In this week's episode, I spoke with Tara O'Connor, dog mom, aunt, EMG technician, and warrior of Type 1 Narcolepsy (Narcolepsy with Cataplexy). Tara and I talk about the importance of self-advocacy--especially in the school setting--to receive proper accommodations. Unfortunately, Tara talks about how she was denied accommodations for Narcolepsy by her sleep technology teacher in college! How unbelievable is that! Tara also shares the numerous rude remarks she has received due to her condition, but we talk about how she uses these experiences as motivation to advocate for Narcolepsy and improve the experiences of others with sleep disorders--she was even on the local news for World Narcolepsy Day!
