friends. Dannie says that the one thing they wish, is that people with chronic illnesses get to have a seat at the table when talking about disability and inclusion.
