Episode Notes
Todd is looking for love, but isn’t comfortable disclosing his multiple sclerosis on his dating profile. As his symptoms become more and more noticeable, Todd feels he needs to be honest about his disability with potential dates, but he’s not sure when or how to do it. In this episode of How To!, Carvel Wallace hosts Jessica Slice and Caroline Kopp, authors of Dateable: Swiping Right, Hooking Up, and Settling Down While Chronically Ill and Disabled. They offer advice to Todd on how to tell the story, navigate ableism, and manage his own internal expectations.
