A lot of things feel inaccessibile simply because of how long they take me to do. Even if it’s possible for me to do something, therefore the task is accessible, sometimes the amount of time (and energy) something takes make me not want to do it that often.

It just took 40mins for me to pick the washing basket and the washing up off the floor. It would have probably taken my sister a minute and a lot less energy.

You see this is why I sometimes ask for help with things I can do.

It might seem lazy to people who don’t know, and for a while I felt like I was being lazy in doing it. But really it is energy and time saving to get help.

So what does this have to do with accessibility?

It’s hard to determine whether a task is accessible sometimes. If I know I can do it, but I choose not to, sometimes I feel bad about it.

But in reality when I need help the task is not accessible to me and when I don’t need help the task is accessible to me.

Therefore the accessibility of a task can change, dependent on many different things, not least my energy. But also the tools I have available to help me.
