0:00:19 > 0:00:21My name is Archie.

0:00:21 > 0:00:27I'm 10 years old, and I have got cerebral palsy.

0:00:28 > 0:00:35Charlie's my twin brother, he's got the same disability as me.

0:00:38 > 0:00:44We've got a lot of things in common, and we do lots of things together.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50It affects my legs because the signal from my brain

0:00:50 > 0:00:56can't properly get down to the legs so they're not as strong.

0:00:56 > 0:01:02So whenever I stand up, my legs feel like jelly.

0:01:03 > 0:01:09The doctors predicted I would never be able to speak,

0:01:09 > 0:01:15I would never know my parents, I would never be able to eat,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18and I would never be able to wheel myself.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Wheelchair basketball is very good

0:01:34 > 0:01:41because it allows me to play with other people that feel the same way

0:01:41 > 0:01:44and have the same disability and we can just play together.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48Our team is called Lewisham Thunder.

0:01:48 > 0:01:55Kyle and Deon are two of my friends at basketball.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58My name is Deon, and I am 13 years old.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00And my name's Kyle and I'm 10.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Archie is a good player.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05He likes to defend a lot, but he sometimes attacks.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08And he's got a brilliant right hand!

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Sometimes people think just because we're in wheelchairs

0:02:22 > 0:02:24we can't play sports, but that's not it.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28If we're in wheelchairs we can still play Olympic sports.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33My coach is called Steve, Steve inspires me

0:02:33 > 0:02:36because he is on the England team

0:02:36 > 0:02:43and he brings a message that you can still do what you want to do.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53I spend half the time out my chair,

0:02:53 > 0:02:58and I crawl when I'm not in my chair.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15My favourite bit of gardening is doing archaeology

0:03:15 > 0:03:17with Charlie and my dad.

0:03:19 > 0:03:25Charlie, let's have a competition, who can find the most pieces.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32I can't do things as quick as other people.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Do you want to lie down and have a look?

0:03:34 > 0:03:38The frogs are probably hiding under those logs, there.

0:03:38 > 0:03:43I can't wheel as fast as other people,

0:03:43 > 0:03:46I can't, maybe, speak as fast as other people.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Well, I'm sure I can.

0:03:49 > 0:03:55But I can still do exactly the same things, it just takes time.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58What's the treat? Oh.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Er, I'm not sure.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Er, I don't know. The washing up? - No!

0:04:11 > 0:04:13That's you!

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19What a lovely run!

0:04:19 > 0:04:23I especially like playing FIFA 12 with my brother.

0:04:23 > 0:04:242-0!

0:04:24 > 0:04:28I know it's a videogame,

0:04:28 > 0:04:35but I picture myself being the player.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Oh!

0:04:36 > 0:04:39I picture myself scoring all the goals.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- 'He takes the shot and he's put it away!'- Yes! Oh!

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Being in that West Ham shirt, because it helps.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52Oh, what a cracking shot! What a cracker!

0:04:52 > 0:04:55In real football, obviously there's going to be a disadvantage for me,

0:04:55 > 0:05:00but in FIFA there's no disadvantage.

0:05:00 > 0:05:07It helps me with something that I might not be able to do,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10but I can do it in a videogame.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I do not need any help academically.

0:05:15 > 0:05:20It's only one half of my body that doesn't work.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22My brain works.

0:05:22 > 0:05:29I like school because it gives me a chance to see my friends,

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Kai and Hector are good friends.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- The yellow thing.- Well... - I just ate your hotdog!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39They help me take my plate.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41They help me get my coat.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47They help me around school.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50They go down in the lift, they go up the lift.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55And we always play together, always.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59- I'm Hector.- I'm Kai. - And we're friends with Archie.- Yup.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Stay back!- Argh!- Back!

0:06:03 > 0:06:06We really kind of play army games.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08ARCHIE MAKES GUN NOISES

0:06:08 > 0:06:10And games where we have to hide,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13and then Archie has to come and find us.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18And we kind of play stunt games, where we have to do some stunts.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Like jumping over his wheelchair!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32We can include Archie in everything we play,

0:06:32 > 0:06:37most of them are quite simple but fun games.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Another thing I play at break is tabletop cricket.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Four!

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- A four!- Four!

0:06:51 > 0:06:56Basically it's cricket played on a table and it's really fun.

0:07:01 > 0:07:08I don't really think it's my place to tell people what to do.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11But if I had to send a message,

0:07:11 > 0:07:19it would be - I'd like me to be treated with some respect.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25If you want to push me, you've got to ask if you want to push me.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Ooh!

0:07:27 > 0:07:33If you want to hold the door, then please do, just ask.

0:07:33 > 0:07:38Or, just ask me if you want me to hold the door, because I can.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Bang on!

0:07:40 > 0:07:43THEY GASP

0:07:43 > 0:07:49I don't think being a wheelchair user makes me different.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53Well, of course I might look different,

0:07:53 > 0:07:56but it doesn't make me feel different.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00I'm just the same but on wheels, that's all I am.

0:08:33 > 0:08:38My name's Rebecca, I am 10 years old, and I have an allergy to nuts.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46When I first found out I had the allergy,

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I was quite nervous and scared,

0:08:48 > 0:08:55but it does get easier and you generally get to do normal things.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16A typical Saturday, we go into the fish and chip shop.

0:09:16 > 0:09:22Can I have chips and gravy, and can Dad have some fish and chips?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Chips and gravy and fish and chips?

0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Yes!- OK.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Thank you!

0:09:32 > 0:09:36We know it's a nut safe fish and chip shop

0:09:36 > 0:09:40and it's one of the only places I can get lunch in Huddersfield.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42- They're nice, aren't they? - Gorgeous, yeah.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Just as good as usual.

0:09:49 > 0:09:54We go down into the market, get some sweets from the sweetie stall.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Hi!

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Hi, how are you? All right?

0:10:04 > 0:10:08We go to that particular store for sweets because it tells you

0:10:08 > 0:10:10if it's got nuts in it.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I can't have eclairs.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19It does get quite boring sometimes,

0:10:19 > 0:10:23reading labels after label after label after label.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26I support Huddersfield Town.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47When we go to the match, instead of eating the things at the ground,

0:10:47 > 0:10:49we take our own snacks.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Yeah!

0:11:06 > 0:11:07Hudders!

0:11:07 > 0:11:09We can't have Twixes any more.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Mum can't eat her Snickers

0:11:10 > 0:11:13and dad can't have his peanuts in the cupboard.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17If I touch nuts or come in contact or eat nuts,

0:11:17 > 0:11:19my throat will start to swell up

0:11:19 > 0:11:22and I can't breathe so I'll have to have my EpiPen.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Tip it in.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- What are we making now?- Raspberry and white chocolate cookies.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38It smells nice.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40From the top.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- The last bit of chocolate. - Can I have it?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Make sure it's all mixed together. - It's getting harder!

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Make it flat.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05I bake my own cookies because, well, when we go to the shops

0:12:05 > 0:12:09they always put on the packages that they can't guarantee it's nut free,

0:12:09 > 0:12:12so we just make our own so then we know that they're nut free

0:12:12 > 0:12:14and they're safe and it's a lot more fun

0:12:14 > 0:12:17than just going to the shops and buying them.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- What are we going to do with those now?- Throw them in the oven!- Good.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26We went to a craft fair at church and we brought a chocolate cake

0:12:26 > 0:12:29and I went to eat it but my throat swelled up

0:12:29 > 0:12:33because somebody had used a knife to cut an almond cake.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35They used the same knife to cut the chocolate cake.

0:12:35 > 0:12:41We have to be very careful, because if I've not got my medicine with me

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I definitely won't take the risk.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45If I have got my medicine with me,

0:12:45 > 0:12:49I'll take the risk of eating a chocolate cake or something.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55- It's hot.- Do you want to try?- Yup. - Mmm!- Don't eat too much of it.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Huzzah!

0:13:01 > 0:13:05My school supports me by helping me with my school dinners.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12You're not allowed to bring in food with nuts in or chocolate bars

0:13:12 > 0:13:16or anything like that, just in case me or any other pupils

0:13:16 > 0:13:18come up with an allergic reaction.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Right, who wants a Kit Kat?

0:13:20 > 0:13:26All of my friends know that I have a nut allergy, so it's quite good.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Fruit Winder competition! - They are the same size.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31TOGETHER: Get set, eat!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33People can't really share with me

0:13:33 > 0:13:36because sometimes people will say I "...probably should be all right,

0:13:36 > 0:13:41"my brother has an allergy to nuts and he can eat these chocolate bars",

0:13:41 > 0:13:46but still it might be a different nut that he's allergic to.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48This is the bag I usually take around with me,

0:13:48 > 0:13:54here I've got a little sign that says I have an allergy to nuts.

0:13:54 > 0:14:00Inside we've my EpiPens, two of them are real

0:14:00 > 0:14:02and this one's a practice one.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04What I do is I take the lid off,

0:14:07 > 0:14:09then I just grab the EpiPen in a fist,

0:14:09 > 0:14:15jab it into my thigh, and hold it for 10 seconds.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Then I would rub it for another very long 10 seconds,

0:14:20 > 0:14:24then if the ambulance still hasn't come, I use the other one,

0:14:24 > 0:14:27do the exact same thing but in the other thigh.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31Then, if the ambulance still hasn't come, I have to use my inhaler.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35If I didn't use the EpiPen then I would probably die

0:14:35 > 0:14:37because my throat would be swollen up and I couldn't breathe.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45If you saw someone having an allergic reaction the way to help them would

0:14:45 > 0:14:47be by sitting them up

0:14:47 > 0:14:50and making sure it's a bit easier for them to breathe.

0:14:50 > 0:14:56Calling the ambulance and just, basically, reassuring them.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00If someone has got an allergy, it doesn't mean they're any different,

0:15:00 > 0:15:03you've just got something difficult to cope with.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Now I am kind of used to it and not really bothered.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Kind of one of those things.

0:15:35 > 0:15:42My name is Phoebe, I'm seven years old, and I have type one diabetes.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50TOGETHER: Trick or Treat?!

0:15:50 > 0:15:55Type one diabetes is that I have a pancreas what doesn't work.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58It means that my blood sugar goes low and high,

0:15:58 > 0:16:00so I have to have injections to help it.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05Other people give me sweets and I say no,

0:16:05 > 0:16:08because I have to control it properly, the way I should.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Do you want these?- I don't mind.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I couldn't just sneakily eat one

0:16:12 > 0:16:14because I didn't bring the diabetes kit.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16I feel sorry for Phoebe

0:16:16 > 0:16:19because we can eat as much sweets as we like, rather than Phoebe,

0:16:19 > 0:16:21every time she picks up a sweet

0:16:21 > 0:16:25she has to ask her mum and then take a test and also has to take a jab.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30I test and I inject myself four times a day.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I do the insulin before I eat my dinner.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42- 6.8!- 6.8? Excellent. OK.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47I have to fill the insulin in my pancreas to make it work.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Put in 55 grams of carbohydrate, that should do it.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04In the morning, when we're doing our breakfast,

0:17:04 > 0:17:07what we do is we have all of these little strips

0:17:07 > 0:17:11and then what we do is we get my finger prick ready

0:17:11 > 0:17:15and then we prick my finger, blood comes out,

0:17:15 > 0:17:17I tell my mum the reading

0:17:17 > 0:17:22and then after that she tells me how many carbs to put into the monitor.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I put them in and then it tells me

0:17:24 > 0:17:28how many units I should give to inject myself.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Tested!- Thank you!

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Four units.- Four units.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39When I had my injection the first ever time it did hurt.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Now I have gotten used to having the injection

0:17:42 > 0:17:45it's actually getting better and better every time.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49- There you go.- Thank you, Mummy. - No worries.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01# Three, six, nine, and twelve!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04# Fifteen, eighteen, twenty-one... #

0:18:04 > 0:18:08At school I have to do it at break time

0:18:08 > 0:18:11and lunchtime I have to do it again.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Phoebe, could you go and take yourself down to Mrs Ball, please.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15Good girl, thank you.

0:18:15 > 0:18:21If I don't do that, my blood sugar will go really, really high.

0:18:21 > 0:18:26The signs are when I have got a bad tummy, maybe the headache,

0:18:26 > 0:18:32and when I am really teary and I am really shaky as well.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35..sept, huit, neuf, dix, onze, douz, treze, quatorze, quinze.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Make sure you eat all your apple up. OK?- Yup. Thank you.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39There we go.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I do have to be kind of careful, because even though I've had the jab

0:18:42 > 0:18:45and I can run around, I can't run around too much, mad.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53You see the pancreas, it goes a bit "oooh"

0:18:53 > 0:18:56and that's when I start to feel a bit low.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01My friends at home, they always say, "Are you OK?"

0:19:01 > 0:19:04when they just notice that I'm running a bit weird or shaking,

0:19:04 > 0:19:08they just run and knock on the door, then my mum knows

0:19:08 > 0:19:10and they bring me in.

0:19:15 > 0:19:21Whenever you see a diabetic a bit shaky or anything wrong with them,

0:19:21 > 0:19:26just go and look after them and tell somebody straight away.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51My hobby is singing, acting and dancing.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53# Santa's got to make it to town

0:19:53 > 0:19:55# Santa make him hurry

0:19:55 > 0:19:57# Tell him he can take the freeway down

0:19:57 > 0:19:58# Yeah! #

0:19:58 > 0:20:04Whenever it's the snack time, I have to do my blood tests

0:20:04 > 0:20:05and my injection whenever I am eating.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- No!- Oh no!

0:20:08 > 0:20:13- Ohh!- Oh no!- I'm not going to eat my lunch.- Yeah, you are. It's fine.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17Have that. Then we'll do it again. In a bit.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21When I have a low reading I have to have a sugary drink

0:20:21 > 0:20:23or anything what's got sugar in it.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26And then I have to wait for 10 minutes

0:20:26 > 0:20:29and then it'll bring back up the sugar levels.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Ahh...- 6.9?

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Two units!

0:20:46 > 0:20:51It makes me feel like I'm really left out on food

0:20:51 > 0:20:54because loads of people get to eat straight away

0:20:54 > 0:20:57and I have to have the blood test and the injections before I eat,

0:20:57 > 0:21:00it's not really that fair, if you know what I mean.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03But some of my friends what are really kind,

0:21:03 > 0:21:06they don't eat their sweets, they eat it when I eat it

0:21:06 > 0:21:09and they be really kind to me and I really enjoy that

0:21:09 > 0:21:13because it means they're being a really kind, thoughtful friend.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16# You don't know how I feel

0:21:16 > 0:21:19# I'm so sad inside... #

0:21:19 > 0:21:21I have my own little book where I write my own songs

0:21:21 > 0:21:25from singing as well.

0:21:26 > 0:21:31# I want to be a normal girl

0:21:31 > 0:21:33# That's all I want

0:21:33 > 0:21:35# If only I could have this... #

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Diabetics can still be normal children and normal people,

0:21:38 > 0:21:42but all is wrong with them is they just have to have blood tests,

0:21:42 > 0:21:46it doesn't mean that they're going to stop doing what they need to do.

0:21:46 > 0:21:52When I grow up I would like to be a nurse, a vet,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55or, mostly, I would love to be a singer.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59PHOEBE SINGS SCALES

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Good!- Another one!

0:22:01 > 0:22:03I do singing lessons with Polly,

0:22:03 > 0:22:06and we do harmonies together

0:22:06 > 0:22:09and then she brings me new songs what I should learn,

0:22:09 > 0:22:11then I sing the songs to her and she helps me.

0:22:11 > 0:22:18# Nevermind, I'll find someone like you

0:22:18 > 0:22:21# I wish nothing but the best for you too... #

0:22:21 > 0:22:24It doesn't matter that I've got diabetes,

0:22:24 > 0:22:26even though you are diabetic,

0:22:26 > 0:22:29whatever happens to you, you can still go anywhere.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54My name is Theo, I am 10 years old.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00There's no one else who's visually impaired who goes karate.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04But it don't really make a difference because they treat me the same

0:23:04 > 0:23:07as everybody else and that's what I like,

0:23:07 > 0:23:09I don't like being treated different.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I think karate is something really, really good to learn,

0:23:15 > 0:23:18because if, like, one day someone comes up to me in the street

0:23:18 > 0:23:21and they know that I'm blind

0:23:21 > 0:23:24so then they know I won't be as strong as the others,

0:23:24 > 0:23:28but with karate, I learn how to defend myself and all that.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Kiai!

0:23:29 > 0:23:32When I was born I had tumours in my eye,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35so then they had to take those tumours out

0:23:35 > 0:23:39but I cannot see out of this eye now.

0:23:39 > 0:23:44With my right eye, imagine an alien with one eye,

0:23:44 > 0:23:47and the eye is about this big. That's what I can see.

0:23:47 > 0:23:51Theo, don't forget to put your eye drops in, yeah?

0:23:51 > 0:23:56Every three hours I have these little drops that I put in my eye,

0:23:56 > 0:23:59I need them, because if my eyes dry out,

0:23:59 > 0:24:02the tumours might come back to life.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Your eyes all right?- Yeah.- Cool. OK.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15CHEERING

0:24:21 > 0:24:25On a Saturday I go cricket, for the VI team. VI means visually impaired.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33The only difference in normal cricket and this cricket is

0:24:33 > 0:24:37in this cricket it's much, much more communication,

0:24:37 > 0:24:40you have to shout your name when you catch the ball,

0:24:40 > 0:24:45you have to clap your hands, say yes or no, and the ball is a big ball.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Right, ready?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50It's got little jingle bells in it,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53and then you hear the ball coming to you.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I like it because we get to interact with lots of people

0:24:56 > 0:24:59who have the same problem,

0:24:59 > 0:25:02and I think that's really, really good that they've got this.

0:25:08 > 0:25:09- Dad?- Yeah?

0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Do people do this for a job? - For a living, they do, you know.

0:25:12 > 0:25:18Sometimes I help my dad, I help him do the easy jobs like carry a bucket,

0:25:18 > 0:25:22paint, scrape stuff off walls for him, clean.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Some people will say to me,

0:25:24 > 0:25:27"Oh, you might not do this good because you've an eyesight problem,"

0:25:27 > 0:25:29But my dad, he is really good,

0:25:29 > 0:25:33he don't even remember that I have an eyesight problem.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35He treats me normal.

0:25:35 > 0:25:40Sometimes you just forget because I act so normal to everyone else,

0:25:40 > 0:25:45and I think it's really, really good that people give me a chance.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48"Put the work in to save the..."

0:25:48 > 0:25:56When I read, I have big books. 26 font, it's easier for me to read.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59"I've got to get out."

0:25:59 > 0:26:03If it's a small book, I have magnifiers to help me find it.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05"..pedalled forward."

0:26:09 > 0:26:13On a Tuesday and a Thursday I have a Braille lesson.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Braille is an alphabet,

0:26:15 > 0:26:18but you feel it with your fingers, for blind people.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Next line.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31I'm not blind,

0:26:31 > 0:26:35but I still use it just in case I become blind later on in my life.

0:26:35 > 0:26:36Five eights?

0:26:36 > 0:26:40In class they treat me the same as everyone else there.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44Good, well done, Theo. Well done, Jenny.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47The only difference is I get blown up papers,

0:26:47 > 0:26:49and they explain it more to me.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Like the one you just wrote and then you change it over here.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58When people are too nice to me I hate it,

0:26:58 > 0:27:03because the only difference between me and you is,

0:27:03 > 0:27:07I've got eyesight problems and you lot can see perfectly well.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Some of you can, anyway.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12But, with my eyesight problems,

0:27:12 > 0:27:17yeah, I hate it when people treat me like a kid.

0:27:17 > 0:27:18"Oh, Theo, do you want this?"

0:27:18 > 0:27:25"Oh, Theo, here you go, let me take you to your desk." I hate it.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44My name is Jake and I have been Theo's best friend since reception.

0:27:44 > 0:27:50Theo is very, very clever in maths and sometimes he helps me

0:27:50 > 0:27:54with my maths and sometimes games, like, on the computer.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57So, yeah, he helps me quite a lot.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Having Jake as a friend,

0:27:59 > 0:28:02it makes me feel like I've got someone to look after me.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07One time in Year Four, a boy was teasing him about his disability.

0:28:07 > 0:28:10And I had to tell him that he is just like you,

0:28:10 > 0:28:12and you shouldn't be teasing him.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15If that happened to you, how would you feel

0:28:15 > 0:28:16if someone was teasing you about it.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20So, yeah, there were some hard times for Theo.

0:28:26 > 0:28:31I tell people that I've got bad eyesight, I'm half blind,

0:28:31 > 0:28:34and I can't see that good.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39I tell them, "I'm sorry if I bump into you, or stuff like that."

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Beep, beep, Theo!

0:28:47 > 0:28:52Because I can't see, I have to use my senses a bit more to live.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59So if I am going to the shops and I have to cross a road,

0:28:59 > 0:29:03I could hear from the cars.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06If I can't see them, I could hear them.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15With my cane, I do use it sometimes.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18So, when I'm on the trains, I'm like,

0:29:18 > 0:29:22"Move out the way, VIP coming through!"

0:29:27 > 0:29:33At night time, when I go out, I take a torch with me.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Sometimes there's lights just not working,

0:29:35 > 0:29:39So on that bit I just have to switch on my torch.

0:29:42 > 0:29:43Thank you very much.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08THEY CHEER

0:30:27 > 0:30:32Most people with a visual impairment, they find fireworks quite scary.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36But, me, I enjoy it.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yay!

0:30:42 > 0:30:45In this little space I could see the fireworks,

0:30:45 > 0:30:48because they were far away and because they were big,

0:30:48 > 0:30:49I could see them.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Ha-ha!

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Just because someone can't see as far as someone else

0:30:56 > 0:30:58that doesn't mean they are really different,

0:30:58 > 0:31:02it just means that, well, he's blind. Yeah, so what?

0:31:02 > 0:31:06It don't really make a difference that I am visually impaired,

0:31:06 > 0:31:10I'm used to this and I was brought up this way, I don't feel any different.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49My name is Elna.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51I'm Felicia.

0:31:51 > 0:31:52Alexandra.

0:31:52 > 0:31:57My sisters Felicia and Alexandra are the same age as me.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59We are in Year Three.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01We are triplets.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04I've got brown/black hair.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06My colour hair is brown

0:32:06 > 0:32:10and, Alexandra, my other sister's hair is...

0:32:10 > 0:32:11..Yellow.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17I'm different to my sisters

0:32:17 > 0:32:20because Alexandra has Down's Syndrome

0:32:20 > 0:32:24and Felicia likes fashion more than me.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29Sometimes she needs help with everyday things,

0:32:29 > 0:32:30sometimes she doesn't.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33That's it!

0:32:33 > 0:32:36She can brush her teeth by herself,

0:32:36 > 0:32:39but she can't get dressed by herself.

0:32:41 > 0:32:46- Mummy, I love you.- I love you, too.

0:32:47 > 0:32:51She likes to cuddle and hold people's hands.

0:32:51 > 0:32:57Girls, can we get shoes on, please!

0:32:57 > 0:33:00We get her ready for school.

0:33:00 > 0:33:01There you go.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Thank you.- You're welcome.

0:33:09 > 0:33:14We go to the same primary school and we're in the same class.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22I sit next to Heidi.

0:33:22 > 0:33:29Felicia sits next to Jack and Alexandra sits next to Logan.

0:33:29 > 0:33:33Alexandra's assistant is Mrs Eddy.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36What number shall I put down now.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38One?

0:33:38 > 0:33:43- Just one? I need a higher number than one.- Two?

0:33:43 > 0:33:47Mrs Eddy helps Alexandra to spell her words

0:33:47 > 0:33:49and she helps with her maths.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52- How many am I taking away?- Two.- Two.

0:33:52 > 0:33:56My name's Logan, and I sit next to Alexandra.

0:33:56 > 0:33:5826. Where's 26?

0:34:01 > 0:34:0326.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08I'm not very good at adding up, and Alexandra helps me.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Can you show Logan? Try and help Logan.

0:34:11 > 0:34:17- 26!- 26, Logan. A two and a six.

0:34:17 > 0:34:22I like playing with Alexandra and working with Alexandra.

0:34:23 > 0:34:30Together we do gymnastics, swimming and brownies.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33That's it, good girl.

0:34:33 > 0:34:40Jump, that's it, and jump. Jump. Jump. Jump.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08- Fiona's coming.- Ahh!

0:35:10 > 0:35:15All the way down, good girl. Thank you. Feet on the end.

0:35:17 > 0:35:18Then we do a big jump.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24And we're done.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31Alexandra likes CBeebies.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33- COMPUTER:- 'Banana.'

0:35:33 > 0:35:34Banana.

0:35:34 > 0:35:41She doesn't like much noise, so she does the quietest things.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48We've all been going swimming since we were one.

0:36:03 > 0:36:11She has a teacher that helps her to learn how to swim.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26I think she's starting to get the hang of it.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33# Round and round... #

0:36:33 > 0:36:37Because Alex has Down's syndrome, Alex might do

0:36:37 > 0:36:40some groups in different days and we might not be doing

0:36:40 > 0:36:42the same as each other.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44One, two, three...

0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Do you think you could do that? Can you do the same?- Yes.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50- One, two, three. Go on, then. - One, two, three.

0:36:50 > 0:36:58Alexandra's education group helps with her spelling, her reading

0:36:58 > 0:37:01and her writing.

0:37:01 > 0:37:06- Which one says Ellie?- That one. - Ellie. That's right.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08So that's "Who?" Put it on the "Who?"

0:37:08 > 0:37:12Good girl. Who. And what's she doing?

0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Ellie is lying down. - Ellie is lying down.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Right, which one says "lying down"?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23Good girl. Shall we see if we can read the sentence?

0:37:23 > 0:37:27Ellie is lying down.

0:37:27 > 0:37:32- Good girl.- Under the table. - Well done!

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Ellie is lying down under the table.

0:37:34 > 0:37:40It's good being a triplet because when there's three it is more fun.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44THEY GIGGLE

0:37:51 > 0:37:54ALEX LAUGHS

0:37:55 > 0:37:57You get to do activities together

0:37:57 > 0:38:02and you've always got your sisters around whenever you need them.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31You've got to treat her kind and you've got to treat her nicely

0:38:31 > 0:38:36because she doesn't exactly know what things mean.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49She has lots of friends and I just want them

0:38:49 > 0:38:54to be kind to Alexandra and give her a nice life.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22THEY SCREAM AND LAUGH

0:39:23 > 0:39:27My name's Alisha. I'm nine years old and I have asthma.

0:39:30 > 0:39:35Asthma's a condition that triggers difficult breathing and wheezing.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42I can't play outside in cold weather

0:39:42 > 0:39:45because the cold normally affects my asthma.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51I have to take my blue inhaler whenever I get wheezy.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57My normal medicine, which is my inhaler, stops my coughing

0:39:57 > 0:40:01for a little while and opens up my chest so I can breathe more.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06When I have asthma attack,

0:40:06 > 0:40:13it feels like your chest has just closed up and you can't breathe.

0:40:13 > 0:40:18If I have an asthma attack, most of the time I go to the hospital.

0:40:18 > 0:40:23They treat me by putting oxygen and a nebuliser on me

0:40:23 > 0:40:25so I get more breath.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30It makes me feel really upset when I can't play outside

0:40:30 > 0:40:34because it just reminds me that if I was OK

0:40:34 > 0:40:37and I didn't have asthma, I could have played outside.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42I would say that I could do PE most of the time

0:40:42 > 0:40:47but every few weeks, I don't play it because of my asthma.

0:40:49 > 0:40:54I play korfball in school, and go to tournaments sometimes.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00Korfball sometimes makes me cough because I'm running about

0:41:00 > 0:41:02and you have to try and run fast

0:41:02 > 0:41:05to get to where the ball is going to be thrown.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13It sometimes trigger my asthma but I try and fight it.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26I'm different to the people who don't have asthma

0:41:26 > 0:41:28because you have to watch what you play,

0:41:28 > 0:41:32whereas other people don't have to.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35I can't do running every single day.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38I can only do it three plays in a week.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42I like knitting because I'm with my friend

0:41:42 > 0:41:50and it's not, like, running about and affecting my asthma.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Most of my friends like to play lying dog

0:42:02 > 0:42:04and then I can't play with them.

0:42:04 > 0:42:10My friends do sometimes play with me but it does also make me feel upset

0:42:10 > 0:42:11because they give up their games

0:42:11 > 0:42:15to play with me and I can't play with them.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18Alisha can't run as fast

0:42:18 > 0:42:21but it doesn't make a lot of difference to our friendship.

0:42:21 > 0:42:27'On Friday playtimes, I do librarian.'

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Librarian means that you tidy up the library

0:42:30 > 0:42:33and make sure it looks nice for visitors to come and see.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43Because it has got a barcode and it has got a sticker...

0:42:52 > 0:42:56The good thing about librarian is that I'm not always outside

0:42:56 > 0:42:59on the playground so I have to be reminded

0:42:59 > 0:43:04that I'm taking people away from playing their games

0:43:04 > 0:43:07that I can't play, and that I can't play them.

0:43:12 > 0:43:17I do miss school a lot because of my asthma.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Sometimes I could have had an asthma attack

0:43:19 > 0:43:22or I could be very unwell because of my asthma.

0:43:24 > 0:43:32There have been some girls that have been mean to me about asthma because

0:43:32 > 0:43:37sometimes I miss out on school and then they think that maybe

0:43:37 > 0:43:40I've chickened out on something,

0:43:40 > 0:43:44or they've excluded me because I missed out on their club,

0:43:44 > 0:43:47and they thought that I was doing it on purpose.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50That makes me feel really upset

0:43:50 > 0:43:54because they don't understand that I'm not doing it on purpose.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57It's asthma and it's not my fault.

0:43:58 > 0:44:03People should take asthma seriously because it is a very bad thing

0:44:03 > 0:44:07and first it might not seem like it because you can just start wheezing,

0:44:07 > 0:44:10but then you can have an asthma attack and end up in hospital

0:44:10 > 0:44:15and then the last thing, that is the worst thing, is that they could die.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17So it is very serious.

0:44:18 > 0:44:25'My advice to the people who have friends that are asthmatic

0:44:25 > 0:44:26'or people in their class'

0:44:26 > 0:44:32that have asthma is if you get angry with them because they missed

0:44:32 > 0:44:36a day of school and then that's your partner or someone,

0:44:36 > 0:44:39don't get angry with them, because it's asthma

0:44:39 > 0:44:42'and you can't see it but it does affect them.'

0:44:44 > 0:44:47My best friends help me by asking the teacher

0:44:47 > 0:44:52if I can go with them in partners if I've missed out on that day,

0:44:52 > 0:44:56and they will tell me everything that we've missed, and help me.

0:45:02 > 0:45:06'My friends are very understanding because they know'

0:45:06 > 0:45:09that my asthma is very bad.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13'instead of running, they come and play with me'

0:45:13 > 0:45:18like hand games or slow games that I don't have to run about much.

0:45:18 > 0:45:20And that does really help me.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00My name is Robbie. I'm 11 years old and I live in Edinburgh.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08Some people might have really bad epilepsy

0:46:08 > 0:46:11where they have big seizures,

0:46:11 > 0:46:16but I just have absences, which is just like

0:46:16 > 0:46:22my eyelids fluttering and I just stop what I'm doing for 10 seconds.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35Of my friends, the people who have seen me have an absence,

0:46:35 > 0:46:38would be Cameron, because I spend a lot of time with them.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40It's almost like he goes to sleep

0:46:40 > 0:46:43and he just, for a couple of seconds - maybe about ten seconds,

0:46:43 > 0:46:47he'll just sort of go to sleep and just sort of sit there.

0:46:47 > 0:46:51You're talking to him and he won't have a clue you're talking to him.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54When he wakes up, he doesn't really know where he is, and he sometimes

0:46:54 > 0:46:57feels a bit dizzy and doesn't feel too well.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59He has a bit of a sore head for a wee while

0:46:59 > 0:47:01and then he just gets better pretty quickly.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04I've had an absence at skiing.

0:47:04 > 0:47:08He was just going up the tow, just over there, and I think he just

0:47:08 > 0:47:11went into it and he fell off the tow and didn't really know where he was,

0:47:11 > 0:47:14and kind of just got a bit dizzy and stuff like that.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17And then, in the British Championships training run,

0:47:17 > 0:47:21I had an absence just when I was about to turn,

0:47:21 > 0:47:23so I just carried on going straight,

0:47:23 > 0:47:27and when I woke up from there I just stopped,

0:47:27 > 0:47:30but I didn't know where I was, and people were shouting,

0:47:30 > 0:47:33"Go on, go on!" I was just like, "What?"

0:47:33 > 0:47:38It might not be as safe as if I didn't have epilepsy,

0:47:38 > 0:47:40but I just think if I want to do skiing

0:47:40 > 0:47:43then I should be allowed to do it.

0:47:45 > 0:47:49I also like rugby, mountain biking and judo.

0:48:02 > 0:48:07Doing rugby and judo, sometimes they can be quite dangerous sports

0:48:07 > 0:48:09to have epilepsy with.

0:48:15 > 0:48:21We practice strangles, hold-downs, hip throws and just normal throws.

0:48:25 > 0:48:29There's something called an arm lock, where you get somebody's arm

0:48:29 > 0:48:33in a certain position and if you carry on moving it,

0:48:33 > 0:48:35you could break their arm.

0:48:35 > 0:48:37So if I had an absence when that was happening,

0:48:37 > 0:48:40I could break my arm, because I wouldn't be able to tap

0:48:40 > 0:48:42and tell them to stop.

0:48:43 > 0:48:47But it's sort of a risk which I will have to take.

0:48:52 > 0:48:53I enjoy quite a lot at playtimes.

0:48:53 > 0:48:57I get to just be with my friends and we just do what we want.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07All of my friends know about my epilepsy

0:49:07 > 0:49:09because I thought, "It's nothing to be embarrassed about."

0:49:09 > 0:49:14I felt that my friends should know just in case I had an absence

0:49:14 > 0:49:17and they thought maybe I was ignoring them or something.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19I don't think epilepsy really does anything

0:49:19 > 0:49:23to anyone's friendship with Robbie but it's just when he has an absence

0:49:23 > 0:49:26everyone just gets a bit worried.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28It is not really something to be scared of

0:49:28 > 0:49:30when you see somebody having an absence,

0:49:30 > 0:49:33because it's basically just them getting on with their normal life,

0:49:33 > 0:49:34I guess.

0:49:34 > 0:49:38We're just carry on what we're doing afterwards.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42When he has an absence, you've just got to be a bit more supportive

0:49:42 > 0:49:44because he doesn't really know where he is

0:49:44 > 0:49:47and he's a little bit dizzy and sometimes gets headaches,

0:49:47 > 0:49:50so you need to support him and say, "Come on, Robbie. It's OK."

0:49:50 > 0:49:55What stops me having absences would be my medication.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58What makes me have absences is being tired.

0:49:58 > 0:50:00I have to take my medicine for two years

0:50:00 > 0:50:03and then I'll slowly stop taking it

0:50:03 > 0:50:08and then if I do grow out of it then it would be good

0:50:08 > 0:50:11but if I don't I'll just have to carry on taking it.

0:50:11 > 0:50:16Well, I just swallowed my tablets, and it hurts my throat.

0:50:16 > 0:50:21I've got to take two in the morning and two in the evening.

0:50:21 > 0:50:24It is not very nice, having to take them all the time.

0:50:24 > 0:50:28I'm always the last at the table because I'm a slow eater,

0:50:28 > 0:50:30and then I've got to take tablets.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33'But then again, it does do its job.'

0:50:33 > 0:50:39The bad thing would be having to take medication all the time.

0:50:39 > 0:50:42And the good thing would be getting a free bus pass

0:50:42 > 0:50:44and getting to meet other people with epilepsy

0:50:44 > 0:50:48and sharing experiences and just having fun.

0:50:55 > 0:51:01I go to Epilepsy Scotland, which is a group of a lot of people

0:51:01 > 0:51:02who have epilepsy.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Even some of the helpers have epilepsy.

0:51:07 > 0:51:12We do bowling, laser quest, go to the cinema,

0:51:12 > 0:51:15just go out on general trips out.

0:51:15 > 0:51:19The main point is to bring together other people with epilepsy,

0:51:19 > 0:51:24so then we can sort of talk about it, and when I was away on a trip,

0:51:24 > 0:51:27I saw everybody else taking their medication

0:51:27 > 0:51:30and I just thought, "Oh, I'm just one of them.

0:51:30 > 0:51:31"It's basically the same."

0:51:31 > 0:51:34Having epilepsy doesn't really stop me doing anything,

0:51:34 > 0:51:37because I just think I'm the same as anybody else.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39I don't really see his epilepsy that much.

0:51:39 > 0:51:42I only really see it when he has an absence.

0:51:42 > 0:51:46- He's just like any other friend. - We don't really care.- Yeah.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48Epilepsy doesn't make me that different,

0:51:48 > 0:51:50because I'm just the same as everybody else.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53I'm just a normal person.

0:52:19 > 0:52:23I'm Sophie and I'm nine years old.

0:52:25 > 0:52:30When I found out I had dyslexia, I felt sad

0:52:30 > 0:52:33and a little bit disappointed,

0:52:33 > 0:52:37because my mum said that I could get rid of it, but I couldn't.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40I could only wear it off a little bit.

0:52:42 > 0:52:47When I read, I sometimes miss out a line

0:52:47 > 0:52:49or I read a line again and again.

0:52:56 > 0:53:01It's hard when I can't read but I want to read.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05"At midnight, Mr Flinch clambered on...

0:53:05 > 0:53:09- "Clambered."- "Climbed."

0:53:09 > 0:53:13"Climbed on his... Onto his roof

0:53:13 > 0:53:17"and gulp...

0:53:17 > 0:53:22"Gu-l-ped. Gulped."

0:53:22 > 0:53:26- "Gulped." Clever girl.- "Gulped, and all the money was gone."

0:53:26 > 0:53:29'I mix up my letters a lot.'

0:53:29 > 0:53:32My Ps and my 9s are getting better

0:53:32 > 0:53:35but my Bs and my Ds are not. They're still bad.

0:53:50 > 0:53:54I'm good at ICT.

0:53:54 > 0:53:57I like doing literacy but I can't do it well.

0:53:57 > 0:54:01I have different spellings than everyone else because I'm dyslexic

0:54:01 > 0:54:03'and I can't help it.'

0:54:03 > 0:54:07"When lizard got close to the strange house..."

0:54:07 > 0:54:10People look at my spellings and say, "Those are your spellings?

0:54:10 > 0:54:12"They look really babyish."

0:54:13 > 0:54:15'You're not thick.'

0:54:15 > 0:54:19It's just something that you can't do. You do it in a different way.

0:54:19 > 0:54:24I've got to see or feel the letter, and then I'll know it.

0:54:24 > 0:54:29I've got B for beach and I've got sandpaper for "beach",

0:54:29 > 0:54:30so it feels like beach.

0:54:30 > 0:54:34And then I've got D for "dots" and it's all got dots on it.

0:54:34 > 0:54:39And then my P is the colour pink. P for "pink."

0:54:39 > 0:54:42But if it's a plain letter,

0:54:42 > 0:54:45I won't know which one is which. I'll just guess.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Sometimes I cry about my dyslexia,

0:54:49 > 0:54:53but I don't let other people know that I do that.

0:54:53 > 0:54:57They might think, "Oh, well, she's crying over dyslexia - big deal(!)"

0:54:57 > 0:55:02To me it's a big deal because I have it, and sometimes it affects me,

0:55:02 > 0:55:05but not all the time.

0:55:08 > 0:55:12'Dyslexia does not stop me from doing anything,'

0:55:12 > 0:55:18like ice-skating or athletics, because I push myself to do it

0:55:18 > 0:55:20so I learn new things.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25All of my friends have been nice about dyslexia

0:55:25 > 0:55:29and they think it doesn't change me anyway.

0:55:29 > 0:55:33They don't really notice that I've got it.

0:55:40 > 0:55:44If you've just met Sophie here, you wouldn't know she's dyslexic,

0:55:44 > 0:55:47because she was really good at the word game.

0:55:47 > 0:55:51She's really good at matching all the letters and words up.

0:55:51 > 0:55:54I don't think Sophie's dyslexia affects her

0:55:54 > 0:55:58in doing her sports and stuff like that.

0:55:59 > 0:56:04Help a child with dyslexia by supporting them,

0:56:04 > 0:56:07helping them with their writing, talking about things,

0:56:07 > 0:56:09like, "Are you all right?

0:56:09 > 0:56:13"Do you feel sad or anything?" About their feelings.

0:56:15 > 0:56:18Treat them the way they want to be treated.

0:56:18 > 0:56:21Don't be mean to them because if they can't spell a teeny-weeny word

0:56:21 > 0:56:24just help them on it, because they don't know how.

0:56:24 > 0:56:27They'll understand it and you'll be helping them.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44When I sew with my gran, it's really fun,

0:56:44 > 0:56:49because I do different things every week - cushions, clothes,

0:56:49 > 0:56:53presents for my mum and my dad for Christmas.

0:57:07 > 0:57:11My gran, when she was younger, she missed out a lot of her learning.

0:57:11 > 0:57:15She missed out, like me, on my phonics and stuff.

0:57:15 > 0:57:17When I'm sad sometimes,

0:57:17 > 0:57:20she says, "Don't worry - we're together in this."

0:57:27 > 0:57:30I feel different when I read, because I'm on lower stages,

0:57:30 > 0:57:36but I'm good at art and I like doing fashion design books.

0:57:36 > 0:57:39I like designing clothes.

0:57:41 > 0:57:46I want to be a fashion designer when I'm older. I like drawing patterns.

0:57:47 > 0:57:51I don't think dyslexia would affect my fashion at all.

0:58:01 > 0:58:04I feel confident about having dyslexia

0:58:04 > 0:58:09because my friends help me and they support me

0:58:09 > 0:58:13and they help me through my life sometimes.
