thank you for posting this. My nephew has DMD, and he is coming to the age where he sees that he is different from the other kids, and my sister used the beginning part of the video to explain the condition to him.

there is alot of videos explaining dmd but nothing for helping the carriers. I myself am a carrier of dmd and my first born son was diagnosed at 2 years of age, at age 9 (2018) he has lost the ability to walk and has to use a wheel chair full time. ther is little to no support or info for carriers

All right a lot of the stuff is not true I have DMD and a lot of it is not like this
