Shane Burcaw (he/him) is the author of several award-winning books about disability. He is the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.

Hannah Burcaw (she/her) graduated from Carleton College, where she studied Sociology and Anthropology. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog, which has over 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. Hannah has spoken at prestigious universities and Fortune 500 companies alike about the realities of ableism. On her popular Instagram account, she advocates for acceptance of all people and works to improve the way society thinks about disability.

Shane and Hannah have been together for over four years. They got married in September of 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic in their backyard, with their officiant conducting the ceremony via Zoom. Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.

I woke up after major surgery to feel and see my partner right there, hugging me gently. It was the most loved I've ever felt .

[bellarogue]

The moment when shane was talking about when they were falling in love, how Hannah was looking at him is pure love. It was so honest and full. Love you guys.

[enemigodenadie]

In a sexualized society, many of us have ceased to believe real love is still possible. You guys are beyond amazing

I don't know what it is but every time Hannah laughs and lovingly looks at Shane is just so real and such a sweet glance. You just know it's sincere.

This couple has no idea they are my pretend best friends!! I wanna hang with them so much. I never watch a video and don’t crack up at something one of them say

[LuckyLarry]

Y’all are just an old married couple now…it is the sweetest phase that you experience in marriage. Just comfy, predictable, safe, wonderful . Some people may regard it as mundane and boring but I see it as real and genuine.

Shane could recall exact memories of his feelings towards Hannah, so quickly and detailed. He is fully present and there for her, and their relationship. A true gentleman.

The way Hannah smiles at Shane...How could anyone ever doubt their love? ❤️

Hannah is one of the most naturally gorgeous woman I have ever met, her smile is beyond perfect

Thank you for sharing this and dispelling the idea that disabled people are not capable of physical intimacy. I have muscular dystrophy and while it is not anywhere near what Shane is going through, I can understand it. I have weakness in my legs and ankles and my feet are starting to be affected by it. I have had numerous people ask me if I'm capable of sex. I can understand a partner who is just getting to know me asking me that but it's pretty creepy when people out in public ask me this. I'm sorry that you've had to face such things as that, I know how it feels. Thank you for helping to dispel the myths and stigma surrounding disability. Also, I like where you said if anyone is uncomfortable with the subject matter, just don't watch. That's exactly it. I wish more people would learn that you can see something that you disagree with and not comment on it. Thank you for making your channel. I hope you guys are very happy for many, many years.

You two are amazing people. I dont know how you showed up on my playlist but now I don't know how I didnt find you sooner. I bet a lot of people watch your videos wish they could have had a love like yours. It is truly remarkable and real.

[yomama]

You two are so wholesome and honest I feel very comfortable watching your content and I look forward to your next video.

[LovesDarkBlue]

How are y’all so compatible?! Both of you just play off of each other so well, so effortlessly. It’s great to watch you just don’t see a love like this anymore with others 😭

[lisaduncan]

How could anyone think that Hannah is just your caretaker and y’all are not a couple in love? It’s so obvious and wonderful. Plus, you are both so funny and cute with each other.

[mswifeycatlady]

There is nothing like being next to the person who seems to be made for you.
It’s amazing 😍
You’re both such beautiful people xx

[jenniferbriggs]

Don’t you worry, we are both 51 and the kisses and cuddling are still there in full force. It doesn’t have to go away when you’re 50 😂😍

[martitasez]

Great answers Shane! Love Hannah's expression when Shane said he had a very specific answer. You both are really in tune to the others needs. That's the sign of a strong, healthy relationship ❤

[michaelhaskins]

You guys are simply the best example of unconditional love I have ever experienced. You take love to a whole new level and meaning and place it where it should be.Both of you are unconditionally beautiful humans. I am so blessed that you were in my feed today. I want to be like both of you when I grow up (I'll be 80 on 3/3). Lol

[kippytx]

When I read title, I thought that we had no right to know such things. But honestly your answers and your obvious love for each other was heartwarming.

[thepeacechannel]

Your love is so incredible. I honestly had tears at the end. The truest love I have ever seen.
