How Our Fixation on Independence as a Universal Goal Excludes Disabled, Chronically Ill People

In this episode, we look at how society's obsession with independence ignores the support disabled, neurodivergent, or chronically ill people need.  This piece was written and narrated by Devrupa Rakshit. ‘The One Story’ is TS Studio’s weekly podcast series, where we narrate The Swaddle’s long form features at the intersection of health, gender, and culture.
