A response to coquidave's video. (And my first conversational video with other Youtubers.)

  • Especially the medical ones, she's always terrified a child will die in her class since she has no clue about medical disabilities...

  • I am not a good person to ask about the school system, seeing as I don't believe the current school system is much of any good for anyone. I technically believe in inclusive education, but I've never seen it exist in practice, I've only seen integrated and segregated education. And I never learned much in school myself, at least nothing of what they were claiming to teach. (Fortunately I learned fine at home or I'd have been screwed.)

  • Just wondering- I made a decision to send my son to a "special" school this fall- he had summer school there and loved it! He hated kindergarten in our local school- would flop down and cry- didn't learn much at all. Do you have strong feelings on this subject? Maybe had you gone to an alternative school- those ***holes- wouldn't have been there to be so evil.

  • I'd rather not have gone to school at all. (Again, I'm a bad person to ask about school, I don't believe in any mass-education system I've seen so far.)

  • I think it's so cool that with computers and the internet, you can communicate and make videos just like anyone else. I never thought of the medium in those terms before.  It makes me appreciate the internet and our little YouTube society even more. It's too bad that older generations didn't have tools like these. Who knows how many geniuses slipped through the cracks because no one could figure out how to communicate with them?

  • I know I'm not the same kind of disabled as you, I am only physically disabled, the politically correctiveness still applies I guess. Just yesterday actually, someone told me that they're boyfriend had told them off for mentioning about them ending up in a wheelchair if they fell down the stairs, because I am myself in a wheelchair. When he told me I laughed, because it was like he was worried I'd be upset, like I didn't know I was in a wheelchair. I think the world is becoming too Pc.

  • wow, humans are fucked up!

  • Thank god for technology....

  • We're a family of four with autism and autism spectrum disorders, and I can't tell you how thankful I am for the videos you've made. So many people think you can judge what is inside by what you see outside, and they're so wrong.

  • silentmiaow, thank you so much for mixing all the humor in with all the ass chewing. Have you ever considered doing standup comedy with an edge? Please keep talking to us, some of us are listening, and learning. Peace and safe travels, Mike Hall

  • Our teachers unions keep the bad teachers... schools cannot get rid of them due to the unions. Many of them have no business around children or animals. Our society is shameful and USA is getting a bad reputation for its schools

  • I think its wonderful she has electronic voice like Stephen Hawking has...

  • I think society needs to look into families of bullies. what family in their right mind would encourage and teach their kids to be bullies. bullies are insecure. I think we need to intercede in homes where bullies are bred and work with the parents who allow or encourage this. when I was 12 I saw a teacher bully two physically handicapped girls in wheelchairs. we could not say a thing without her attacking us too. It hurts me to this day to see her victimize them. I could not stand the teacher

  • Do you think if you had a portable voice synthasizer like Stephen Hawking has when you were in school , it would have been more enjoyable?

  • This video is messed up ... makes me seriously rethink the validity of the Americans with Disabilities Act ...
