✰ About Me ✰
My name is Zara Beth (zeezee25 on tiktok) and I post videos about disability, neurodiversity and what its like living with Tourette's Syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Orthostatic Hypotension. Tourette's syndrome is a neurological condition causing involuntary movements called tics.
I use my social media (TikTok, YouTube and Instagram) to advocate and raise awareness for my conditions and show what it is like living with a disability as a neurodivergent person. I am also autistic and share my sensory struggles along with my experiences with mental health disorders.
I show what its like having a disability and the accommodations I have to help my daily life. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user showing my life using mobility aids and how chronic illness symptoms change from day to day!
I am also a musician with a popular song called "She's Mine" available on all streaming services - I wrote, produced, mixed and mastered all my songs myself! I am also an artist and a writer. I love reading and I'm currently writing a novel and a book about my life!

Thank you for your video. When I used to use a scooter and I'd go shopping in Aldi. I didn't dare stand up or get off of it. In case someone called me out. I wanted to go out tomorrow and my son is willing to push me. I may finally take the plunge from your encouragement. ❤️😊

[TheDaniela]

More people need to learn about this! I've seen people call out low mobility people because of their own ignorance too many times.

[waffles]

Yep, and it can just be due to temporary illness/injury. I used a wheelchair for a month as a child due to injuring my ankle and shoulder at the same time, and, despite the boot on one foot, I got accused of faking so often when I stood up on my other leg.

As a dynamic wheelchair user, THANK YOU! I have the problem of not being able to walk far. Short works. Long does not.

[Lets_B_Unique]

Yay!!! You'd think abled-bodied people would understand that disabilities have nuances but they don't 😂 thanks for the video you look very pretty today Zara ❤

[elynamusy]

As a person with ASD and SED (eilher-danlos) I will probably need an ambulatory wheelchair in the future, and your videos help me a lot in that regard. I easily tell myself that "I'm not that bad to use it" or that "I need to be as strong as possible all the time so that I'm not a deadweight to my family", I've trouble to acknowledge my weakness and take the help that I need. But I'm making some improvements lately 💪

Thanks for all your work in the visibility of the handi feld 😌💚🧡

PS: Sorry for the possible mistakes I'm French and still not as fluant as I want to be in English. 🙏

I have fibromyalgia and use a wheelchair. ❤

[malcire]

Great message and point. Honestly tons of people don't understand that people have different requirements. They think in binaries. And I was until I met people using wheel chairs who had some use of their legs but not just all or none like I had been exposed to before.

[Yammaegg]

Thank you for letting me know!! I was super confused when a kid at my school who uses a wheel chair and crutches, started running on the field so now I know hat maybe he has something like you explained😅

[KamillaMirabelle]

@Zara_Beth and most part time wheelchair users are the one there are the most frustrated that they need it part time.. i'm working with disabled people and not knowing when you can and cannot do things, are frustrating as hell.. this are also true for autistic people, talking of experience

[Professional.Ninjago.Enjoyer]

Love your outfit today Zara! I don't use a wheelchair, but i am a part-time cane user. You inspire me so much!

[katymitchell]

Thank you. I had no idea. I have to use my cane sometimes and a cash of braces I use off and on. I have been considering getting a wheelchair but I thought I would wait til I'm more immobile. ❤❤

[AmethystWoman]

I have CRPS. I've not allowed myself to use a wheelchair tho I've been in pain every single minute of every single day for 45 years. Now that I need one, I can't afford, at age 69, to get a lift to get my Air Hawk folding wc in and out of my car. Its not cheap being disabled. Thanks for your vids and thanks for also being out loud and proud. 🏳️‍🌈

[mitrolltv]

Yes, my grandma uses one, so when she is out, she can go farther, and so she doesn't fall due to unsafe ground.

[Itz_Reese]

I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user!!! I use it because I have a knee amputation and sometimes my prosthetic hurts… the best part about have a prosthetic is taking it off and scaring the tiny children😄

[gillb]

My son has Marfans Syndrome and when he is really struggling we take his empty wheelchair out with us in case he stops being able to walk due to the pain and exhaustion. He prefers to walk and it is better for his health to do so so he may pop in and out it during the period we are out. We get some very strange looks

[DollyHarrison-is]

Thank you for sharing that I'm in a wheelchair myself although I find it difficult to walk I use a walker to help me me

[kathleenking]

This is very important to educate people on and it's crazy how many people will imediately get aggressive if a wheelchair user doesn't always need a wheelchair

[ArsonTheShroom]

thank you for sharing this <3 you're helping so many people learn or feel safer

[ragdoll]

My mom can walk but there's something on her feet which causes her pain all the time. We only realised in the recent years that Ikea had wheelchairs so it was so great that she got to go there and shop without being in pain ❤
