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.

IF YOU MISSED IT, WATCH THIS FIRST:
I've only been in a wheelchair for a little over a year now and some lady pushed me out of the way when I was grocery shopping. Her excuse was she was trying to shop! I yelled at her ”what do you think I'm doing?” and threatened to run her over. She ran away yelling sorry over her shoulder. So rude and disrespectful, I was livid!
Someone actually grabbed the controller on my powerchair last year. I couldn't believe it!
What annoys me is that a lot of this stuff would be considered assault if it was done to a non-disabled person, so why do we as disabled people have to just grin and bear it? I laughed when you said you'd generally ask someone if you can move their property because I've been in that situation. I was at a podiatry appointment and mum was in the room. The podiatrist asked mum if she could move her handbag out of the way, then she decided to move my chair with the brakes on without even saying anything like she owned it. It happens, people!
Legal assault
Oh my goodness yes you nailed so many great valid points. Also another one of my pet peeves and I have a brother in law that notoriously used to do this to me is he would put his dirty disgusting shoes on my wheelchair and use me as his personal foot rest. I constantly would tell him its not appropriate but he continued to do it so one time while he fell asleep I untied both his shoes, then tied them together with a triple knot and shoved his feet to the ground. 🤣
What irritates me is when they try to pick up our chairs and they drop them and scratch the paint jobs, that may sound like a small thing to somebody and I may sound like I'm just whining but whining but I don't know how much damage they can cause to my chair just from a superficial scratch I don't know if they've knocked anything out of alignment or if they've damaged my axles or bent my wheels or something more serious it is, to any new users you have a right to complete autonomy in your device It is OK to ask someone please don't touch my chair to my chair until you can show them how to prepare it for transport such as folding the Seat or folding the chair if it's a folding chair and showing them how to detach the wheels for example. To anyone able bodied and watching this video for knowledge we've set it before in the community you have to think of our mobility aids as an extension of our bodies like Gem said You wouldn't touch another person on the leg or touch them anywhere in their body so why would you think it's OK to touch our wheelchairs without asking?? If you want to help simply ask before you do anything that way we can tell you if we're ready for assistance or if we need a minute to finish whatever we're doing before you touch or try to help with our chairs at all.. This goes for any mobility equipment not just wheelchairs.
Don’t take a blind persons cane because it is there eyes to see with, don’t take a wheelchair because it is that persons legs to walk with, if you think it’s wrong to not rip off people’s legs and eyes don’t do it to disabled people
I have been in a wheelchair for over 3 years and have found nothing but respect for me. No one has ever pushed my wheelchair unless asking me first. The only time I had a problem was in a crowded family setting where someone made a point to let me know I was in the way of everyone. I could not find a place to be and was pretty humiliated. It would have been nice if the person had asked others to allow me to get through to where I was going. Instead I sat and waited for someone to move.
Disabled peeps: Don’t be mad if I open the door I automatically do it without thinking and hold it open for people.
The only people I don't mind touching my wheelchair are under the age of 5. (I have a Helio C2 in pink and it attracts little people.)
How a Serious Incident Occurred:
It’s so damn violating and terrifying when a stranger starts pushing you/ touching your chair. Strangers using you as a leaning post - there’s so many things. We are people sitting down. People. basic decency and respect is not too much to ask, yet it seems so hard to get.
Even when I ask a friend to push me up a ramp or something if they go slightly faster or further than I wanted it's scary! I hate it when strangers just come up to me and push me around, especially when I'm out on my own as I tend to wear headphones so I can't hear them or know they are behind me till they just start pushing me. I've actually been tipped out of my chair and dislocated a hip (EDS life) by a stranger 'trying to help', abled's really don't get it
The reinactments were a marvel. Good acting on all parts. Well done team.
Thank you for this video. This has been and is honestly such a big issue for me because so many people don’t get it. Even now my kids are adults they will still come visit me and stand there fiddling with my chair, like pulling the joystick off and on over and over while they talk to me or learn so hard on the head rest that I can see it bending. They think I’m just being petty when I beg them to leave my chair alone.
I love that at the end of half the reenactments, Sean (Shaun? I know both are common spellings) runs away comedically after the incident occurs.
Know this is a serious issue but your husband is such a good sport for helping show all of this.
I don’t have push handles. So they push in my back...that hurts. I do love the social distancing here in the Netherlands. No more stepping over my legs when I am in my wheelchair! I really hated that! But still people do get to close.
I've had so many people startle me so badly so many times over the years that I almost instinctively physically lash out.
