SILENT disability Awareness. Why accessibility is important!
I want to take a moment to explain something about how I create my rabbit education content, because some people have noticed the formatting style and asked about it. YesāI use assistive tools, including ChatGPT, as part of my writing process. Iām autistic/ADHD with dyslexia and a learning disability. These tools donāt ādo the research for meāāthey help me communicate the research Iāve already done. Why I use these tools: ⢠They help me organize sections when Iām hyperfocused. ⢠They slow my brain down enough to process information clearly. ⢠They catch backwards letters, grammar errors, and visual mistakes my eyes literally donāt see. ⢠They reduce redundancy and polish ideas Iāve already developed. Everything I teach comes from peer-reviewed rabbit nutrition literatureāWRSA, INRA, and decades of published studies. I spent years reading primary research while building the BunClub wiki, and I realized the rabbit community deserved deeper explanations. I wanted to understand why recommendations exist, not just repeat them, so I built the course I wish I could have learned from. Accessibility tools simply help me take the knowledge Iāve gained and make it readable and structured. That isnāt āAI writing for me.ā Thatās me using the same kind of accessibility support that allows millions of disabled people to communicate and workājust like someone uses glasses, dictation software, or a wheelchair. I also subtitle my videos because I have followers who are deaf or who process information better through text. Accessibility isnāt just something I need personallyāitās something I intentionally build into my content so more people can learn. My goal is to make scientifically accurate rabbit information available and understandable. The tools I use simply help make my thought process communicable. The research is mine, the way I express the subject is mine, and the passion behind it is mine.
