L.A. Affairs: I’m a disabled woman. Is that a dating deal breaker?

“I was 8 years old when a rupture in my brain stem left me in a wheelchair, unable to speak, partially paralyzed.

I needed emergency brain surgery and then years of therapy to learn to talk again and walk again. 

Today, I’m very lucky. I have my own consulting business, but I walk with a limp and I have no mobility in my left hand. I’ve also never found love…”
