DISABILITY | How You See Me

"Society doesn't correlate disability with being attractive... but we CAN be stylish, gorgeous, stunning, and FABULOUS." For those with disability, what do you feel makes you a FABULOUS person? How do you think people see you as someone with a disability?

It would have been nice to see some of the unseen disabilities represented in this video as well. Not all disabilities are visible and people need to be aware of that as well.

I have a cousin who is both mentally and physically disabled, but he's one of the happiest people I know. I just smile everytime I'm near him.

If only the world would take this approach with everyone in life, less judgement, more love. ♡

This video brought me to tears because most people in this world do like to belittle people with disabilities, I know this because ever since i was a little child all I've known was being in a wheelchair i connected with the young African American women who has spina bifida because was also born with that condition and i get a lot of comments and stares from people in public because of my disability and I am not only proud that the disabled community is being ( wouldn't say praised but recognized ) as "beautiful"  but more and more people can learn to realize that people with disabilities are human just like everyone else in this world, from the bottom of my heart SoulPancake Thank You so very much for this video.

I loved this. I have a learning disability. It has challenged me but not defined who I am.

My story begins with me born with Asperger's syndrome and handicap, I've had this condition since I was a 👶 my 👵 raised me in Indiana! I wasn't gonna let anything stop me from reaching my potential in the 🌎 but sometimes I don't usually talk about why I was born this way or how people keep asking me about my 🤚🏿 it doesn't bother me at all, I'm right handed but I can't write or shoot whenever I play 🏀 cause it never insults my intelligence of being a man that I'm today. I'm blessed and I tell God thanks 🙏 for believing in me and never give up my hopes and dreams! I also have trouble stuttering because sometimes I have speaking clearly and autism even it effects me as well, I always say " I have a disability" " Do I have what it takes to achieve my destiny" it something that I can do for myself and for my family too. My message for disabled people who are living with condition: Do your best and live your life like God wants you too and stay focused on your journey to become whatever you want to be in life, stay humble and strong 💪 for your friends and family.

As a Special Educator, this video gives me life.

[irisscheer-fhns]

I really liked how you show some good sides of disabilities and not talk about like always how disability can be a huge struggle every day

[AnastasiaSaenz]

It would have been nice to see people with invincible disabilities such as Autism/Asperger's syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia, A.D.H.D., P.T.S.D. - just to name some, represent people with disabilities, just to hear their takes on this...

[napalmdreams]

I'd love to see a video on people with depression

[jacehi]

I’m so grateful for this kind of videos, how it gives a voice to those who feel unseen. That’s the side of internet and social media I want to be in, we’re all just fabulous human beings. ❤

[atiyahbrown]

This was motivational. Some people don’t understand, they’ll make fun and call you slow or get others to hate you for no reason. I wish I didn’t struggle so my with being different

[Jaimi_Crystal]

This was a good video to see - I, like one of the women in this video, also have Spina Bifida. Sometimes it's nice to hear positive things from people who actually know what its like to be in a wheelchair. For all the people moaning that this is only representing physical disability.. this series is called "How You SEE me" Because living with a physical disability, you get all sorts of hate and stares and unwelcome comments that you have to deal with because people can SEE YOU! You can't SEE non-physical disabilities so stop complaining! although a video about the unseen disabilities would be nice.

As a person with disability I want to say that this kind of videos are a beautification of reality.
In real life "normal" people, dislike "disable" people.
Some of them are even envious of then because of the benefits they received.
They are jealous of the "different/special treatment" towards people with "disabilities".
Many of those "normal" people, are even mocking the problems disabled people face.
They also compare their lives with those of people with health issues (because this is what disability really is) and they even feel under - privileged while they have the biggest privilege ever.
HEALTH!
So I have come to a conclusion.
That these "normal" people, are not normal at all and I am really happy I'm not one of them.
Thank God, I'm not normal.

[mixedchick]

All of these people are awesome, beautiful, and amazing! I love how that lady at the end busted out dancing! She got those awesome moves!

[redrumssam]

It just warms my heart to see that these people are just so happy. I love it.
