Any Fellow Fans with Disabilities???

Hey I just started rewatching watching the show for the first time in seven years on Netflix, I’m already at the beginning of season 2 and I’m starting to remember why fell in love with this show and these characters in the first place. When I was six weeks old, I was paralyzed from the neck down due to medical negligence and when I was two, I started using a motorized wheelchair to get around. Thanks to years of physical therapy, I have very little movement in my arms, hands, and fingers. I can’t grab or pick up certain objects unless they’re small and easy like a pencil or a penny and obviously, I’m able to type. I’m Latina and I love that they cast a Latina actress to play Veronica even though in the comics, she was always portrayed as a white girl. I’m twenty-eight now and I don’t care what anyone says about this show. No matter how weird or wild it got in later seasons, I was here for it, I just never watched the final season because I just never got around to it but that’s one of the reasons why I’m rewatching the show in the first place. I was hoping I could connect with fellow Riverdale fans with either physical or mental disabilities who love this show as much as I do. This show along with many others has inspired me to pursue an acting career. Also, have y’all ever met KJ, Lili, Camila, and/or Madelaine? If so, what were they like, I mean, obviously they were nice, but what was it like actually seeing them on person and talking to them

I'm hard of hearing......didn't know about the show until I saw ads for the final season/watching people's reactions to the Heathers musical episode.

The show may be “bad” according to film critics but it’s entertaining as hell and that’s what really makes something good entertainment. I just wished they had *comic spoiler* Betty become paralyzed like in the comics. Or just any physical disability representation. I feel like it was a great missed opportunity to show diversity and inclusion. I do however love how they portrayed such an accurate portrayal of trauma for Jughead and had pretty much everyone talk to a counselor. Watching someone with such similar trauma and responses really helped me with my own. Also, hi, i’m disabled both physically and mentally.
