  • Living with Autism & Muscular Dystrophy: Gila's Story

    Living with Autism & Muscular Dystrophy: Gila's Story
    2026/09/15

    Send us Fan Mail

    What is it like living with autism, muscular dystrophy and speech and language difficulties?

    In this episode of Dis-labled, Gila shares an honest and emotional account of her daily life. She talks about work, friendships, independence, anxiety, using a wheelchair, and the challenges of navigating a world that doesn't always understand disability.

    Gila also opens up about masking, hiding her true feelings, and the pressure to appear happy when things are difficult. Along the way, she reflects on how far she has come, the obstacles she has overcome, and why learning to accept herself has been such an important journey.

    This is a powerful conversation about disability, identity, resilience and being yourself.
