    What a charming guy. I cannot imagine having my brain being just fine while my muscles fail me like that. Bless this man and I hope he has found love. He deserves great happiness.

    I wish there was a surgery available for him to help his speech so he can be completely fulfilled. And I'm so glad he didn't "give up on life". What an inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻

      I agree! (I’m not through the full video yet so done come for me) but I feel like it he was able to move his jaw he would speak perfectly. I hope in the figure there is a way!

    • @TyrannosaurusMarx
      @TyrannosaurusMarx 3 роки тому +11

      I don't think that a surgeon can make his jaw more functional, but fortunately through toils we can barely understand he has worked to make himself more and more articulate over time, and it only takes a bit of effort on our part to concentrate.

    I have cerebral palsy which effects my speech and I can definitely understand where he is coming from. So many people associate my speech problem with my intelligence, very frustrating.

      I recently saw a documentary about a man with CP who was institutionalized years ago when it was still common. He fought to get out and got this amazing IT job and is extremely intellectual- how frustrating to be assumed to have DD/ID when it is so far from the truth!

    What a genuine character! Love the complex personality and sincerity that he radiates. I could seriously spend all day watching the countless amazing interviews from SBSK! I use these videos to help me educate my own children on the importance of better understanding and acceptance of people who may be different from themselves. I will always, always, ALWAYS encourage my children to see past what we see on the surface and focus instead on the individual inside. Say "Hello", get to know them, and spread some kindness. There are so many beautiful souls that are overlooked by society because of things beyond their control. A little bit of time, compassion, patience, and friendship can mean the world to someone else. This planet is undoubtedly a brighter place because of people like Cody who have so much to offer this world! ❤

    I waa so bummed when I couldn't comment on this. As soon aa o saw that the comments were on- I rushed to look up this video!
    First- I want to say ; Hi, Cody!! You are amazing- truly an inspiration. And as handsome as can be! 😘
    After seeing this for the first time about a month ago, I just had to know more about The Amazing Cody Lascala!
    I read a few articles. Including one written by Cody and his mother that pretty much told an in-a-nutshell version of Cody's miraculous journey.
    I am completely in awe and amazed by you, Cody. You are Superman in my eyes.
    I had to let you know.
