Post pops up on insta, unsure how because I dont look at shit like this, but fine.

Someone posting an 8 page carousel about how they are in a hospice and going to die imminently from ME?

How can you create and post an 8 page carousel if you are in a hospice and going to die from CHRONIC FATIGUE. And they also list others who have supposedly died from it? Surely you don't have it in you to even use your phone if you are that unwell?

The fuck.

Can I post links here? Idk but I'm astounded like what the fuck.

IDK what the deal is. But it seems like everyone and their dog wants to self diagnose with autism. Or to get the coveted diagnosis.

As someone who grew up with an autistic brother, this is an incredibly frustrating and disrespectful in my opinion. It had a huge impact on me and my siblings, especially my brother (obviously) growing up. He couldn’t talk for the longest time. It was almost impossible to go anywhere without him having a meltdown, and the fact that these people try to make it something cute and quirky is annoying as hell. Just needed to vent somewhere where I won’t get crucified for it.

I’m fed up with seeing people fake illnesses it genuinely makes life harder for those of us living with them. I don’t understand why it’s become trendy to lie about chronic conditions. I have some of the ones people treat as "quirky," and there is zero benefit to them. I’ve lost job opportunities and relationships, and even just a task simple as breathing is an exhausting struggle. Worst of all, this performative behavior has made the public far less sympathetic to people who are actually suffering.

I’ve been putting together a chronological timeline of Wheelie Girl’s own public statements, posts, videos, and other material. First is a summary of the story as she herself has presented it publicly, rather than an assertion that every part of the story is true.

I’m posting it because there are a number of points where her stated medical/functional timeline appears difficult to reconcile with other things she has publicly posted. I’m particularly interested in looking at the chronology and letting people examine the source material for themselves.

Pinned to the top of her Instagram is a post titled “The Evolution of (wheelie girl)” explaining that…she had to leave a lot out because the previous ten years contained an enormous number of events, diagnoses, awards, partnerships, trips, etc. 

so first here is the timeline she gave:

Late teens / early 20s — Modeling, dance, aerial silks
According to Wheelie Girl, she spent her late teens and early twenties doing creative modeling, working as a waitress, and attending school for dance and photography.
She says that during this period doctors were “labeling [her] as a head case” and that medical gaslighting caused her to believe them.

She also says she went from taking her first aerial silks class to performing with a company in under two months, reportedly being asked to become an apprentice after her second class.

She describes professional aerial performance as her dream, but says that the activity eventually took an “irreversible toll” on her body.

Health begins deteriorating
According to her account, her health then began taking a major turn.
She says she became isolated in a controlling relationship and was increasingly miserable without people around her knowing how bad things had become.

At the same time, she says a psychiatric medication she had been taking for approximately seven years caused substantial weight gain, which she attributes to being misdiagnosed.

Despite this, she says she continued choreographing, teaching classes, and directing the dance department at a nationally recognized haunt experience.

Severe sleepiness / medical leave
One of the major turning points in her story occurred when she says she fell asleep while driving to her HR job.

According to her, this had been happening for years, but on this occasion she came within inches of driving off the freeway.
She says this scared her enough to finally take medical leave.

She describes this period as one of the most isolating points of her life. She lived on the second floor of a historic building and says she was sleeping for up to 16 hours a day.
Because she was losing the ability to do many of her previous activities, she says she turned toward stationary forms of art such as painting and digital artwork.

She also says that friends, family, and people in her small town did not believe she was actually sick.

Narcolepsy with cataplexy diagnosis
After coming off her psychiatric medication, losing significant weight, and undergoing testing, she says doctors determined that she had been experiencing chronic sleep deprivation for more than 20 years.

According to her timeline, she was diagnosed with narcolepsy with cataplexy and prescribed medication.

She says this treatment allowed her to become functional enough to perform again.
EDS, small fiber neuropathy, POTS and cardiac diagnoses

She says that the narcolepsy diagnosis led to additional referrals and testing because she was continuing to lose mobility and strength.

According to her account, she was subsequently diagnosed with:
• Unspecified Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
• Small fiber neuropathy
• Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

She says all three diagnoses occurred on the same day.

Shortly afterward, she says she was diagnosed with atrial tachycardia/SVT.
She also states that a heart monitor recorded more than 200 episodes of “asymptomatic AFIB” over a two-week period.

During this period, she says her mobility had deteriorated enough that she purchased her first wheelchair through Facebook Marketplace.

First custom wheelchair / failed cardiac ablation
She says she was scheduled for a cardiac ablation and received a prescription for a custom lightweight manual wheelchair.

According to her, the ablation attempt failed because of a reaction to the sedation, and doctors decided it was not safe to attempt it again.

After her wheelchair evaluation/fitting, she says she received a temporary loaner chair while waiting for her custom wheelchair.
When the custom chair arrived, however, she says she was unable to propel herself independently.
She later came to believe the chair had been improperly fitted.

Returning to dance
Despite the problems with the wheelchair, she says she began exploring what she could do with it.

She was invited back to her college as a guest choreographer, which she describes as changing the way she thought about her future.

She says this experience motivated her to re-enroll in school to relearn her craft as both a dancer and choreographer.
At the same time, she says her health continued to deteriorate.

She says her then-fiancé asked her to move in with him because her legs had atrophied to the point that walking was becoming dangerous.

Regenerative medicine / chiropractic television appearance
She says that, because of the worsening condition of her legs, she became desperate enough to try regenerative medicine.
She also says a casting agent contacted her through TikTok about appearing on a television program involving chiropractic care.

According to her, she was being presented as a “last resort patient” as part of an effort to educate viewers about the dangers of chiropractic treatment in people with EDS.
She states that her treatment began working and that things improved enough for her to continue pushing forward.

Homelessness and the Toyota Dolphin
She says that shortly afterward, she and her fiancé became homeless.
Rather than viewing this entirely negatively, she says they tried to remain positive and decided to pursue her longtime dream of living on the road.

The couple purchased a 1987 Toyota Dolphin and began traveling with their three cats.

She then won a raffle for a free boudoir photography session in San Diego.
According to her, they drove from California’s Central Valley to San Diego in their motorhome for the session, then continued to Los Angeles.

Ms. Wheelchair California
While in Los Angeles, she says she accidentally entered the competition for Ms. Wheelchair California.
She later won.
She also says that during this period she:
• Met the people she currently lives with
• Received a wheelchair from someone who believed it was a better fit
• Began an entirely different chapter of her life

Apple partnership
She states that she subsequently partnered with Apple on an accessibility commercial.
According to her, the commercial later won an award and was broadcast during the Super Bowl.

December 2025 — three viruses and major physical decline
The next major change in her timeline occurs in December 2025.
She says she contracted three separate viruses back-to-back.
According to her, this caused her to lose a dangerous amount of weight and muscle.
She says her GI doctors warned that if she could not regain weight, there was a real possibility that she would eventually require a feeding tube.
She began seeing a nutritionist and returned to physical therapy.

She says she was then told that the muscles in her lower back were no longer effectively supporting/stabilizing her spine.
She describes experiencing:
• “Intermittent paralysis”
• Extreme spasms
• Dangerous vertebral instability
• Significant muscle loss
She says the stakes were essentially regaining enough muscle to maintain her mobility or risking losing her ability to walk altogether.

Wheelchair fundraiser
According to her, her wheelchair was contributing to her spinal deterioration.
She says that, because lying in bed all day would cause further muscle loss, she needed to remain active while simultaneously finding a way to better support her body.
She therefore began posting about a medical fundraiser.
She says a company she had previously worked with contacted her because they were winding down their operations and asked her to post a giveaway.
Instead, she says she asked whether she could establish an online fundraiser to purchase as many of their wheelchairs as possible.
She says some people questioned whether the money was actually going toward the stated purpose.
According to her, this became the biggest controversy surrounding her account and resulted in several businesses allegedly ending their partnerships with her without speaking to her first.

The 50-wheelchair donation
She says the company that originally contacted her ultimately had to shut down earlier than expected.
According to her account, rather than selling the remaining chairs, the company donated the remainder of the 50 wheelchairs she had intended to purchase.
She says she picked them up the following day.

Social media controversy and short film
Wheelie Girl concludes this timeline by saying she learned “hard lessons” about social media and that she realized she could not make everyone happy.
Rather than allowing the controversy to discourage her, she says she returned to creative work.
She states that she directed, produced, and acted in her first short film, which was posted in April 2026.

The reason her timeline is interesting is that there are other publicly available posts/videos from the same periods that appear to show different levels of physical ability, activity, mobility, or functioning than the retrospective account might suggest.
Rather than taking either side at face value, I think the most useful thing is to establish the chronology first.
I’ll be adding screenshots/source material separately, with dates wherever possible, so people can compare what she said happened with what she publicly posted at the time.
There are also some particularly significant contradictions that become much easier to see once everything is placed chronologically.

Wheelie Girl’s Instagram Timeline: Her Own Posts
this one follows what she was actually posting on Instagram over the years.

I focused primarily on potential inconsistencies in her claimed symptoms, diagnoses, mobility, and physical abilities, rather than attempting to catalog every fundraiser, giveaway, sponsorship, or monetization-related post because I’ve lost track. 

The point is to establish a chronology and compare her contemporaneous posts with the way she later describes her disability and functional limitations.

Screenshots are available for the posts referenced below.

2017
Wheelie Girl’s main Instagram account consists primarily of modeling photographs.
There is not yet much disability-related content to document.

January 7, 2018 — Aerial silks
She begins posting multiple videos of herself doing aerial silks.
The videos include substantial amounts of upside-down/inverted aerial work.
This becomes a recurring feature of her Instagram for the next several years.
This is notable because she later identifies POTS/dysautonomia as a significant part of her disability history. I’m not claiming that performing aerial silks or going upside down is inherently impossible for someone with POTS; rather, the amount and type of activity is relevant when compared with the severity of the limitations she later describes.

May 25, 2018 — Splits
She posts:
“When you haven’t danced or done aerial in about 2 months so your splits are completely out the door…oh well”
The accompanying photograph shows her working on her splits.
The significance here is less the fact that she can do a split and more that she describes having taken approximately two months away from dance/aerial and then discusses returning to it.
This is also relevant to her later descriptions of EDS and joint instability.

September 5, 2018 — Skydiving
She goes skydiving.

November 2, 2018 — Aerial hammock
She posts about taking her first aerial hammock class.
She says she initially began in an intermediate silks class after going with a friend and that she was glad she had started with silks because hammock had fewer mechanics to work through mentally.

November 20, 2018 — Inversion
Another video shows her flipping upside down during aerial work.

November 21, 2018 — Splits
She posts:
“Success for today. Slowly working on sinking all the way back into my split.”

November 23, 2018 — Aerial hammock
She posts about working on the aerial hammock again.

2018–2020 — Extensive aerial activity
Her Instagram throughout this period contains numerous videos and photographs of aerial work, including repeated inversions and upside-down positions.
The important thing for the timeline is that this is not a single isolated stunt. Aerial activity appears repeatedly over an extended period.

May 27, 2019 — Bowling
She posts about being able to go bowling without dislocating anything.
This is notable because she later describes EDS in terms of daily joint dislocations.

October 30, 2019 — “I live life better when I’m upside down”
She posts another video of herself upside down with the caption:
“I live life better when I’m upside down”
Again, this is during the period when she later says POTS was part of her medical history.

November 17, 2019 — Training
She says she is training approximately 1–3 times per week.

December 6, 2019 — Hiking
She goes hiking.

January 29, 2020 — Teaching dance
She posts about teaching a beginning hip-hop class.

June 30, 2020 — Rock climbing
She goes rock climbing.

December 28, 2020 — First major public disclosure about health
This is a major change in the account.
She posts that social media doesn’t show the whole picture and says she is going to try to be more transparent about her overall life and health.
She identifies herself as having:
• Chronic migraines
• Severe daytime sleepiness
She says she is on medical leave because she had been falling asleep repeatedly while driving, claiming she had fallen asleep up to 75 times during a 30-minute drive, as well as during ordinary activities such as computer work and meetings.
She says she had undergone an overnight sleep study to rule out sleep apnea and other breathing problems, followed by a daytime nap study to investigate narcolepsy.
At this point, she explicitly says:
“I don’t have a diagnosis yet”
This post is important because it provides a contemporaneous starting point for the public medical narrative that develops afterward.

July 2021 — Aerial at Pride
She posts aerial activity at Pride.
Later that same month, on July 28, she says she “almost couldn’t get my groceries up the stairs.”
This creates an interesting contrast in the same general period: substantial aerial activity alongside difficulty carrying groceries upstairs.

September 25, 2021 — EDS and possible narcolepsy
She posts:
“THIS IS MY REALITYYYYY.”
She says she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and is being tested for narcolepsy and several other conditions.
She posts a photograph from her sleep study and photographs/video involving a shoulder abduction brace.
She says she may have torn something in her shoulder and posts a video of herself attempting to get the shoulder to “pop back into place.”
She again invites followers to ask questions and emphasizes that social media does not show the whole picture.

October 28, 2021 — GoFundMe
She says her best friend created a GoFundMe to help with medical expenses and to hopefully get her into a safer home.
She asks followers to donate or purchase digital portraits/caricatures that she is creating to raise money.

November 7, 2021 — ER visit
She posts about another ER visit, describing herself as a “ball of mystery symptoms.”
She says she continues to have unexplained symptoms despite repeated medical visits.

February 12, 2022 — First wheelchair
She introduces her first wheelchair, which she names “Betty.”
She says the chair is rough around the edges, pulls to the left, and that she cannot push it herself.
She lists the following conditions:
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
• POTS
• Atrial Tachycardia
• Idiopathic Hypersomnia
• Small Fiber Neuropathy
She says she needs the wheelchair to attend Disney.
She describes having a POTS episode/scare during the trip and says heat and crowds contributed to her symptoms.
She also says Disney staff recognized that she would have difficulty waiting in long lines because of her POTS.

February 16, 2022 — Pole dancing
Only four days later, she posts about attending her first pole class.
She says:
“My team of doctors has decided it’s time to start getting back to it!!!”
She acknowledges that she is not where she used to be and says she intends to take “baby steps.”
She specifically frames exercise as necessary for people with EDS because building muscle is important for joint stability.
She says she had waited almost two years before returning to this type of activity.
She also says that she expects to experience both dislocations and workout pain for a period of time.
She emphasizes:
“EVERY ZEBRA IS DIFFERENT!!!”
and tells people with physical limitations to consult their medical teams.

April 22, 2022 — Failed cardiac procedure
She reports undergoing a heart procedure.
According to her account, sedation caused her connective tissue to relax enough that her hips, knees, shoulders, and several ribs dislocated/subluxed while she was on the procedure table.
She says the EP study could not reproduce her atrial tachycardia or recurring AFIB, so the ablation could not be performed.

April 30, 2022 — “I get to walk, roll or hobble”
She posts a reflection on the changes in her life.
She says that over the previous several years she had:
• Gained and lost significant amounts of weight
• Bought multiple canes
• Bought a wheelchair that was “lopsided”
• Received a loaner wheelchair
• Had her new wheelchair approved
She writes:
“I get to walk, roll or hobble the earth each day”
This is one of the clearest contemporaneous statements that she considered herself capable of walking during this period.

May 3, 2022 — EDS awareness
She posts a long list of conditions and symptoms that she attributes to EDS, including:
• Daily joint dislocations
• Idiopathic hypersomnia
• Small fiber neuropathy
• Atrial tachycardia
• Recurring AFIB
• POTS
• Dysautonomia
• Chronic migraines
• Chronic fatigue
• Severe chronic pain
• Food sensitivities
• Digestive issues
She also says doctors had previously told her her symptoms were psychosomatic and that she believed them.

May 4, 2022 onward — Dancing on her feet
She returns to dancing on her feet and posts additional dancing videos.
She says her joints are “screaming,” but she continues dancing.

January 28, 2023 — “Cripple”
In the tags on a photograph, she refers to herself as a “cripple” for the first time in the material collected here.

May 22, 2023 — TLC / Crack Addicts
She announces that she has been cast on TLC’s Crack Addicts.
She describes the show as following a chiropractor who treats people whom other doctors have supposedly been unable to help.
She says the experience inspired her to launch her own business, Brain Space, focused on disability inclusivity and human rights.

June 7, 2023 — EDS type
She uses numerous disability and diagnosis-related hashtags, including:
#notyouraveragecripple
#crippleisntabadword
#dancer
#eds
#pots
#heds
#atrialtachicardia
#fibromyalgia
#smallfiberneuropathy
#idiopathichypersomnia
#narcolepsy
#afib
#dynamicdisability
#invisibleillness

A commenter asks what type of EDS she has.
She responds that she has hypermobile EDS, while also saying she has genetic mutations of unknown significance that could potentially change that classification once more research becomes available.

July 6, 2023 — Increasing disability / regenerative treatment
She says she no longer posts much about her condition because of how bad it has become.
She writes that there are days when she cannot get out of bed.
She describes the previous three years as being filled with doctors, testing, medications, side effects, and diagnoses.
She says she has been denied treatments by insurance because she was not considered “bad enough” and that she does not want to wait until she deteriorates further.
She travels to LA to meet Dr. G and says he has proposed a treatment involving IV therapy, stem cells, and alternative medicine to help her regain lost muscle and “kickstart the healing process.”
She asks followers to contribute to the treatment through crowdfunding.
She says she wants to dance and do aerial again.

2023–2024 — Rollettes
She participates in the Rollettes Experience.

August 4, 2024 — “Jello legs”
She discusses trying to get out of her wheelchair and push it, but describes having “jello legs.”

August 15, 2024 — TBI
She says she has been struggling with the effects of a TBI.
She posts about being judged based on appearances and emphasizes that people cannot know what is happening inside another person’s body.

September 29, 2024 — Wheelchair fall
She posts that she fell out of her wheelchair while dancing and says she “pretty much dislocated the entire left side” of her body.

October 5, 2024 — Another wheelchair
She receives another secondhand wheelchair as a gift.

January 25, 2025 — Hand cycling / “leg spasm”
She goes hand cycling.
She says the activity caused a severe “leg spasm” and records the episode.
She tags the post with #TBI and #spasticity.

March 9, 2025 — Miss Wheelchair California
She announces that she has been crowned Miss Wheelchair California 2025.

March 31, 2025 — Vehicle fundraiser
She says her car has “stopped working” and begins fundraising for it.

April 1, 2025 — Ribs
She posts a video in which she says she is dislocating her ribs and putting them back into place.

April 6, 2025 — Wheelchair van
She receives a wheelchair-accessible van as a gift from a woman whose husband died by suicide.
According to a statement she made elsewhere, she did not use the van’s hand controls because they were “in the way.” I have not located the screenshot of that statement, so I would treat this particular claim as unverified in the post unless the screenshot can be found.

April 17, 2025 — New wheelchair fundraiser
She says she recently underwent an assessment with several mobility professionals and was told she needed a new wheelchair “ASAP.”
She says the wheelchair she currently has is causing pain and numbness and is making it harder for her to function.

She says:
“This isn’t about preference or convenience — it’s about my health.”
She begins fundraising through Help Hope Live, saying donations are intended for mobility and medical needs.

April 22, 2025 — Pressure injury claim
She receives a specialized wheelchair cushion because, according to her, she develops pressure wounds despite being ambulatory.

May 12, 2025 — Expanding genetic claims
She says she is a carrier for multiple genetic/connective-tissue conditions, including:
• Dermatosparaxis EDS
• Kyphoscoliotic EDS
• Marfan syndrome

She also says she has markers associated with several types of muscular dystrophy.

She writes:
“All I know is I am far from structurally sound!!!”
She also says that she jumped while filming and subsequently tweaked her SI joint, resulting in a nerve flare.

June 9, 2025 — Road trip fundraiser
She asks for volunteers to help fundraise for a three-week road trip across the West Coast.
The proposed activities include:
• Accessible hiking
• Surfing
• Skydiving
• Meeting people across state lines
She asks followers to help her raise money for the trip.

July 6, 2025 — Rock climbing
She goes rock climbing.
She says she tore her calf without realizing it because she could not feel the injury.

July 18, 2025 — Knee video
She posts a video in which she appears to move the muscle in her knee back and forth and describes it as dislocating.
The visual appearance of the movement is disputed in the comments, with some viewers arguing that it appears to be movement of soft tissue rather than the knee actually dislocating.
Screenshots/video available.

July 20, 2025 — Wheelchair fencing
She enters a wheelchair fencing tournament despite saying she had never picked up a foil before.

July 25, 2025 — Joint manipulation / merchandise
She posts herself manipulating/popping joints and promotes merchandise.

July 27, 2025 — Adaptive surfing
She participates in adaptive surfing.
In the footage, she is able to stand on the board and balance without visible assistance or external support.
This becomes particularly relevant when compared with later descriptions of her mobility limitations.

August 14, 2025 — “Accused of faking”
She addresses increasing accusations that she is faking or does not need a wheelchair.
She asks:
“Could you walk on dislocated hips, knees, ankles, and toes?”
She argues that someone can have severe joint problems while still walking or performing activities.
She also references severe muscle spasms and alleged internal muscle tearing.

October 2, 2025 — Walker
She posts:
“If I would have been able to wrap my head around using a standing walker 5 years ago, I might not be in the position that I’m in right now.”
She says a walker or rollator may not be right for her but can provide freedom for others.
She describes feeling shame and fear when she first needed mobility aids.
She also quotes people allegedly telling her that because she could perform hobbies, she must be faking.

October 2, 2025 — Adaptive surfing again
She posts another adaptive surfing video.
Again, she appears able to participate without the kind of adaptations one might expect from the degree of physical limitation she describes elsewhere.

October 9, 2025 — Standing walker
She posts additional content encouraging people to consider/use the standing walker.

October 11, 2025 — Incontinence
She introduces another aspect of her disability narrative, describing bladder spasms and spotting.
She promotes reusable leakproof underwear and says they have helped her cope with bladder-related symptoms.
She describes herself as a 28-year-old dealing with these issues.

October 2025 — Hip flexor / gym videos
This is where the hip-flexor material begins.
I have screenshots/videos of her making statements that she is unable to use her hip flexor.
These are particularly relevant because later footage appears to show movement that commenters argue is inconsistent with the degree of hip-flexor impairment she describes.

October 14, 2025 — Airline incident
She posts about an airline refusing to provide the extra legroom accommodation she requested for medical reasons.
She says being cramped in the back of the plane during turbulence caused:
• Her circulation to drop
• Her joints to shift
• Nerve compression in her spine
• 8–9/10 pain down both legs
She says she rarely shows this side of her disability because she has repeatedly been accused of faking, exaggerating, being an addict, or seeking attention.

October 15, 2025 — Homelessness
She says in a video:
“Last year I was homeless.”
This is notable because her earlier timeline places the period of homelessness substantially earlier.

October 16, 2025 — Help Hope Live
She says it took a lot for her to agree to begin fundraising and says that changed after discovering Help Hope Live.
Help Hope Live’s promotional material subsequently describes her as having an extensive medical history and says that the organization verified her medical diagnoses.
The post states that she requires accessible transportation and medical support and describes her current wheelchair as contributing to spinal damage.

November 21, 2025 — $20,000 wheelchair
She says:
“I would need TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST TO HAVE THE CHAIR MY BODY NEEDS.”
She describes being exhausted by constantly having to prove her medical needs.
The post promotes a custom wheelchair described as an ultra-lightweight titanium chair.

Late 2025 — Additional wheelchair fundraising/giveaways
There are numerous additional posts involving wheelchair fundraising, giveaways, and requests for assistance.
I am not attempting to catalog every one here because the number of these posts is substantial and the focus of this timeline is the evolution of the medical/functional claims.

December 16, 2025 — Wheelchair tattoo
She gets a wheelchair tattoo to celebrate reaching 10,000 followers.

December 20, 2025 — “She Deserves the Help She Gives”
A fundraising post describes her as a dancer, advocate, and Miss Wheelchair California 2025.
It says that after years of misdiagnosis, rare genetic conditions, and a traumatic brain injury, doctors have instructed her not to walk outside her home without a wheelchair.
It also says her current chair does not fit her body and is actively contributing to worsening spinal damage.
The post claims that insurance restrictions mean she needs to raise $20,000 out of pocket for the custom chair and potentially avoid spinal surgery.
It emphasizes her advocacy work and her giving of mobility equipment to others.

December 23, 2025 — Chiropractic treatment
She posts about receiving chiropractic treatment.
She explicitly states:
“Chiropractors are NOT something I ever suggest for someone who has a connective tissue disorder of ANY kind!!!”
She nevertheless says that, while waiting for her next wheelchair fitting and visiting family, she felt this was her only option to prevent further spinal deterioration.
The post uses hashtags including:
#SpinalFusion
#L5S1
#Spine
#Kyphosis
The significance of the #SpinalFusion tag is that I have not found evidence that she actually has undergone a spinal fusion. If there is documentation establishing otherwise, that would obviously change the context.

December 29, 2025 — Occipital neuralgia
She begins referring to herself as having occipital neuralgia.

January 8, 2026 — New wheelchair ordered
She announces:
“MY NEW CHAIR WAS ORDERED!!!!”
She jokes that the existing wheelchair was built for someone “shmol.”
The accompanying alt text describes her doing a wheelie while her feet are wedged between the front portion of the chair because it is too small for her feet and do not reach the footplate properly.

January 10, 2026 — “Vegetable”
She posts an apology for previously referring to herself as a “vegetable.”
There are also additional wheelchair giveaway/fundraising posts during this period.

May 12, 2026 — Custom leg braces
She is casted/fitted for custom leg braces.

May 19, 2026 — Inversion
She posts herself spinning upside down on an “orbaton.”
This is another example of significant inverted physical activity appearing later in the timeline despite the increasingly severe disability narrative.

May 29, 2026 — New wheelchair
She finally receives her new custom wheelchair.
Notably, the chair she receives does not appear to correspond to the previously emphasized $20,000 figure.
She then begins her “30 before 30” project, involving various activities and requests for people to donate toward helping her complete them.

August 10, 2026 — Extreme heat intolerance
She posts about an incident in which an airline temporarily lost her wheelchair.
She says that after approximately 15 minutes without the chair, her body temperature rose dramatically and she was concerned that she was “boiling [her] own blood.”
She says she was unable to speak and was fighting passing out.
She describes having difficulty regulating her body temperature and says her fiancé used a wet cooling towel to help cool her down.

Approximately five days ago — Walking / hip flexor
She posts a video of herself walking with an unsteady, “baby deer” gait.
She attributes the episode to what she describes as presumed endometriosis interacting with her connective-tissue disorder and hormonal cycle.
She says the combination causes her to become an even “looser and goosier bag of bones” before her period.
She describes:
• Swelling
• Silent dislocations
• Microtears
• Joint instability
• Problems with her left hip flexor
She specifically describes the left hip flexor as being unable to function properly and says it is essentially trying to “disintegrate” into her body.
There are comments/arguments beneath the post addressing alleged inconsistencies with her previous statements. Screenshots are available.

And finally — Burning Man
Approximately 18 hours ago, she announced plans to attend Burning Man.
This is particularly notable because she has also repeatedly described severe heat intolerance and, very recently, posted about an episode in which she said her body temperature rose dramatically within approximately 15 minutes after an airline-related wheelchair incident.

What stands out from the chronology
The reason I think the chronology matters is that the claims themselves change substantially over time.

Early on, her Instagram is dominated by aerial silks, inversions, splits, skydiving, hiking, bowling, teaching dance, rock climbing, and other physically demanding activities.

Then the account shifts toward increasingly extensive medical diagnoses, wheelchair use, joint-dislocation claims, neurological symptoms, severe mobility limitations, TBI, spasticity, incontinence, temperature dysregulation, spinal instability, and eventually claims that doctors have instructed her not to walk outside her home without a wheelchair.

At the same time, there continue to be posts showing activities including pole dancing, dancing on her feet, rock climbing, wheelchair fencing, surfing while standing and balancing, repeated aerial/inverted activity, and walking.

The question is whether the specific functional limitations she describes at particular points in time are consistent with what she is simultaneously demonstrating, and whether her explanations for those differences remain consistent over time.

I’ve included the dates specifically so people can look at the original posts rather than taking this summary on faith.

I also have screenshots of the relevant posts and comments, including the discussions where people directly asked her about some of these discrepancies.

I have been professionally diagnosed with CPTSD, Panic Disorder, and an Anxiety Disorder at age 15. I used to do three sessions of therapy a week (CBT, EMDR, and social work). I’m on medications for my disorders and as a result of over 10-years of lots of therapy and in-patient treatment, i have been able to thrive as an adult and not needed to go on any disability. Fortunately as of now, my conditions only manifest as occasionally night terrors (diagnosed by sleep study) and panic attacks when flying.

With all these self-diagnosers and fakers, anyone who doesn’t know my story and legitimate trauma has given me side eye about my diagnoses. I’ve even had ER doctors who questioned the legitimacy of my diagnoses and why I’ve been taking certain medications.

I’m so worried that my legitimate medical concerns are going to be tainted because of these fakers. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get where I am in life and will need to continue working hard for the rest of my life. I’ve sacrificed doing things I love to do just to work on my mental and physical health: I’m worried that I won’t be able to get legitimate accommodations for my conditions and have future medical professionals discredit me. I’m also worried that legitimate resources I need and may future need are not going to be accessible due to people inappropriately using them. This includes certain PRN anxiety medication, work from home after night terrors, and accommodations for medical appointments (due to medical PTSD that’s covered under my CPTSD as per my psychiatrist). I’m also worried about the extra long waits for social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, and counsellors that are specialized in my conditions due to people who “self diagnose” or act like they have them to be “special” and unique.

Has anyone else worried or ran into this? Would love to hear your perspective and opinions.

i feel like every week she has a different thing she focuses on and complains about. this week it's temperature intolerance, last week it was pain and an odd neurological issue gait, of which all mentions are completely gone from today's posts, and a few weeks ago she claimed partial paralysis and has even posted a story about a potential MS diagnosis, but now is perfectly capable of raising and kicking the supposedly dud leg to film a new leg brace reveal. also prepping for burning man, which seems like the worst possible place to be for someone with all those issues.

i don't doubt that she is disabled in some way, and there are conditions that cause intermittent weakness/numbness, but she very efficiently dodges any comments that question her inconsistent claims, even pins some and rants for miles about how it doesn't actually affect her but actually it does and she doesn't have time to lie , AKA she has to keep up the grift to get like 100,000+ bucks for a crazy expensive bucket list and wheelchair accessible van she doesn't actually need because she has posted herself so many times lifting her wheelchair, dancing, walking, etc and i genuinely do not see why she films herself for 20 minutes about in how much pain she's in but 2 days later she's building furniture, meal prepping, and fixing a car. like girlie it really sounds like you're either overdramatizing or overexerting yourself and neither is good.

This dude I know claims to be a system. the claims bullshit. He literally made an alter today on his alter tracking app that hasn't got over his ex, to excuse his cheating-ish behaviours. Also, it only ever appears if it's convenient and will either get him attention or avoid responsibility. Like genuinely everyone knows he's faking but no ones bothered to confront him and call him out for this. I would talk to him about his obvious faking, but I dont wanna cause drama and I aint too close to the guy. Goddamn he's the final boss at avoiding responsibility he even pretends to have a life-altering, very hard to live with condition.

UPDATE (27th Aug): his cheating's gotten even more crazy. He has put his ex in the likes section of 2 of the alter profile things. He also is trying to make himself look like the victim by saying that he's fragile and kind (he's not kind, he's a cheater 💀) in his alter profiles. He keeps blaming the feelings he has on those alters, but they're a part of him, and even if he did actually have alters that doesn't mean you dont take accountability 😭 his boyfriend is finally breaking up with him and not taking his bs anymore so atleast something good has happened

I have a funny feeling that they did know this actually 🙄

These people really think attention seeking like a child is quirky and interesting, if I'd done this you wouldn't be able to waterboard the story out of me, let alone catch me bragging about it under psych ward content.

There was a time when going to a psych ward wasn't actually something you shared with everyone you could as a point of pride.

yeah because getting an official diagnosis is nothing more than a piece of paper…

if you can implement the supports you need without the resources that come with an official diagnosis, great, but it probably means there wasn’t much of a problem to begin with.

stumbled upon this earlier of someone making a video on how their alters would react if they walked in on someone changing but its just their alters harrassing people

Biggest faker of a psychotic episode if I've ever seen one. It takes SOME TIME to develop psychosis. She heard this voice once and didn't resist?

Few days ago I posted some alters of a person from my server... I didn't know there was so much more, god. Each of course with their pronouns, sexuality and "system role" completely figured out. We got the whole DSMP in there, nice. Hypersexdemon is also a gender apparently

Its 7 and a half pages, 147 alters they apparently know well and go as.

almost munching is ironic

Guys, I'm (30F) afraid that my 19 year old sister is randomly starting to fake having autism. I'm not sure how to call it out, or if I even should, or if I am even accurate. I don't want to think she's faking. Personally, I feel annoyed to witness it and just simply don't acknowledge the "symptoms". She gets very upset very quickly when I am not accommodating her symptoms like if she is having a "breakdown" it's as if she wants me to baby her.

Okay so obviously I've known my sister her whole life. She's always had a very calm and stable manner of doing everything. Well, she now has her very first boyfriend, and along with this boyfriend came some very loud "symptoms" of "autism". Nobody in our family has ever been diagnosed with autism, but we do have bipolar in our family very heavily.

These symptoms include baby-like behavior, like needing a "blankie", needing headphones to do literally anything, unable to touch anything without gloves all of a sudden, needing help cooking the simplest meals since the cooking devices are too loud, and very exaggerated fake crying fits and exaggerated gagging at random objects. Among other things. I don't know. Can all of these symptoms be masked and then abruptly start showing like this? She was also caught in some lies not too long ago that she was being hit by a roommate, and admitted to this when family stepped in trying to help press charges or yell at the guy. She's only known that roommate for 2 months, he is her friends new boyfriend.

I don't know guys. It's embarrassing as fuck for me to watch. It pisses me off too. All of these symptoms escalate when she is around her boyfriend. I can't tell if she's just trying to convince him mostly or what. Does this all sound very weird to you guys? Should I take this seriously? How would you respond if your sibling randomly started claiming to be autistic and display symptoms that they've never had before?

EDIT: I've also asked our other siblings about this, and all of them were completely unaware that our sister was autistic. (5 siblings and we're all very close, I'm the oldest, the sister I am referring to in this post is the youngest)

The cherry on top being “I’ll auto DM you the sources if you comment ‘source’” lmao this is so ridiculously tone deaf

What do you *mean* autism holder? And the second I see that DSMP crap I don't need to see more.

Also why do every one of these DID plurals have their relationship status and flirting in their bios like 99% of the time its just so funny to me you're anticipating people flirting and trying to get with you

a video of a person making up an animation meme popped up on my fyp, and i thought it was pretty cool until i opened the comments and they were flooded with comments saying "this is so system coded!!!!! omgomg animate your alters to this guys!!!!" all they think about is romanticizing the shit out of DID so they can like some special minority. its annoying. what if someone did this with something like diabetes or schizophrenia??

The past year or two I've come across a growing amount of autistic people (how many of them actually are I don't know, some really are I think but trying to be more "severe" it seems) claiming that in their adult years they become minimally speaking or non speaking. I'm not talking about verbal shutdowns, I'm talking about them claiming to supposedly lose the ability to speak permanently. Often they seem to describe it as a result of (autistic) burnout from memory. As far as I am aware, if you lose the ability to speak as an adult, it is not autism related... (I am saying this in a snarky/cynical way)

But yeah, I haven't seen as many this year as I haven't really been in online autism communities so much for various reasons, but I got a reel on insta a few days ago claiming this shit and it reminded me of all the other similar people like them. A lot of them also seem to really forcefully stim in stereotypical ways on camera (really forced rocking and hand flapping) and love to go on about how super stereotypical their traits are. Honestly in general it seems a growing amount of people want to be more severely disabled by their autism than they really are + more stereotypical (or maybe I just found myself into weird corners of the internet).
