A few Controversial questions for you. Plus you can watch me cook from my wheelchair in my wheelchair accessible kitchen as I answer some juicy question.

Slide one reads: What is ablism? Ableism is discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities or who are perceived to be disabled. Ableism characterizes people as defined by their disabilities and inferior to the non-disabled.
Slide two reads: Four examples of ablism. Internal, Casual, Inter
After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im showing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. As a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic I hope that I can help you. The wheelsnoheels message is “so no one has to feel alone.”
I have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.
If you feel I have given you value today consider buying me a ko-fi, just think of it as a tip.

I find that in terms of being cured it's like...I want a cure for my chronic illness symptoms, ie, I would like to be able to work my dream job, I would like to do the exercise I used to enjoy, I'd like to not be in pain all the time etc...but people assume I want a cure so I can walk again. Like, no, walking is the least of my worries. I don't want to be cured so I can walk, I'd like to be cured so I can do things I enjoy and not suffer for it.

I definitely think whether someone might want a cure can depend upon the disability. I'm autistic and I also have a chronic illness, and I wouldn't mind the chronic illness being cured because it causes me so much pain and fatigue, but I DONT want my autism to be cured because it's part of my identity and how I percieve and navigate the world, I have no idea what it's like to not be autistic and I'm fine with the way I am even if it may be harder in some ways. So I think not only does 'wanting or not wanting a cure' depend on the disabled person, it also depends on the disability. A helpful prompt I heard once was, "if the disabled person was alone in their own space doing their own thing [ie not effected by ableism or inaccessibility] would the disability still bother them?" Not a hard and fast rule of course, but my pain would still bother me when I'm alone in my own space, while my autism likely wouldn't.

Years ago I used to work for a major supermarket chain. Back then I was still able to walk with crutches. But I couldn't manage stairs, and our store was on the first floor. Someone accidentally set fire to the toaster in the staff room, so we had to evacuate the shop until the fire brigade came. Guess who had to wait at the top of the escalator? But the upside is, I got carried down the stairs by two firemen.

Evacuation story: Downtown Washington, DC on 9/11/01. My wife and I worked in the same building; she’s the wheelchair user (power). Absolute chaos; the only evacuation plan involved vacating the building in case of fire, not evacuating the city. I made it down to our van in the parking garage fairly quickly, but I couldn’t get hold of her to tell her where I was for at least an hour because the cellular circuits were either overloaded or jammed citywide by the military. I finally drove out of the garage and picked her up in the street. Then we sat in absolute gridlock in front of the Capitol building while Flight 93 was still airborne. We finally found our way out of the city and home after more hours than I care to count. Did I mention that it was our daughter’s first week of kindergarten, and my wife was 4 months pregnant with our son? Yeah…

I also plan how to get out if there was an emergency. As a wheelchair user I think it's important to have a plan. Years ago I worked in a multistory building on an upper floor and my friends were concerned about how I would get out in case of a fire. They came up with a plan and met with all these strong able-bodied guys. Then they drew a stick figure of a woman in a wheelchair with flames and then put the universal symbol for "no" (circle with diagonal line through it) and these were placed in every volunteers cube so no matter where I was would know who was willing to carry me out of the building. They called themselves the "Don't Let Barbara Burn Committee". It was so thoughtful and kind. They wanted me to teach them all the best way to carry me, etc. They were truly wonderful guys.

Four years ago both of my hips were shot. I had to use a cane. That opened my eyes to how difficult it can be being disabled. Even crossing the street I was always afraid of getting hit because not everyone is patient. And there was at least one close call. I’ve never forgotten that experience & am more aware now. Especially since not every place is accessible even if it’s a newer building.

Their (the powers that be) idea of "accessible" is a joke. I wish they'd hire disabled people with varying disabilities to make sure that buildings are truly accessible. The restrooms are the worst to get into with their heavy doors. I've learned to ask an employee to, "please hold the door open until I get in and please open it when I am trying to get out". I am neither strong enough, nor do I have three arms to open the doors and wheel myself out at the same time.

I went to the theatre with my mum a few months ago. The show had been postponed for a couple of years due to the pandemic and at the time we bought the tickets my mum had some health and mobility issues, but nothing that most people would notice. However, by the time we actually got to go to the show she was using a stick to walk a lot of the time and struggling with lots of steps (which shouldn't be relevant, but will be later). Our seats were in the front row of the upper circle, so once we were upstairs it was fairly level. The theatre had a functioning lift and accessible toilets on every floor so we didn't have any issues beyond needing to move for people who needed to get in and out of the row (especially the impatient ones!). At the end of the show, we decided to let everyone else go first to make it easier for mum to get out of the theatre. However, after about half of the audience had left the auditorium there was an announcement that everyone needed to evacuate the theatre immediately with no real explanation. So we gathered our things and started to make our way out. Then an usher appeared and tried to hurry us out, even after mum had explained that she couldn't move quickly. There were about 3 steps up to the doors, so mum was taking her time (hampered by the fact the usher had put her fluorescent jacket on the handrail). This continued as we got to the top of the stairs with more and more staff members flapping about how to get mum down the stairs, with no clue what to do (there were still lots of people on the stairs at this point so no rush really). Eventually someone piped up that they had an evac chair, but by this point mum didn't feel confident in their ability to use it safely so declined. Once the stairs had cleared a little, I started to help mum down the stairs with the people in hi-vis still flapping around us. Each floor we got to we collected more and more concerned hi-vis people, who to be frank made the situation more dangerous. The first incident was someone who, whilst I was trying to concentrate on helping mum, asked me where we were sitting and replied with "maybe you should think about that next time". I was genuinely lost for words. Apart from the fact that mum could walk perfectly fine when we booked the tickets, it wasn't our fault that they had no real evacuation plan for disabled customers. The next unhelpful person was someone who as soon as a hint of smoke started to appear kept repeating a mantra of "This is serious, we need to hurry!", as if we were purposely taking our time. Then, there was the member of our hi-vis escort who thought they'd be "helpful" by grabbing mum's arm and nearly toppling her down the stairs. To top things off, the second mum's foot touched the ground floor they all scarpered and only the security guard stayed to make sure we got out safely. By the time we got outside, there was no-one in sight whatsoever! Luckily there were some decorative rocks outside that mum could sit on to recover. The whole evacuation was like a health and safety video where people have to spot all the mistakes, they wouldn't even let us use the emergency exit so everyone had to use one staircase! So, if you have a disability (or even might break your foot just before a show and need crutches) then avoid Aylesbury Theatre. We think the emergency may have been water from the show getting into the electrics, but it obviously wasn't major as there weren't any emergency services around. Even when we went in the pub over the road to use their loo (the pub was very accessible by the way, they even had a wheelchair ramp inside) nobody like the fire brigade had turned up.

If I could, I would take cure for my disability. The sweet, sweet vision of not feeling pain everyday.. I have double scoliosis, ostheophytes, uneven amount of ribs, discs protrusion, chronic migraines, bipolar disorder (and recently hallucinations, yay) and GAD. So a mix of every disorder that my family had. But I understand the fact that you think you could lose your identity. I also don't know any other life. Maybe life on heavy painkillers, but my psychiatrist doesn't allow me to take them anymore, since it messes up with my other meds. About the most controversial one, before I was vegetarian I loved pineapple on pizza, but now I don't see a point 😂

I would take a cure in a heart beat. I hate not being able to do things for myself. Perhaps I would feel differently if I was in a more suitable property with better access and proper adaptions for my various issues instead of reliant on a stranger coming in every day to do things for me. I hate that. The pain sucks too, and paying a small fortune for a car I barely use because I can't get out to it easily but couldn't do anything at all outside without it. I don't see being disabled (or autistic) as part of my identity and I have no interest in activism, I just want to be independent again. I never needed anything from anyone and now I can't do anything. It's miserable. I'm sure if I had been disabled from childhood I would feel differently, but I was able bodied until 30 so it's been very difficult to accept, and there is so little help out there for disabled people.

I picked up the bass again in January this year after 7 years of not playing after my SCI, it helped improve my hand function massively. You'd be surprised what you still know and how quick some things come back once you start playing again. Other things have to be re-learned though. Pineapple on a pizza?

I was born with spina bifida at 15 I lost my left eye. I wouldn't change a thing. the only thing I would change is in the last few months I have gotten to where it is too painful to walk even with a walking aid. I now find myself in the last week in a wheelchair. Not sure if I would change that. I will admit being in a chair right now is the hardest thing I have ever done so many things I never thought about, on how hard it would be to get around. I am not sad about being in a wheelchair to me it is a new adventure in life. I can't change it so why cry about it. I do have my bad days. But I have followed this rule in my life “Improvise, adapt, overcome”

Growing up I was always ask by other children and teens if I would have a cure for my autism. I would always say no as it is part of who I am. As I have grown older I have developed/ diagnosed more disabilities some that make my life harder ( fibromyalgia and cronic fatigue) as they make it hard to mange my other disabilities. The only thing I would what to change is having more energy and less pain.

😂😂😂 Pineapple on Pizza my son in law turns green my face lights up. As for Pineapple on Burger I love it. I hate Buger Buns so use lettuce and Pineapple to top and bottom of Burger instead awesomeness. Getting your head round using wheelchair is not losing independence but gaining it is hard to get your head round but once you have life starts in a new way. I use that saying about no one cares what your doing, wearing, look like they are way to busy worrying about themselves and what folk think or attached to phone. The 1 thing I would want more of is well maintained dropped kerbs with double yellow lines so offence to park on them. My confidence has been shattered when poorly maintained kerb crumbled in winter and I fell in wheelchair attache8by seat belt face down with power chair still attached into road did cars stop nope however a group of young teenagers boys and girls ran over stood in road stopped traffic, helped me up and made sure I was OK and offered md a coffee with them.... Needless to say they got a huge TQ and a little something to treat themselves

To much in this video to comment on. But having been disabled at the age 50, I know what it was like to not be disabled. So yes, I would be ecstatic to be rid of my paraplegia and back to what I was like before my accident. I truly think you would also be ecstatic once you found the possibilities without your disability.

I'd love a cure. Yeah, disability has become a big part of my life and I have pride in my disabled identity but I'm suffering and lost my life. I had plans, ideas, etc. That are no longer possible due to illness. Not only that, disability is expensive. Meds, mobility aids, etc. I'm proud of being disabled but I'm suffering and if I had a choice, I'd choose not to suffer.

I have a question but do not want to be obtrusive so please do not answer if it is. I was wondering if people assume you can not be sexually active or fulfilled because your in a wheelchair?How do some people react say if you went to buy lingerie or sexy dress. I know the answer but feel it's a important question so many non informed people could be informed better! I loved both vlogs as you cooked and talked. Your a beautiful woman and I love your dedication to your channel. The love Daisy shows you thru her service and dedication to helping her mum. She is a one in a billion, you are so very blessed. I hope this is not too obtrusive but sometimes it takes hard questions to educate others.

I like how your kitchen is set up so you are able to get so close to the hob while facing it straight on! I really do enjoy your videos, they really do shine a light of hope. I would love to see a video on ableism and possibly polite yet clear ways of standing up for our rights. Sometimes I just don't have the energy/capacity to fight for myself. Like when I am in so much pain and struggling to just breathe, I must choose breathing instead if literally wasting my breath explaining myself to someone. Now about adding pineapple to a burger, if I could grill the pineapple, I think it would be reasonable to give it a try on my black bean burger.

Interesting mention of ableism. I've dealt with HEDS for about 46 years in terms of musculoskeletal issues, but realised it started earlier with other things like migraine. I knew I would be discriminated against if I let on I had health issues so did my best to hide them. Most people did not realise I was ill. Now with braces and canes etc it is more obvious and my invisible issues are more visible and I've experienced open hostile ableism in a few forms and now ageism as well from some ignorant b..ds. I also endured sexism in some employment situations as have a lot of women. But only heard about ableism from your videos. But now I've decided on a strategy of "calling out" bad behaviour, then walking away and avoidance. Weirdly, it has mostly occurred when I'm simply grocery shopping. Go figure. Or getting onto buses during Covid and not being able to use the "accessible door", but they let people with prams use it!!

I wonder what happened?, I bet it was painful, I bet it is painful, I bet it is hard, How do they [insert many things here], those types of things. But think about it ... those are the thoughts that give rise to empathy. Shrug ... don't know if that helps anyone .... just my two cents. I would also note that because of back troubles I am now considered disabled ... so now I'm on the other side of that equation.

You didn't know that ableism was a thing until 3-4 years ago? I need to move to your country. I was born deaf but learned very quickly about ableism as a very small child. I was bullied and mocked for my voice (I was forced to learn how to speak instead of learning ASL), adults would chastise me, teachers would constantly berate me and tell me to pay attention (I was. I couldn't hear them), then they would call me a liar for saying I was, I was always gaslighted, etc. I grew up thinking I was stupid and believing I would never amount to anything in my life because I was worthless because of my disability (Had a teacher legit tell me this to my face. Then lied when my mom confronted her about it.). It took me years after graduating high school (which was something people always told me I would never be able to do) to finally get self-esteem and learn my worth and overcome so many things. So far now in life, I have done almost everything people told me I would never be able to do. My next goal is graduating from college. Yes, I have people tell me to drop out because it's too hard for me and I won't be able to get a job anyways because of my disability. I have two classes left and I am about to graduate very soon. Thank you for saying that your disability is who you are and is your identity. My sister who is nondisabled does not understand. She doesn't believe I'm deaf. She says I'm making my hearing loss worse than it is, does not believe and thinks I shouldn't use my deafness as my identity, does not believe I can be culturally deaf, and says I need to stop attacking the family (when I told her it would mean the world to me if my family would learn ASL to communicate with me), and also says I need to stop getting offensive (whenever I get frustrated with the constant ableism I deal with every day). I've never really had the best relationship with her, but we used to have a sisterly bond. When she got pregnant with her first kid, it was like a switch went off and I barely know who she is anymore. She's more aggressive and dominating. I have just learned to back off, especially upon discovering that she denies what literally makes me, me. Pineapple on pizza. If you like it, do it. I used to get made of for putting mushrooms on pizza, so I stopped doing it until I was an adult. It is fun watching you cook or whatnot while doing your video, but can I make a suggestion? Can you not bounce the screen constantly back and forth? It is distracting and hurts my eyes and gives me a headache. If you need to switch between cameras, can you stay there for at least 10 seconds before switching back? Especially when you're not even looking at the camera behind you.

Yummy. In my answer to people as to whether I want a healing I scream, I AM NOT YOUR SPIRITUAL PROJECT TO ALLOW YOU DIRECT ACCESS TO HEAVENLY DIVINITY. I use my chair I am having one of most days and I am very thankful for my wheels and THE LAST THING I NEED IS FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME TO FEEL BAD. I also use a cane or walker at times the same applies. I once told a person if GOD wanted me “complete” then he would grow back my finger, and fix other structural stuff to which the person replied, “nah he won’t do all that you crazy.” 😂 Sometimes being a normal me is fun as I was diagnosed in my early twenties with spinal deformities and did some pretty amazing stuff.
