Learning to Shine Despite My Disability

[erdmancrew]

As someone who has a rare form of MD and being a women I have to say we do have a tendency from preventing our selfs from moving forward in life sometimes.. We are very guarded and I personally hate depending on someone to open a can or open a bottle top since my MD affects every muscle in my body specially hands, fingers, ankles, knees, and hips, I work 3 times as hard to stay out of a wheel chair. GREAT VIDEO

@ericajo114ablenot your saying not one of those kids are mentally retarded, in its basic definition? Not the insulting term, but the term that literally describes slowness in the brain.

and you say "they cant walk, but they cant use their brains." did you mean "They can"? cause if not, you're actually saying im right.

you seem to having taking offensive as you keep saying my friends. Retarded has a real definition. People who make it out differently then what it is, is not my fault. :P

What's wrong with her? she looks pretty damn good to me.

[kingofallwhites]

You are HOT!!! I am jealous that I didn't get to carry you up there!

[kingofallwhites]

@bananito4 You retard who said anything about taking advantage of her? Get your sick twisted mind out of the gutter and wash you mouth with soap. All I said was that I wanted to carry her up the castle because she is so pretty!

[ueb1215]

@kingofallwhites you stupid maniac! i cant wait to see you in wheelchair too

[kingofallwhites]

@ueb1215 What is wrong with you people? I was commenting on how sexy she is in spite of her disability. A person in a wheelchair does not want to be completely discounted by society as asexual just because of their situation. I am not some devotee or something that goes around looking for amputees or something- I just was blown away by her beauty.

Great video and you are amazing. I am a high school teacher who works with students and adults with all types of abilities. Over the past several years I have worked to develop a device to help individuals stay independent. Last month Fox News in California did a story about David, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and my device the desktop desk. The story is on YouTube, desktop desk and David. The Fox story is pretty cool.
