- Joanne O' Riordan was born with a rare physical condition known as Total Amelia - she has no limbs. There is no medical explanation for this condition, but despite this, Joanne and her family never allowed it to hold her back. In 2011, Joanne single-handedly lobbied the Irish government to reverse a proposed cut that would affect those with disabilities. In addition, she spoke at the United Nations in New York, explaining how technology has advanced her life. She is currently making a biographical documentary entitled "No Limbs No Limits".
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Joanna, you are an inspiration to so many people, like myself who is also disabled. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and have survived many years on this planet ( sometimes somewhere else lol).......the use of my computer has opened a new world to me whereupon I have met my best friend tho shes in Australia......I am a tad too old to try anything more physically than I have managed to do over the years. Like you I owe everything to my Mum and Dad and my aunt Bridie who was my mentor. I honor you
That was one of the most amazing videos i have ever seen!
What a wonderful, inspiring attitude Joanne has.
Well done Miss O' Riordan. That was an amazing speech. You are an inspiration your parents, brothers and sister are also an inspiration.

The video description is incorrect - there is an explanation for the condition. You can look it up on Wikipedia (in short: it's a genetic defect).
