This symposium seeks current and/or aspiring chemists to consider participating in this unique autoethnographic session. Presentations should document how chemists with various disabilities perform their jobs in the chemistry field. Describe the work arounds and accommodations that you have been provided to illustrate your success in chemistry. Presenters may be invited to contribute to a digital version of the 1996 ACS publication titled, “Working Chemist’s with disabilities.” It is the expectation of the organizers that the presentations paint a picture of how chemists with disabilities are overcoming challenges and accomplishing success in the chemistry field.
