Losing Touch, Finding Intimacy

Elizabeth Jameson

We met Elizabeth Jameson a couple of years ago at the Abilities Expo in San Jose and were struck by her drive and determination. She has Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the effect of it basically mimic what a high-level quadriplegic is left with. Nevertheless, Elizabeth is a fine artist and writer and she was recently published in the New York Times with an article focusing on how she defies all odds despite the severity of her disease — and its physical effect — to rediscover intimacy without touch.
