Hudson, an actor, visual artist and songwriter, is both disabled and immunocompromised. The Loop resident was born with spina bifida, a condition where the spinal column doesn’t form properly, but has other things going on with her body to the extent that she calls herself a “bit of a medical mystery” at the moment.

Although she has a lot of the autoimmune issues that run in her family, she doesn’t actually have an autoimmune diagnosis.
