I am a physically disabled and autistic actor. My disability affects my thoracic/lumbar spine. I suffer from degenerative lumbar spine and lumbar degenerative disease and have advanced scoliosis and kyphosis. I can walk with the use of crutches depending on the distance and my strength hence frequently make use of a wheelchair over long distances.

My debut feature Running With Crutches as Writer/Director/Actor can be screened on the streaming channel Kanopy.
