Love the honesty here kal. So glad on how open you are with it all now days. I am sure a lot of others who are going through similar diagnosis will take a lot from a video like this one. :)
Thanks Georgey, that should definitely be its own video. I'll have to get in touch with some parents to get their tips also. I appreciate the consistent great ideas from you!
Thanks for sharing about your journey! It's good to see you are not alone with this - I related a lot. I was also diagnosed at 14/16 and now I am 31. Disclosing to friends and family is not easy, congrats on your courage to create this channel. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks Nicole! It definitely gets a bit easier when you find people going through the same thing. I really appreciate the kind words and I hope you're doing well :)
really informative video once again - so happy for you that you decided to tell everyone !! I’m excited for the next video and the Instagram content as well ☺️
Thanks for the continued support Bianca! It has definitely been a huge weight off my shoulders speaking out about it. Keen to get the Instagram going! :)
I relate to this. While I dont have fshd, I am partially blind in one eye although my other eye is correctable with glasses. It actually does really affect my life in sport and I cant drive also. But ive found things I can do..ive recently gotten into bouldering and rock climbing. its great and doesnt involve much depth perception since the boulders are right up close to my face. I also live near a train that I can take to work and gives me that mobility I need. My life is still great even with these challenges. Im also really open about it at work because sometimes I do need accommodations like a bigger screen or the ability to print things since looking at computer screens for too long hurts my eyes. My issue was due to a really shitty eye infection and isn't genetic but it def impacted my life alot. We all have challenges in life for sure and everyone has to adapt in some way I think.
Thanks for the comment Natasia! It's great that you've found some things that you can do and that provide you joy. I remember getting into bouldering a few years ago, it's very addictive! I really admire your attitude and how open you are about what you're going through. I agree that everyone has their own things going on and I think that's what makes people interesting and unique. It really is all about figuring out what you can do and being happy with that. I appreciate the comment :)

Great vid Kal, super interesting to think about how parents approach a progressive disability. I wonder if you have any tips for parents?
