About Me.
I'm Zara Beth (she/her), a content creator, author, musician and disability advocate from the UK. I share my life as a neurodivergent person, navigating neurological conditions & chronic illness ✨
My Story
I grew up fairly "normal" until my health worsened in high school. I spent years struggling with mental health and being bullied. Around age 15, my tics deteriorated and I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. I also developed a condition called Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) which causes lots of neurological symptoms like seizures, tremors, weakness, dystonia and more.
Over the years, I've adapted and learned to live with my conditions despite the challenges they bring - I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user, which enables me to travel the world and get outside even with my health conditions!
I've always loved art, music and writing, and I have a book about my health journey publishing 2025!
I have many other hobbies like learning languages on Duolingo, reading, watching Disney movies, gaming, photography, scrapbooking & so much more!
My friends know me as a creative, book-loving nerd who's in bed by 9pm with a cup of tea and my cat. But, I also love travelling, attending events, visiting online friends, filming content, and sharing about my different conditions through my videos 💛
Advocacy
I specialise in posting content for mental health, neurodiversity and disability awareness. I document my life navigating the world as an autistic person with a chronic illness, creating videos about my day and documenting the ups and downs of my symptoms, whilst also showcasing my hobbies 🌟
