Con weekend is magical, chaotic, exciting, exhausting, and sometimes feels like opening a dinosaur park without enough safety protocols... now add fur, paws, tails, badges, crowds, and a body that may have its own plans. This panel is for chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent, mobility-aid-using, heat-sensitive, and low-spoon attendees, as well as allies, handlers, and support furs who want to help make con more accessible. We’ll talk about practical ways to plan ahead, pace yourself, prepare for flare-ups, communicate your needs, and enjoy the weekend in a way that works for your body. We’ll also touch on fursuiting while chronically ill, because life finds a way... and so do spoonies. 🦖🐾 TL;DR: A simple survival guide panel for chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent, heat-sensitive, mobility-aid-using, low-energy attendees, and allys/support furs. Learn how to plan ahead, pack helpful items, take breaks, handle flare-ups or overwhelm, ask for support, and enjoy the convention in a way that works for your body.
