- “Living My Own Life: Adults with Disabilities”
A film by Michael Loukinen, Ph.D.
Gail Jackson, Becky Briggs and Debbie Patterson each had a dream to live an independent, productive and satisfying life.
DDI, in collaboration with the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council and several council projects, created the “Living My Own Life” video to tell their stories of triumph.

I wonder how are these people doing today, I hope that they are l still living independently as much as possible.
The ones who have friends are real lucky
I'm Raising my disabled granddaughter. I've had her since she was 4 months. She is now 6. This is my hope for her. I always say...its not what Riley can't do, It's what she can do. And she is thieving!
Hope everything works out for you guys
God Bless you and your Granddaughter 🙏✝️😇💜
Also teach her to advocate for herself. That will be important as she grows into adulthood.
theiving ? is she a petty criminal
@@JadeRavenwolf They mean thriving.
I have a message for parents of adults with disabilities who want to live independently, find a way for your adult child to live in the community while making sure that they have the support that they need to able to function safely . It can be done I'm a adult with CP who has been living in the community for almost 20 years with the proper supports in place. It's hard but it's doable.

People with special needs are beautiful people in the world
I Love this video and I so enjoyed watching. People with disabilities are such an awesome and amazing people.
Me too. Thank goodness they all talk.
This documentary honestly makes me smile ive lived in group homes for a while but me personally its more of a bittersweet memory (because my meds i was on werent necessary) plus having my paycap SUCKS
Most doctors overmedicate. In the US, we tend to think there’s a pill for everything, even for the normal problems encountered because of our common humanity. If that were true, we’d empty the hospitals, nursing homes, jails, no more divorces, no more wars. Just give Putin and Zelensky a peace pill every morning and evening. Sweet days, restful nights.
Seriously, my nephew with ADHD, ODD, on the autistic spectrum, depression, anxiety, you name the condition. Every day he took up to 36 pills at age 13, got expelled from three schools, had fits of rage in which he was violent. He punched and kicked holes in the walls, destroyed furniture, tore doors off of walls and cabinets, vandalized property, and finally, after various programs and group homes, about every kind of therapy, he got sent up to juvy for assaulting his mother and a teacher. That he added daily vaping of cannabis to his routine didn’t help, although he thought so. He got 2 1/2 years. Along came Covid and they sent away everyone who could possibly go home. And the caretakers were on their own, no support other than 15 minutes on Zoom per week. He was able to recognize the warning signs and to remove himself from volatile situations. He also started to apologize if he did fly into a rage. He started working, secretly, on his GED and when schools opened up, he checked them out with his mother. The three schools he got kicked out of refused to take him back. His mother found a small private boys’ middle and high school. He visited for two days and was hooked. He’ll graduate in June and plans to stay for one, maybe two years of college/seminary. And btw, the only meds he takes are for his asthma when it flares up. Sure, he still has a temper and can be morose at times, but he has learned to use socially acceptable outlets to vent; physical work outdoors, playing the saxophone, singing as loud as he wants, in the woods! Oh, and best of all, he’s looking forward to making his bar mitzvah in July! He’ll turn 18, but better late than never! When he as very young, he was religious, loved to go with his grandpa to schul, but he fell away and fell apart starting at age 10, Grandpa passed and the next year, his parents divorced, not amicably. His father stopped coming around and quit paying child support. My sister went back to work full-time rather than spend all the time and money to get his father extradited to the U.S. We can’t help but wonder if things would have better had he never taken a single psychiatric med. No, matter, my real nephew is back.
@@mariekatherine5238 well bless your nephew broken now doesnt mean broken forever the system will never acknowledge that(unfortunately) most on the spectrum people tend to age out of their symptoms or quirks
Respect to the people and parents
I really enjoyed watching this video thank you for sharing it.
This is very cool 👍 I love this story ☺️
I wish that I could have help to have my own house and my own pets. I am in a trust but I would really love a place of my own and I just need support to get to the shops for groceries. I don’t want to have a landlord who tells me what to do. I get told what I can’t do and not support to live my dreams. I can do my own washing but I sometimes need support in that. I wish I could choose my house 😊I wish I was In control as well
Most of them have gone to heaven by now😇
2024 ❤ thanks for sharing
How can anyone suggest we give you our child at any age and letting go sooner is not easier for us parents or our child who didn't ask to be here.
Rayford & Debbie are lit! lol
rayford died in february 2009
i dont know why youtube deleted my comment other than they are assholes but like i said before rayford is deceased
dont they have rules on what you can and cant do though if you live alone with disabilities ? i have a heart problem with a peace maker how would they treat me if i live alone ?
They are adults they hire their own staff they tell their staff what they canning can’t do because the staff are coming into their home they’re living their life just the way anyone else would leave there’s and that’s important
Things would be put in place for you, in case anything happened, youd perhaps be given one of those "life lines" where you push a button that you keep round your neck, to get emergency help. Its still doable
The Administrator is fabulous
People and their choices are the drive what happens ! Not the administrator
