“It can be hard to find accurate representations of any relationships that include disability.” In episode 7, Jaxson and Kurin discuss how we all want to connect with people in meaningful ways and how for disabled people, there might be more to think about. Together they explore why communication is key, how we can set boundaries with each other to encourage respect and safety in relationships, exploring ways we can value disabled relationships with love, and the diversity in how relationships and connections form. QUESTIONS 1. What are some questions that might break the ice and help us be open and honest with each other? 2. How do we deal with the awkwardness of starting a new friendship or relationship? 3. What are some different types of relationships we have seen and know about that don’t fit the standard model?
