Like many others, whether just in an exacerbation or full-time, I have profound difficulty using my fingers. I want to share some tools that help me immensely in daily living and spare me a lot of humiliation, frustration and meltdowns.
First, the Pocket Dresser for buttons, zippers, laces, etc.:

And the Knork, not quite knife, not quite fork:

All of these tools have made life a little better for me and I recommend them to anyone who clings to independence with the same determination.
Please feel free to offer other useful tools to the list!
