Disability and FA media representation
Fiona Cauley is a stand-up comedian who is also living with Friedreich’s Ataxia, and she was recently on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon! She likes to raise awareness of the disease, all while bringing humor and light to our situation.
Jimmy Fallon even mentions going to http://www.curefa.org to learn more about Friedreich’s Ataxia.
What does this type of representation mean to you?
Below is a link to the clip of Fiona’s performance:

Watch this interview that FA News did with Fiona Cauley! She discusses how her disability helped shape her path as a comedian.
What is your career path, and how has living with FA impacted it as comedy did with Fiona?
