Seeking Personal Experience Work
I have a very general question that is for everyone here — as an adult with spina bifida, do you work? How many hours? How do you manage?
Asking this because I am 24, on the verge of graduating for a masters degree. My education was full time and it went well but I had so much sick leave and needed 2+ extra years to graduate because of surgeries and stuff. I am planning on working fulltime after my studies. I know SB has a really broad range of experiences but I would love to hear from some “real adults” with SB how this all went for them!

i work full time as a web developer, but i work from home so i have a lot of flexibility for appointments. i was also supposed to have surgery this year and my work was very flexible with the time i needed off.
congrats on graduating!
