The Capable Disabled
Приєднався 14 бер 2021
The Capable Disabled channel has been created by people with disabilities for people with disabilities. Our content will be educational at times, hopefully inspirational at times as we interview disabled people with incredible stories, but it will also be personal, an outlet to share our experiences living with severe disabilities. We have a lot of fun ideas for content and hope you will join us on this journey.

This was fantastic! Every new video is better than the last. Keep up the great work :)
Intresting ...✌
Well articulated and thoughtful piece
Great work guys! Another fantastic episode, really enjoyed this one 😁
Great work Reuben 😊❤
Great work Reubo! Love it 😊
Great Reuben! Thankyou for sharing
Great insight into people with a neurological disorder, appreciate the broad perspectives
Very informative video
Thanks for sharing! I have a degenerative neurological condition, and I really wish someone had told me at the beginning "However much you hate your current level of functionality, in the future, you're going to wish you could get back to it, so make the most of it."
Thanks for the comment! I totally agree with that. I think no matter where someone is on their journey of degeneration, that statement of yours holds an important lesson to be learnt in gratitude for what we have, and motivation to do everything we can do today in order to slow our degeneration.
this is so beautifull, i loved waching it so much. and the thouhgt of carting for the disabled even back then is heart warming. i love the tought that you took the time to pauze at this toppic. looking out for more. you have an beautifull voice.
Well done mate!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, understanding, and experience with the world! ✨🌈💕 We have autism and OSDD1B! 🧠

Very informative, and interesting
A fantastic organised and informative video! Glad to see some new content from the Capable Disabled ☺
So wonderful to see you back up and running this channel ❤
As an archaeology student i say you did a great job :)
I'm autistic, and it's sad how people back then were more progressive towards disabled than people nowadays. Eugenics didn't even become a big thing until the 19th century. Society has become more discriminatory despite our otherwise evolved minds, technological advancements and increased scientific understanding. A lot of the advanced technology was made by disabled people, despite society trying to tell us that being anything other than neurotypical is bad and that disabled people could never be happy, disregarding that society would not be as advanced without us. Beethoven, Stephen Hawking, Franklin Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Elon Musk, Helen Keller, Marla Runyan, Satoshi Tajiri, Temple Grandin, Stevie Wonder, Bram Cohen, Bill Gates, Dan Aykroyd, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Williams, etc. are all greatly successful people despite, or even because of their disabilities. Eugenicism would actually be quite detrimental to society as these people had faced significant difficulties, and in trying to overcome them or turn their challenges into advantages, have made great contributions to the world. It's more productive to focus on what a person can do and build on that instead of dwelling on what they can't. Yet, society paints a bleak picture for disabled life, saying that you can never live a happy life, that you're a burden to those around you, and, at worst, you're better off dead, and at the same time they hardly do anything to improve the lives of disabled people. You ask for simple accommodations? Consider yourself fired despite you being fully qualified. We'll blissfully ignore you saying you want to be talked to like a regular person. Oh, and we'll also assume you're unempathetic while being unaware of the irony of said assumption. Wow, that was an entire tangent. Sorry, but the way that modern society handles disability genuinely irks me, especially realizing how far back we've stumbled. As our scientific understanding of disability advantages, it makes you wonder if neurotypical exists by definition. For example, plenty of autistic people have stellar memory and attention to detail, and you could argue that so-called normal people are comparatively disabled in that regard. Another big thing is that, being neurotypical, you don't feel a drive to compensate for your shortcomings, or turn your shortcomings into benefits because you don't have them or aren't aware of them to begin with.
The thing about society's view is it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy especially when a child is exposed to these hurtful attitudes from day one. If everywhere you turn you are ridiculed and abused because you are expected to grow up to be a burden you are going to eventually, after being exposed to this for all your developmental years, want to stay home and collect disability instead of going out and trying to make a living in a world that either ridicules and abuses you or stands there and lets it happen. If that makes sense.

Thanks for the feedback, you did great! 👍💕
Well done Reubs, huge!!!!
Just donated. Go for it Ruben! Paul Jordaans, the Netherlands
Thank you Paul 😊
This presentation was good. I was able to understand you clearly while I was driving and the examples you selected were interesting. Your example of the woman with scoliosis was quite interesting to me, having family with it today and understanding their struggles.
Thank you for this amazing video. I have learned so much from your work here and have already ordered a copy of Disability in Antiquity. I can’t wait to learn more about this very interesting and important subject.
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad that you enjoyed it, and I hope that you have found Disability in Antiquity as interesting as I did!
This was brilliant!
I need the next episode please! 🥰
Good research and very well presented, thanks. Much needed documentary of this subject. Looking forward to the next part. 🙏
Well done Reuben. You summed it up perfectly.
Great info! I'd be really interested in hearing more about your personal experience. Did you notice that you felt different after taking any of these? Did you get any significant blood test results?
thanks for the question! :) So with the vitamins, i found that the magnesium had the most noticeable effect with a lessening in muscle and joint soreness, while the other vitamins do help with a slowing in the rate of degeneration and overall quality of life but just not as noticeably. As for the supplements, exercise while using beta alanine, caffeine and creatine is incredible in its ability to increase your output while L-carnitine isn't as instantly noticeable but definitely still effective. the blood tests are a really great tool for adjusting your daily intake of different vitamins as RDI's (recommended daily intake) are designed for healthy adults and so many NMD's come with deficiencies in various vitamins.
You're very brave Reuben, and thanks for sharing your story.
Hey Reuben. Listening to your story I now understand your diagnosis. Great that you step up to be independent. And you are a good poker player. Meeting you at the poker games at gosford with my daughter lily. Hope to see you at the tables again. Cheers vee
Thanks Vee :)
