Young man if I can live this long while supporting my self you can to. I can see you got it in you also. I'm 64 spina bifta. I'm proud of you
Handsome. I wish you all the best Shakti. You are an inspiration and you are also VERY good looking. Kudos to your mom for all her support.
Thanks for your kind words! Hope you enjoyed our channel!
Very mature outlook and being real and honest about what life is like for him. All the best for his future to whatever he's got planned...
He's certainly got a bright future with his great attitude!
He's too hard on his kid self.... if he hadn't been that kid, he wouldn't be who he is now. If he'd been those things as a kid, he might have become bitter or withdrawn or anything... if you are ok with who you are now, you have to accept that you were always who you needed to be at that time. We are the sum total of our struggles, and we learn more from getting things wrong than we ever learn from getting them right.
I'm a spina bifida it this is encouraging to know that how much spina children & adults are there I'm 45 year old in a Spina bifida from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦

Hi, I have spina bifida. I'm not sure exactly what my specific diagnosis is, but from the research I have done, it seems most likely that the occulta form of spina bifida fits my case the closest. I have never had any issues with motor, verbal communication, or toileting skills, or even any intellectual disabilities. I do have autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and a thyroid issue, but I'm not sure that any of those are related to my spina bifida. I have never shown any physical signs that I might have spina bifida (such as a bulge in the affected area of my spine). This diagnosis was made when I had to have a scan, because I was having stomach distress.
