Life With a Unique Brain (Missing the Part that Connects the Hemispheres)

Ashleigh was born without a part of the brain that connects the two hemispheres, a condition known as agenesis of the corpus callosum.
When she was young it was believed she would never walk or talk. Now 17, Ashleigh’s family is grateful that she is rarely quiet.

I like how Chris really meets people where they're at. When he realizes some questions might be too complex ("Can you say that again I can't hear you?") he rephrases in a more simple way. If that doesn't work he doesn't push it and make her feel bad, he just goes with what she's interested in. I've noticed this in other interviews too. He may go in with a set of questions in mind but he is flexible and lets the interviewee lead. Truly living in the moment. Ashleigh was a joy!! Thanks for sharing her light and spirit with the world :)

I hope he realizes how much his channel has helped others. He's a remarkably, special kind of guy💕

This has to be one of the biggest connections Chris has had with a friend. Forever the Blue Two 💙💙

This is one of my favorite interviews on the channel. Ashleigh's energy is infectious. Stinky feet!

I have this condition, too! I’m glad to see someone else like me in the world.

Chris is totally a gift to these families, and not only because he gives them a well deserved ability to be seen and heard (which he does better than anyone i can think of), but also because he brings so much joy to the days of the people he interviews. He makes them feel liked and appreciated, and supported and valued by people other than their amazing family members!

This video really did show me how much we rely on our brain to communicate with itself!

She's a trippy young girl. The part of her brain that connects happiness is very strong. ❤❤❤❤

Her smile and laugh are contagious. I can tell she's a fun person to be around. OMG I'd LOVE to be her friend. Her attitude is the kind I'd love to spend my time around.

Ashley put a smile on my face and I feel better having met her. Just what her father wanted.

Hey Ashleigh! I also have ACC, and am missing most of my CC. It’s difficult, but we can live life, no matter what it throws at us! I’m in your corner. Great job to Ashleigh’s family, keep being awesome, all of you!!❤❤❤

My parents were told some statements about capabilities when I was little (but less impactful for sure except that I may not survive a week then a month). My amazing Mom ignored all of it. I'm 53. Ashley is amazing!
