Pressing Buttons (Short Film) | Disability Goes Deeper than What You See

Wow! Thank you Sarah Todd for sharing your story. You are an inspiration. I know living with disabilities can be a challenge, specially with hidden disability. I remember a quote by Stephen Hawkins “Concentrate on the abilities your disability doesn't hinder and don't dwell on the things it interferes with. Be disabled physically, not in spirit” My 15 year son has been diagnosed with AFM 4 months ago and his been in ICU for 3 months. A month ago his been moved into a ward. The past 4 months have been really tough and challenging for us all, also being disabled myself. We are at the beginning of a very long journey. For his rehab we have been in a constant battle with the Neurologist and medics here in the UK as they don't know much about this condition.

This video was beautifully done! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, as a physically disabled person …. I’m so glad you talked about some of my own feelings and thoughts 😢😊

Hi, sweet Sarah. What an exceptional, amazing, dynamic, lovely young lady you have grown into ☀️☀️☀️😘

Thank you for this

Hello Sarah Todd! I just discovered your channel today. I watched this video and the one about "comments held for review". I also subscribed, and look forward to new videos and working my way through all of your videos eventually. Regarding weird comments, I personally know a pilot who gets comments like: "you are not really a pilot because .......". Cheers from Florida USA!

This video was great and your message is awesome. As a fellow young woman in her 20s with a physical disability that is usually visible but can sometimes go unnoticed, I can relate to things you said. Children are resilient and it’s a good thing to because I think that’s one of the best things about disability that it fosters resilience and creativity. But as you mentioned it can also lead to not acknowledging or looking into this source/full extent of frustrations that being disabled in a society that so often has no idea what the experience actually is like.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am an able-bodied individual, but I like learning about these disability lived-experiences. I’ve been following your journey for a while and can’t wait to see what’s next for you. This was so beautifully documented, well done!

Thank you, Sarah Todd. It's good to see and hear you again. Have you graduated? Are you ready to take on the world? Awesome.

I'm disabled myself only I am autistic, and a lot of people see it as a bad thing and something to be afraid. They don't see the person that you are inside when you are disabled, this video was really uplifting Sarah I look up to you and I hope one day to meet you. You are an inspiration.

"Struggling doesn't mean that you don't have your life figured out. It's something you're working with, that you can embrace and run with." Working with you, ST, and the team on this was such a pleasure. Getting a chance to help tell your story was an honor and getting a glimpse into the world you navigate daily was eye-opening for me on a very personal level. Hoping this film will help others like me become more aware of the many nuances of disability and resonate with all audiences. 🎉

I admire you so much Sarah! You give my daughter & myself as her mother so much hope & inspiration! ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this. I so enjoy your account, and continuing to learn from you.

Love this ST

Ah yes my cat is waiting for the premiere to start
