  • The experts said they wouldn’t live past the age of 2. Now in their 20's brothers Blake and Ryan Leitch are enjoying the independence of flatting with their mates and having the freedom of doing their own thing.

    Such strong men. I'm from the US and I had no idea what Flatting was.

    I just watched the video showing the 2 brothers still living at home where their 3 abled siblings were their carers. Great family!

    The triplets are well trained they would be good caregivers, growing up with a disabled loved one makes people more humble and grateful. The mom is lucky to have them to help.

    "We have a popular discourse that increasingly demeans and devalues those who, because of life's misfortunes, find themselves dependant on a welfare payment.
    But the injustice should not be overlooked just because it was difficult or inconvenient."
    ''If it was unjust for the legal system to discriminate on the basis of where an injury was suffered, or whether fault could be established, then it is surely unjust to discriminate between incapacity caused by a physical injury and incapacity caused by sickness or disease. " - Andrew Little

    Hi Guys, I loved watching and listening to your story. Have you seen "Squirmy and Grubs" on youtube? It's a channel run by a couple- he, Shane , has SMA, and his wife cares for him. Also, are you aware of the Jayco Arm? It's relatively new. It's an ' arm ' you control, it's attached to your chair. It would give you more independence.

    The triplet brother is so handsome.
    I think that plan that pays for their carers should be a model everywhere .

    I wonder if the boys have tried Spinraza which is a real game changer for people with SMA, it halts the progress of the disease. I'd love an update on how they are going.

    Amazing men. Who have wonderful family.... People with disabilities can change world with the intellect they have & seeing things from different point of view...... They need the opportunities.. so much is put on LGBTQ & TRANS RIGHTS. which should be put on rights of those with disabilities....

      @emiliesmith5032 5 лет назад +4

      Woah... ok. First of all, in modern day in a developed country, that is the norm. Secondly, it's them that want to leave and do stuff, and they are living through their disability, not their mum.

      I know you probably don’t mean it this way but please be careful of the word inspiration. These guys are just living their normal lives probably don’t want to be in inspiration to any word. They just want to educate people that everyone deserves to live independently

    Flatting? What is that?

    • @tiamarie6719
      @tiamarie6719 5 лет назад +3

      It's another way of saying, looking for an apartment or apartment hunting. In Europe namely the U.K., apartments are called flats because of their lower levels and the word has a German origin, flets. Although sometimes, the higher ones are also called flats. I don't know why. Because, they're used to calling them that after several years I suppose and it also avoids complicating things. If you want to know more, look it up.

  • @WVgirl1959

    I am a twin but notice how even the brothers with disabilities call their siblings "the triplets"?
    My mom always called my 2 brothers "the boys" but never called my sister and me "the girls" but maybe it was because my sister was almost 6 years older.
    I am almost 64 and wasn't sure if other families did that. Lol

    Judi must be incredible when she raised two boys mit SMA who need 24 hours care, that have no gotten much past their life expectancy! Most parents can’t even imagine how it is like having a disabled child, she has too severely disabled boys.
