🌟 Who I Am

Hi, I’m Laura, also known online as GlitchyButCute. I’m a disabled and neurodivergent content creator, accessibility advocate, and cosy gamer based in the UK.

In early 2024, I had a stroke that changed pretty much everything. I now live with right-sided weakness, seizures, cognitive glitches, speech difficulties, and chronic fatigue. I use a powerchair (and sometimes a rollator), rely heavily on assistive tech, and I’m audhd (autistic + ADHD), queer, and a devoted fan of pink sparkly chaos.

Hence the name.

I believe a glitch isn’t the same as being broken. It’s just a different way of running.

💬 What I Talk About

GlitchyButCute is where the messy, joyful, and very real sides of disabled life live. I create blogs, vlogs, and social content covering:

  • Life after stroke: recovery, seizures, mobility, and identity
  • Benefits, work, and care systems: breaking down PIP, LCWRA, and staying employed with access needs
  • Smart home tech for spoonies: using automation to stay independent and safe
  • Cosy games, nostalgia, and joy: accessible gaming, Funko Pops, 90s cartoons, and general delight
  • Disability and neurodivergence advocacy: speaking up, pushing for inclusion, and making space for others to do the same

Everything I make is rooted in lived experience, honesty, and a healthy dose of glitter.

🧷 Advocacy & Inclusion Work

Before being made redundant, I chaired my workplace’s neurodiversity employee network and played a key role in the disability network too. That hands-on advocacy work, combined with my own lived experience, informs everything I do around accessibility, inclusive design, and better support for disabled and neurodivergent people.

I offer:

  • Talks and panels: disability, stroke recovery, neurodivergence, and accessible tech
  • Workshops and consulting: helping brands and orgs improve accessibility and inclusion practices
  • Lived experience insight: for product design, service feedback, campaigns, and more

If your work could benefit from an accessibility-first lens, I’d love to hear from you.

🤝 Want to Work With Me?

I’m open to brand partnerships, reviews, speaking opportunities, and collaborations that actually align with accessibility, authenticity, and soft chaos. If you’re a company that wants to do better (or just do something cute and inclusive), let’s chat.
