My youngest son has Cerebral Palsy and significant delays. He moves slowly and carefully and retrieves information from his brain slowly. I have learned from Sam to slow my physical body down AND I have learned to slow down before I speak. These are great skills in this fast 2 dimensional existence. I thank him for this and admire Sam’s perseverance in the face of “normal “ folk wanting him to go faster.
Thankyou so very much, you remind me of friends of mine, and although I'm not disabled but suffer from extreme depression, still they continue to SIT in the dark room with me until I feel Comfortable. They do this for me Consistently and Selflessly.❤
@@kaitwhy8337 There was someone in the front row typing on a keyboard, and through Bluetooth the words were popping up in Braille. So the machine wasn’t converting speech to Braille on its own. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video!
Making our world better is a collective responsibility, and discovering ableism will make some people uncomfortable. We can remind folks that we can all help remove barriers. Something can be ableist now, but through work and reflection be accessible tomorrow.

@@Happysewist I hope you and Sam have a wonderful weekend, with many more people in the community learning to embrace and appreciate patience! ❤️

@@Virus-xm7qc You have amazing friends! May we all have friends who will sit with us when things are tough! Thank you for sharing this. ❤️
It makes sense, but I never knew there was a machine that could turn sound into Braille in real time, that is so freakin' cool!

This is all so good for me to see and hear! Often when I am out and about I find myself impatient and in a hurry. I need to dial it back.
@@nancydaley9646 Thank you for sharing that! We can all use the reminder to savor experiences rather than rushing through.
Wow! This is such an amazing speech. I was never aware about slow-shaming. Thank you for sharing queen.
@@BB-pv6cf Thank you for taking the time to learn with us!
You spoke truth and with patience i listened and understood.
@@Seawiz21 Thank you for saying that! ❤️
What you said is important. You can say the same thing without using “ableist.” In the before times groups educated people without insulting them.

@@haben_girma The word ableist is divisive. If you think you have to insult people to educate people you need self reflection.
Great work
@@GeorgeTheDinoGuy Thank you!
I'm so glad some of it was recorded because I was too slow to RSVP!
