Surprising A Newly Blind Subscriber!

"you dont look blind" do you ever just reply "i dont look at all"?

"Ignorance is the biggest problem so we can combat that with education." - Molly Burke

Tas is now a paralympic gold medalist and world record holder!!

I feel so bad for Tas she trained so hard for the parilympics in 2020 and it will not happen.

Can we just talk about how shes like 15/16 and an olympic athlete like thats hella cool

I just imagined being Molly‘s mom, sitting in that chair over there and observing your child in amazement 😭 and listening to all the wisdom and strenght that comes out of your daughter that she painfully gained through all the struggle you helped her go through 😭 just imagine that overwhelming joy 💞

For anyone coming back to this video who didn’t watch the Tokyo Olympics- Tas did end up getting to compete and even set world records :) (And she has a guide dog now !!)

“I don’t shower... I only take baths” that first part had me worried and the second part made me relieved lol

Is it just me or does Tas kind of looks like Hailee Steinfield?

I wish they invited Molly’s mom into the conversation to share her experience about her daughter, so that the other mom could relate and get some advice.

Honestly, Molly has taught me so much about the blind community, and any time I see something about blindness - whether it be accessibility, statistics, or whatever, I always remember the things I’ve learned from her videos and collaborations. I’m so happy that there’s someone to educate people like me about things we otherwise might not learn anything about ❤️

“you don’t look blind?” “oh, well, i wouldn’t know.”

“you don’t look blind” just reply “i don’t see it either”

Sometimes I forget she's Canadian... Then she says "sorry" and I'm reminded lol

I’m autistic. But I don’t “look autistic” or “act autistic”. So people don’t know unless I tell them. When people are told Im autistic before they meet me they treat me very differently. They act like I’m a small child, or like I’m stupid. Autism is a different way of thinking. In me it tends to show up in how I express stress. I have a disconnect between my emotions and my body. So I’m totally fine until my body reaches breaking point and I start shaking and having panic attacks. There’s other stuff too, but I won’t get into everything... Intelligence has nothing to do with autism. It has to do with your ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings. Its a spectrum, so some people have it at such an extreme that they can’t talk or live by themselves, or some are like me, and act just like anyone else. I actually have an IQ of 127. I’m not stupid. People who know me before knowing I’m autistic know that. I once heard some people having a conversation at school. It went something like this: Person 1 - Autism and Down syndrome are the same thing. Person 2 - I don’t think that’s how it works... Person 1 - yeah, they’re just different words for the same thing. They’re both mentally delayed. Me (sitting right next to them) - Down syndrome has to do with an irregular chromosome. Autism is very different. Person 2 - yeah I thought it was something like that... Person 1 - even if they’re caused by different things, they’re both pretty much the same. Their both retarded or whatever. Me - I’m autistic. long silence Me - I’m not kidding... Person 1 and 2 - *turn around and start a new conversation. *

The Mother is sooo amaizing just the part where she said her daughter sais '' you dont understand'' and she replais with ''and I dont '' its amaizing. A lot of people would try to compere it with something else.

I swim with Tas and she is a lovely girl. She’s gone through so much and I’m really happy that she got this experience. 💕

"I've been blind for 11 years and there are still things..." I've been an amputee for 47 years, and there are still things. It never ends.

She's so beautiful she looks like Hailee Steinfeld
