I'm glad you found something all natural that works for you in your condition, I've used it now for almost 35 years, and yes, I do sustain from all other drugs, even alcahol, I hope one day people can see it's a safe alternative to many things, thanks for sharing 🐈🕊️✌️

Been researching into this a lot and just found this video, weed really does seem like a very good natural alternative to a lot of modern medicines, this stuff can help with literally anything, stress, anxiety, depression, adhd, cerebral palsy, tourettes. I really wish more people were better educated on this stuff instead of automatically saying it's bad.

Are you kidding me? A person with a disability smiling is the oldest cliche there is, not empowering or inclusive. If I smile it’s because it comes naturally, not because I should feel pressured to all the time to make able bodied people feel more comfortable around someone in a wheelchair. A person’s disability does NOT define them nor is it the only way to find inclusivity. Simply living one’s life like anyone else by attending school, working, walking your dog, eating out at restaurants, going to the beach etc are all every day things that the more people see a person with a disability doing, the more people with disabilities will be accepted, not feared or pitied, and viewed as living their life like any other. It’s not my job or any other person with a disability’s job to be an advocate by telling every stranger our life story nor will that realistically change anyone’s mind who is bigoted against a person due to disability, sex, race, creed, sexual orientation, etc. Advocacy is joining a group to bringing awareness, doing things to help people get the access to things they need, working with action groups to help change laws or pass new ones that help increase accessibility or fund programs that help employ the disabled, day programs or respite for families and so on. Putting the focus on your story only reaffirms in people’s minds an entitled voyeurism and inspiration porn. Smiling is fine if you’re happy in the moment, but if you want to evoke change then live your life like any other and call out those who think it’s ok to assume it’s all right to approach someone disabled and lie hands on them to ‘cure’ their disability, give them change assuming they’re poor and begging for money,.asking them perverted questions while they’re shopping or at the movies. The early pioneers in the disability movement of the 60’s & 70’s didn’t win the fight for inclusivity in the public schools, better funding for Medicaid coverage of durable medical equipment, funding for in home caregivers, employment opportunities, laws against housing/employment discrimination by smiling. They worked within the system to change laws, pass new ones, fighting against pressures by society to live in group or nursing homes by living independently, becoming a part of local human rights commissions to ensure the disabled community was represented and simply living their lives as everyone else so they were seen as the individuals they are and NOT only as a person in a wheelchair, the guy who walks funny, or labeled as the name of their disability or condition. The ‘poster child’, ‘happy in spite of their condition’, ‘angel sent from God’, ‘brave and inspiring to get up every day’ stereotypes are insulting, limiting and only perpetuate the belief that the disabled are weak, to be pitied, incapable, and a burden. These actions and ideas should stay in the past where they belong.

Wow....someone is in their feels today aren't they? Smh. First of all, as someone with a disability I think Tylia is a bright, beautiful, and intelligent woman with no fear. She encourages people to be the best version of themselves by sharing her own life. As someone who is part of the disability community I think personally that you have a VERY clouded, narrow minded, and completely asinine view of her message and need to be more open to other prospectives. Have a nice evening.

@@lifefromachair7422 I apologize that you were so triggered and failed to critically evaluate the difference between an opinion and attack. Read back through your comment and you will see that is a an example of a personal attack while mine is an opinion. I do not disagree about Tylia, where did I say different? I gave my opinion on the subject she brought forth, I never once said she wasn’t intelligent or committed to her cause. To say my viewpoint is narrow minded and clouded is funny considering you know zero about me. For your information, as a member of the disabled community I was amongst the first to be mainstreamed in public schools and paved the way for Tylia and your generation. When I started first grade myself and two others were the first to attend public school after the law was mandated in 1978. We had teachers, parents and administrators who did not want us there believing we would cause problems and impact the learning of so called ‘normal’ kids. I had a 4th grade teacher who told me I was too mentally challenged to do the math assignment after I simply asked for clarification on a problem. I had children tell me their parents told them not to befriend me because I was not meant to be there, and administrators who tried to keep me from talking part in school activities because they assumed including me would be too much trouble. At my high school there were two floors with no elevator, and despite the ADA having just been passed, the school district fought putting one in claiming it wasn’t architecturally feasible, there was no money. Students who needed math and science classes, which encompassed the 2nd floor, had to fight to have the math and science courses they needed to graduate temporarily moved to the first floor. The school’s original argument was we could transfer to another high school across town that was all flat- nevermind the high school I attended had advanced courses I planned to study in college when the other did not. I was not going to settle for less no matter how big of a menace I was viewed as. When it came time for my senior year in high school, instead of talking to me about my plans after graduating eg. college, working the caseworkers and counselors at my IEP tried to tell me to sign up for SSI and get on a list for a subsidized apartment. When I told them I was attending college and getting my apartment the were stunned not understanding. When they finally accepted the idea they were further amazed I was already accepted, registered for classes and had filled out financial aid forms for the coming up fall when I was set to begin college, especially having done it on my own. I graduated from college in 4 years on the Dean’s list and even that was full of obstacles related to disability. There was a college funded taxi service for women on campus to bring you home at night after studying at the library or evening classes. I was left to find friends to meet and walk home with me because the program had no vans with lifts for someone who used a chair. I had to miss classes at times, then find someone to get notes from and study harder because old elevators in certain buildings were constantly breaking down, and were the only way to get to the classroom other than stairs. In those days, they didn’t make special accommodations all the time. That was the reality of life living in an able bodied world. No matter how much accessibility has increased the biggest obstacle in my opinion, for the disabled in any environment : school, workplace, social settings is attitude. I am grateful my parents raised me no different than my able bodied siblings and stood by me to fight for my right to an equal education. They also taught me independence through being realistic- I had chores I could do, was required to work in the summer between high school years and get to the job myself by figuring out and riding public transportation. I learned very young that the world and people were not going to accommodate me, I had to work within it. That’s life. Perhaps it’s a generational thing but I find it a step back when I see some young people with disabilities on social media preaching inclusivity through sharing your disability with everyone. I don’t want to be known as disabled only, I also don’t feel it’s everyone’s business to know my condition any more than it’s mine to know theirs. Smiling and having people approach you in public does not get you automatically accepted, in fact 99% of people I have talked to about this over the years have told me had I told them my entire medical situation upon first meeting them they would have taken that as too much to process just as it is when people you just met trauma dump all their issues on you in the first 5 min- it’s a sure way to have most people avoid you. Maybe Tylia has had the opposite happen and if so great for her, but I’m not changing my mind. I grew up with all this, I had to fight for things your generation doesn’t even realize. Whether disabled, a person of color, or LGBTQ, the reality is they have always had to accommodate the atmosphere and people around us, and while things are better there will always be some who will never accept or see us as anything but a smiling poster child, as poor & from a broken home, or perverted. There are few telethons left anymore, and the MDA one has been entirely restructured from how it once was, so I think Gen Zers do not realize the impact these had on society and how they viewed, portrayed kids with disabilities. Today there are very few who die so young as was the way of life for those with neuromuscular diseases 30 years ago, thanks to new drugs that are helping to delay the onset of symptoms for years. Young adults I knew in high school who died before the age of 18-20 are in your generation living to be 40-50. My ‘asinine’ viewpoint is based on FACT, HISTORY, REALITY of my generation that you are privileged to avoid in yours. So before raking me over the coals with your ‘feels’, take the time to study, open your mind to a world outside your little bubble. Not everyone is at home naked and angry, some of us choose to get dressed and no matter any barriers we might encounter related to disability, we know we can handle it and be accepted by others for going about our life and all whilst having a frown on our face if we want and not care if some ignorant person has an issue with it. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I spent all my time worrying about whether a bigoted able bodied person feels comfortable around me. I don’t want those kind of people in my life, ableist, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, anti Semitic or homophobic. I’m a woman with a disability amongst many other things, not the other way around. It is just one part of me, never has had to be more or will I allow it be made to be. Oppression is further legitimized by labels, segregation and age old stereotypes. I hope everyone finds their path, mine might not work for them but no one’s should be discounted because of a self righteous attitude of some ‘within the community’ when we all are part of it.

Plus it makes people want to dig deeper into your story. Why is that person smiling? What is that person so happy about? A smile is inviting, inclusive, and contagious. Show that smile, but at least keep 6 feet or more distance as the only thing you want to catch is that smile.

I am honored to have been on that journey with you and to have been part of that foundation you built. I am truly humbled by your praise. Society dose love to label and catacorise people at first glance and doing so they make errors by accident or on purpose caused by ignorance or prejudices. We can either live with the labels given us or we tear those labels off and define our own. Showing the world what we are truly made of.

Totally get that. I had a lot of challenges with my ADD which made it an obstacle to pay attention in class. So much so that I was transferred to a special needs school from elementary to Junior High. It was then I tried harder to pay attention and it was then that everything started to click making learning a little easier. I was mainstreamed for my High School years. It was special education, but at least it was nearby rather then a bus ride away. School wasn't easy, but my hard work made it easier. I even made friends with fellow classmates, in High School, who treated me like a true friend.

Its so crazy that they make it seem like you'll grow out of it but then you realize yourself at a young age that you'll live with it but there's no help for adults. And doctors act like they don't know anything to be able to help without making things worse. Thank you so much for your voice. When I was younger I thought that my muscles would develop more but I realize that they didn't now I have a cane to help with support cuz I don't have help. I have iron deficiency and been experiencing different things that add to my chronic pain with CP
