    Thank you for this video 😭 it's alittle embarrassing to admit but I youtube search "living in japan with wheelchair" almost every month. I very recently became a wheelchair user and my dream has always been to work in japan, videos like this make me feel like I can still achieve my dreams 😭

    Sounds similar to Myotonic Dystrophy or something similar. I have that. It runs in my family. The muscles never let go. Always locked up.

    Very informative video. I also live in Japan and have seen train staff, etc., helping out wheelchair users in various situations, so it was interesting to hear a first hand experience.
    It sucks that her previous company was giving her a bunch of trouble about her being in a wheelchair. I'm glad to hear that on the whole she finds Japan to be pretty wheelchair accessible though.

    Thank you Delphine for sharing her story! I hope she has a physiotherapist also helping her so she doesn't get mitigate muscle atrophy from not walking as much.

    In the UK we have similar issues with prejudice against disabled people. It's not necessarily people in the medical field, but there are a lot of people who think everyone who is disabled unless they literally don't have legs they assume they are lying to get benefits or free parking. It's even worse for people with invisible disabilities where a person is able bodied but have chronic pain or feel tired very quickly, their problems are always dismissed because it's always assumed they are lying or exaggerating no matter what Doctor's say. It's made worse by the media and politicians who keep this narrative going. Even progressive people I know seem to have this attitude, I lived with someone with a series of issues and other housemates would insist she was lying or doing it for attention, all of these people would claim to be progressive and open minded in other ways. It shocked me how they acted, I didn't understand why they just went on this gut feeling that a person must be lying about their health issues.

      Yes it's very difficult process to get "approved" by doctors and people around you when you have an invisible sickness... Clearly, being in wheelchair helped my medical support but turning into wheelchair means also that my sickness got worst... It's non sense situation but for people with myopathies, neuro muscular syndrome, it takes years (life) to get diagnosed and finally get treatment...

      @@znanaeo4613 we desperately need more representation and education on disability in this country. I once had a colleague who had low immune system and various health issues who was sacked because she 'was off ill all the time'. Funnily enough shortly after that the pandemic happened and suddenly the company became a lot more comfortable with people working from home. It's such an impossible situation, how can someone be simultaneously pressured to work to get them off benefits, but employers have so much freedom to fire someone because of how their disability or chronic health issues affect them? It's the impossible catch 22 situation. At least the Nazis were up front about their eugenics schemes, the current government of the UK pretends they care but their actions say otherwise. We really desperately need society to be more compassionate, things are at breaking point.

    I saw a program in Japan with guests with a variety of disabilities (seen and unseen) and the challenges they face. The 2 hosts of the show went to several tourist locations with them to share their experiences. These interviews are necessary, keep up the good work.

    Thank you for raising awareness for ambulatory wheelchair users.

      There are more ambulatory wheelchair users than completely paralysed.
      We are just people sitting down.

    Whether she is a talented cinematic artist or a brilliant scientist in a wheelchair, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. There are many countries, like Canada, Netherlands, etc., that have regulations for the disabled. The American Federal Government passed a Rehabilitation Act in 1973 then a Disability Act in 1990. I live in California. California doubled down with more restrictive requirements within their building codes for
    accessibly to public buildings, accommodations, commercial buildings and public buildings.
    Basically, disabled persons have the right to live, work, play, and partake in experiences as others do without barriers.

    that sounds similar to what I have and I have been there where the doctor in Iceland said there is nothing wrong, my mom said to me just put up with it be strong but my dad said it might be the same as his and that he understood at least a bit. I do want to move to japan with my somewhat understanding boyfriend.

    half congolese? Well I guess my view was very old fashioned, I thought congolese people had like the darkest skin tone there is... thanks for educating me 🙏🏻

    She needed to prove her disability every week? That is disgusting. Surly there are disability rights activists in Japan, to help with job discrimination?

      Also, can I say the waiting for everything, being the last fir everything, going to the back of business to get in etc is NOT accessible, I use my chair for mobility and severe fatigue. I cant access the world much, cause of fatigue.
