Share your Story online gives every Queenslander an opportunity to share their views, ideas and reflections on their experience of disability. You can share your story or read inspirational stories from other Queenslander's with a disability all year round. 

People share stories for a variety of reasons - to inform and educate others, to share achievements, to give hope, or just as a way of saying thank you. By sharing their stories they are helping Queenslanders gain a better understanding of their experience of disability.

I had a dream to become an audiologist. I was diagnosed at the age of three-and-a-half and now have a mild to profound bi-lateral sensorineural hearing loss.

While I don’t remember much of my childhood as I had epilepsy until I was seven, I became aware that I didn’t really fit in when I was in middle primary school.

At the age of 14 years my main ambition in life was to become an outstanding sportsman — to represent Australia at rugby league or as a member of the track and field team at the Olympics.

I have a passion for creativity, especially in the area of literature.

My name is Meghan. I am a very happy and confident 25-year-old young lady who was born with an intellectual disability — Down syndrome.
