I’m the girl in the green and I cannot thank everyone enough for such a beautiful experience. I’ve never been able to share my story before and I couldn’t have asked for a better platform and team to work with❤️
Kate, you are such a sweet and strong person! I wish you all the love in the world, from the bottom of my heart. I loved when you talked about what you did to make life more meaningful. I have been thinking a lot about what makes life meaningful in the past few months. In the end, all of us should reflect and act about it, since no one knows when our last day is gonna be. Thank you very much for sharing your story.
I’m autistic and I love that Austin was super empathetic and the one initiating hugs with people. There’s such a bad stereotype that autistic people are apathetic and it’s sooooo untrue. Yeah I struggle to read emotions but I still feel them😵💫

Up until Austin spoke out, I noticed how helpful & supportive he was for others just through his actions. So it warmed my heart for him to open up & let the group support him. Austin, I hope you know that you have an extraordinary heart & you deserve to exist happily & peacefully. Much love & life to you, friend ❤
My secret is somtimes i feel like im " not disabled enough" to request help or accomodations but i also feel like im " too disabled" to be considered normal and be able to do what most others see as easy. Edit: thank you so much everyone for the love and support. Y'all have made me feel much better about my disability. Bless y'all, have a great day 💕
Yess literally these videos are so sweet there’s like a bunch of strangers with one common experience bringing them together and being there for each other ❤
Omg when Herby turned around and saw that EVERYONE stood up and felt the same as he did, and screamed 'family!' I cried. My heart. I pray all of these people are happy and blesses every single day ❤ 🙏
Omg who was cutting onions this episode.. I loved every person on this video and I appreciate all of them for telling their story. Also I hope Melanie sees this!
hi, i’m the person in the thumbnail! this was such a beautiful experience and i can not emphasize enough how lovely all these people are, inside and out. so much was edited out, but we all bonded this day. we saw each other and our worst fears as strangers and came out as friends. thank you jubilee for this experience ❤️
Everything you said in this was so beautiful❤️ I was sad to not get to hear what you had to say as in your “secret” (unless they cut it because you didn’t want it revealed of course, that is 100% your choice) but I was so grateful to be able to hear the ways you supported everyone else and to learn about your experiences. I’m not sure what you do with your life now, but as a therapist, I just want to say you would be absolutely amazing in the mental health field☺️💗 I have worked with many clients with mental health disabilities of course but not many with physical disabilities and this video was so helpful to me to start to gain a better understanding of that experience. Thank you again for everything you shared!❤️
I completely agree. This was one of my favorites. I hope they bring them back and brand new people. There’s so many people with disabilities out there, including myself awareness is key.
Thanks for having me! Truly so grateful that I had this opportunity to share my life, as well as having the privilege to do so continuously with my youtube videos❤️
Thank how much for sharing about your life, Rickey! I loved hearing about it. It is so interesting that you shared how you are afraid to live alone, and that you actually can’t, so you live with your parents. Then, I also noticed that you seem to elude confidence. I wonder if part of that is due to living with your parents and in a sense always having them in your corner, while many of the others are expected to become independent, and move out on their own. While you don’t have the independence that you desire, you probably always have that “village” that others would like to have; however, they are expected to be independent and at times, they do not feel supported. I can tell by your demeanor and seeming confidence that you were probably raised by supportive parents who encouraged you to do what you love and not to let your “disability” define you. It was nice “meeting” you today! Hugs!! 🤗🤗
@@TheWorldIsMyOyster17 thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have such a supportive family, and I've learned to look at my condition not as an obstacle but as a vehicle to be a light and hopefully inspire
My Wife is a paraplegic, we were together before her accident and since then we’ve gotten married and had two beautiful babies. I know she has thoughts like these and doesn’t tell me, I just pray she knows that she is our whole world and we couldn’t do this without her. She’s everything to me and I know our babies feel the same. If you read this Storm, the girls and I love you more than air.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without you by my side! Thank you for being there for me in one of the most hardest moments in my life. I’m so lucky to have you “standing” by my side ❤ 🥰
I love that Austin was so empathetic towards others, and I can see why. People are so cruel, especially to Autistic people I think. I speak for all of us when I say we are so happy you’re here, Austin. Sending you, and everyone else, tons of love ❤
people think autistic people arent able to feel empathy but i think its the complete opposite, we feel things to an extreme extent because of the weight of the world and feeling so different, austin showed this well, i hope hes doing well❤
@@yercjesus A lot does and a lot does not. I am autistic. I have low affective empathy and high cognitive empathy. I can look at someone crying and not feel much, but I understand why they cry and want to help. But I don't want to do anything about their emotions I want to help their situation. I am not naturally soothing. I am a problem fixer.
As someone who lives in a country where mental disabilities are merely considered, they are not even diagnosed or even talked about, it's hard. You just have to "grow up" and "be positive". I resonated so much with Herby. Hugs to everyone in this episode and everyone going through it.
@@altaccount9716 I think i misinterpreted your comment but maybe in their country since its not common for them to go to mental health facilities (or might be looked down upon) that they do the following, "grow up", "be positive"
@@altaccount9716 for some people diagnosis is not possible but there are enough resources to know what u have... if you constantly feel bad i don't think it's harf to tell something is wrong
You are a brain in a bio-robot. Get your robot impaired and you have a disabled body. Get your brain impaired and YOU become disabled. Mental disorders and disabilities are no less serious than physical ones.
@@Robzabest25 typically individuals with BPD will undergo DBT therapy and group therapy as well as trying specific medications that can help manage symptoms. DBT specifically is designed for people with BPD but it can also be used to help people with PTSD and other forms of trauma. It essentially teaches people who have not learned the skills of self-management and coping with their emotions, a way to manage and an opportunity to better develop their personality
I have epilepsy too, u def not alone, grand mal, tonic atonic i think, and absence, literally the only reason y I watched this video, gives me some motivation to try and overcome this annoying disorder
@@Livingdeadskeleton hey! I related to you the most. I am autistic too and it can be so so tragic at times. I really wish we were friends.❤ thank you so much Austin🥰 And you are very cute...lol
when austin spoke. i cried. i cried when everyone comforted them. i’m autistic too, and even though i wasn’t apart of this group, i felt immensely supported.
Those kids who went to highschool with Austin really missed out on having an amazing friend like him. He was amazing towards everyone during this video ✿ tbh the whole group was awesome
6:55 As someone with a rare genetic condition navigating life with a disability which I never had affect me at all for 20 years of life, I feel this woman so hard. So so hard. It took years to get diagnosed and now that I am there’s no treatment because it’s so rare. My heart breaks for you ❤
I have a rare genetic condition that's incurable and related to that part (and your comment), as well. With genetic disabilities there's the extra trauma of watching your family members suffer from the same condition, knowing you can't do anything to help them and knowing that that will be your future. Anyway, hugs to both of you and anyone going through the same. I hope the next generations won't have to worry about these conditions the same way we do.
I have similar! Gluten intolerance is not or not often enough diagnosed that I suffered many years. In my case it was diagnosed by an accident. In Poland 1% of people has it. I think at least in my situation it could be by genes (and that I was obliviously eating gluten), cuz my aunt and grandma has similar symptoms, but didn't diagnosed to this day. I feel ya all 😢.
As an autistic woman myself, I tend to feel very alone. Like Austin said, feels like casper the ghost. This video made me cry and feel less alone in this world. Thank you, and I hope to one day find a group of friends of people just like me in the real world.
As a fellow disabled person, this video made me feel so seen! Even the secrets that I couldn't directly relate to, I still could draw parallels to my own experience. What a lovely group of people, it was a pleasure to laugh and cry with you!
17:16 I cried 😭 even though I don't exactly know what it's like to have a disability, I do relate to that feeling of constantly believing that something is wrong with you. I love how they were all there for him 🥺💖 it was super sweet!
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 My condition is called Retinopathy of prematurity. I was born early and given a lot of oxygen, and my eyes weren't developed. There are so many varying degrees of vision loss and blindness, and many different conditions that cause it.
I am legally/nearly blind, i cant tell you how often id go into a job interview and as soon as i mention that, you can feel and hear the uninterest.. the judging. Legally they can't say its because of my disability they wont hire me but.. you always know its because of that and it really hurts over and over again. I've lived alone for 8 years, i can do things, i just need a chance. It makes me feel like a burden.
Kate is so strong. I’ve known her all growing up. She is the fiercest, most compassionate person I know. It’s so amazing to see how much she fights to be an advocate and a great person in our community. I am so proud of her
As someone who is disabled. I literally started crying as soon as the narrator asked the first question because I know I’m about to listen to 22 minutes of people who understand me and what I go through everyday
I’m a mother to a severely intellectually disabled preteen. I love him so much, even when he stresses me out with concerns for his safety. My biggest fears as his parent are who will care for him when I’m unable to or gone & how I can financially support him and provide 24/7 care for him simultaneously. There are a programs & support for children with disabilities, but as they become adults, those resources often dwindle and disappear 😢 My oldest is on the autism spectrum but I worry a lot less about him now that he has a best friend. He met another Autistic boy & it has made a huge difference just to have that one kid he knows will always sit with him at lunch, come to his birthday, not get bothered by him going off topic & being awkward. Finding each other has boosted both of their confidence.
I'm taking a class called demystifying disability and I have a paper I'm writing that covers how disabled people's thoughts, opinions and experiences are often ignored. 1 am going to use this video.
As someone with Aspergers, I completely empathise with the work thing. People treat you differently when they know, treat you like a special case. I don't want that, I wanted to be treated like any other person.
I'm glad they invited someone who's clearly very empathetic and could read the other people well enough to know when they may need comfort. I hate the stereotype that people with ASD don't have (as many) emotions. One reason why I don't want to get diagnosed
@@spulwasser Absolutely. I suppose it just usually comes down to people with ASD expressing emotion in different ways to neurotypicals. A lot of people on the spectrum do care, just some have trouble expressing that care in a way that neurotypicals can understand. Others like the person in the video have less trouble. But all around it is a silly stereotype.
3:45 i dealt with this in the workplace due to my disabilities. my previous boss completely micromanaged me when my diagnosis came in. when i was trialing my medications, there were issues with adapting, so i was let go due to that. On my papers, they put "shortage of work" as my reasoning to be let go. i was an employee for 5+ years there and as soon as my disability was giving me visible struggles, I was tossed away. it destroyed me.
As an autistic person, the anxiety, trauma and depression many of us go through is really important to talk about. I love seeing people coming together like this. Many can relate to others in some way or another and especially with people with disabilities, many of us can understand each other to a point ❤️ I struggle a lot mentally and often feel hopeless. I have anxiety everyday all day and doing "simple things" is hard for me like showering, cooking, getting dressed and going out when I'm not feeling like it. I get very overwhelmed and have sensory issues. I just moved from home and it's exhausting and overwhelming but I hope I can get help with that. I also hope I can get more mental help but my countrys resources are so small rn but I still hope I can manage to take care of myself better and be able to work eventually ❤️
This is so heavy and so touching. As a disabled person myself, I cried tons and related to so much and absolutely loved all the kindness and compassion and empathy they all showed for each other. Thank you all, everyone in this video for doing this 💜 Much love
Oh sweet Austin. My sister is Autistic. I have Cerebral Palsy, PTSD, and chronic pain and migraines. I highly suspect I’m Autistic too. I have been through that too. So many in the disability community struggle with depression in this ableist world. You are not alone. You are loved and needed.
The way I cried so hard when Austin cried, for feeling the same way but not even having a disability and feeling even weaker and more worthless because of that...
Just like they told Austen - it's not your fault, it's the system and other people who make you feel that way. I am autistic and relate a lot to Austen, but you don't have to be disabled to struggle. It doesn't make you weak. You are just in the wrong place with the wrong people. Also, you might want to look into the symptoms of CPTSD, because they are very similar to ASD and even if that is not the answer for why you are struggling, you might find help that still applies to you. And there is of course also a possibility that you are actually autistic without knowing it. 😉
I wish that they hadn’t cut out some of the “secrets”, I noticed that not everyone had theirs kept in. Great video nonetheless but I feel it’s important for everyone to be heard.
Re: the being an unreliable employee, it's such an issue. Employers would benefit greatly if they made more room to be more inclusive and accommodate these people. I get it that it is inconvenient to you to have an employee who is absent a lot. But to disabled people, being excluded over and over again when several of us know what we can contribute in society most of the time is so soul-crushing. We don't want to be absent either. Yes if someone can only attend 90% of the time it means 1 day per two work weeks, you may have to scramble but that little bit of disability element you take on is so meaningful and empowering so that we can contribute our light and nothing compared to the large inconvenience our disabilities or not being employed or being excluded has on us. Even if that statistic is less than 90%, it is still so important and very possible.
So glad asd and bi-polar was mentioned. Austin is great and if you ever see this I cried you moved me with your situation and I’m so glad you’re here🥹. I too noticed how you naturally nurtured others. We have GREAT ability to love deeply and I hope you have many people surrounding&loving you!
I became a quadriplegic in July 2020 from a diving accident at the age of 19. I struggle with a lot of what was mentioned in this video. It made me feel so seen! to hear that I am not alone in a lot of my struggles is so comforting. Jubilee, thank you for giving a voice to this group of amazing individuals. You have no idea how much it helps people like me. And I can relate to a singer keeping me alive. Luke Combs is that person for me. I listened to his music every day I was in the hospital and continue to every day since coming home. One day I hope to thank him in person for everything he has done for me.
This wasn't long enough Jubilee. I love learning more about other people's challenges/perspective. It helps me be a more understanding and compassionate being. Please more of these videos!!!
I love everybody in this video... Also Austin walking around hugging everyone, because he knows the pain of depression. That boy is golde, even though he might not feel it. I hope he reads this.
I’m so glad that these beautiful souls could come together to share their experiences. I was crying the whole time . Not out of pity for them , but for their strength and their light despite their circumstances. The fact that most of them didn’t feel worthy of love completely broke me . I can relate in so many ways . I’m glad that this video found me . I hope that more videos like these are uploaded . This was very insightful and heart warming . Thank you all for sharing and representing so many groups . I hope that you all have a life full of love and community 💚✨
i’m on my period and i’m disabled and this video made me cry so hard. i’m so grateful for the representation and the introspection and support and care. this conversation is one a lot of people need to hear on both sides , disabled and able bodied. thank you so much
These seriously warm my heart seeing others relate to others. Keep doing these it's like group therapy. You are all still loveable and worthy. Austin is a truly beautiful human, he comforts everyone else. Had me balling 😭 I hope they all get lunch after this.
I'm autistic and felt so seen after hearing Austin's words. It was so amazing to see someone who has the same disability as me and has gone through the same feelings. Thanks so much for making this video.
I felt so bad watching this episode hearing how much these people struggled. I just wanted to give them all a hug, and I'm autistic and dont like physical touch. Glad Austin was there to do it for me and I feel like we're so similar it's scary. These people deserve the best
Having a disability is hard. I have BPD and it’s gotten me fired from jobs. Maintaining relationships snd friendships are hard. I have thought of ending it all multiple times. I felt how Austin like why can’t I do this when I feel so much pain. Thanks for this video. It definitely made me feel better about me. Being a black woman with a mental health disorder it’s a small lonely world but I’m hopeful things are getting better for the mental health advocates out there.
I deeply feel the question about love, I am blind, I have had a few romantic relationships where people have told me they love me and I just couldn’t believe it and pushed them away, I know it’s a mental barrier I need to get over but I just don’t know how
I’m disabled and my friend is also blind and we talk about this. She says she just wants to feel desired like her other friends, and that so often men will talk to her because they feel bad for her. But there has been a time when she described a scenario that sounded like the person really liked her, and she refused to believe it
@@LinseighOfficial Honestly, I think that people need to just take what they can get. According to today's silly rules, it is shameful to for non-disabled to date disabled, because "we" can do "better", but can we? In today's age, if anybody goes on a date, then it's a huge accomplishment. According to the silly rules, the same shame goes in reverse: it' shameful for a disabled person to date somebody just because the abled person feels sympathy. At the end of the day, I'd rather see loyal people get together to support each other, sympathy or not. Honestly, though, most people don't commit out of sympathy, so the issue is moot.
Sending so much love to everyone involved. Disability comes in all shapes and forms, thank you for showing that! There were a few that I hadn't even heard of. It was so hard to hear how isolating and discriminating the world can be against disabilities. Everyone deserves to be fully loved, cared for, and given opportunities, even if it means they need a little extra help
I have cronic pain, and ASD, ADHD, PTSD, Social anxiety, Depersonalization-derealization disorder. And in my family they don’t accept have disabilities… so they don’t talk about it or validate them.. It’s been hard to accept i have them… and they are real…
This whole group just made me feel so validated and reminded me I'm not alone. It wasn't so long ago that people with disabilities were treated as complete societal outcasts who had no business leaving their homes and being in public. I'm so thankful for the progress, connection, and community we have now. Thank you all for sharing 🫶
I've been dealing with these type of secrets all by myself because I have no disabled friends who understand. This video made me cry and made me feel less alone and I wish I could give all of them a hug.
This was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same. It made me feel less alone in the pain I’ve had to fight with. Relating to so much of these words, it’s difficult to hear it out in the open, but it’s beautiful that strangers can become friends and offer this support. I feel like I need support groups like this!
This episode made me bawl my eyes out. I am autistic with adhd and ptsd and often feel so isolated and unlovable. The things all of these beautiful people talked about made me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you all of you for sharing.
Oh my gosh the things I could say about my own experience. Ugh 😣 Much love to all of these people and thank you for letting us in. ❤️ We all share so many similar experiences being disabled. The constant grieving of what could have been. It’s so hard.
I relate to Austin so much I was so depressed because of my disability in middle and high school I felt like no one understood me and it was incredibly isolating!! I hope one day for a better world that is accepting of people who have disabilities! This was such a great video!
This one of the only Jubilee videos where genuinely every person was so well spoken, compassionate, and someone I could relate to. We desperately need more disabled spaces to share these kind of things as being disabled can be so isolating and exhausting. Thank you everyone in this video for sharing your experiences you made everyone feel less alone.
I’m glad that Jubilee displayed the ups and downs of having disabilities. They all shared positive growth but also wished that they wouldn’t be disabled. That is accurate. Being sad about your situation is a very normal thing. I feel like some advocates are too hard on keeping up with the “disabled but happy life” that they feel life talking about the struggle is harmful. PS theses are amazing and very brave souls
17:34 I feel the same way, I struggle with anxiety, depression, bpd and ocd. sometimes I feel like I’m not meant to be here, it’s hard to make friends, I feel like push everyone out my life. I feel like sometimes I’m too much for someone to truly love.
I really relate to Austin. I also have autism and every word he said resonated within me so deeply, it brought me to tears. I also adore Melanie Martinez and feel similarly that she helped convey a message I felt I never could. I always felt like an alien in the world, misunderstood, and seeing someone who feels so similarly to me is indescribably comforting. Austin, if you see this: I'm SO glad you're still here. You're an incredible person and I truly wish you success in everything you do
This episode was so emotional for me. I became disabled at 22 (currently 26) and related so much to what everyone said. While I sobbed A LOT, it felt like one big group hug too. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and stories ❤️
Thank you Jubilee for recognizing the importance of content like this. One of the most isolating parts of being disabled is the fact that we often don’t get to connect with the rest of our community IRL. Disability can be a very lonely experience when you’re surrounded by able-bodied people who can’t understand the physical and mental reality. I can promise you, this one meeting will stay with each one of them for their whole lives. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I have Autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, adhd, mild phobia, migrane. My life is too much. I just wish I was normal and live like other people. Everyday is a struggle. I struggle doing lits of things like going out, doing my everyday normal routine or activities, meeting new people.I haven't feel happy in a long time. I just can't relate to all the the other people I feel like i stood out in weird way. I wish life is easier. I don't know how to function. I am not sure about my future. People don't have knowledge about my disabilities and even if they know they look down on me. I don't choose to be born like this. I just wanna live a fulfilled life.
melanie martinez’s music (specifically, the ‘crybaby’ album) helped so many people through high school and tough times in general, the amount of lives she must have saved has got to be millions. i hope melanie realizes the impact she had on so many young people all over the world and that she understands how she changed so many of our lives.
6:47 my daughter has pots syndrome and she has similar issues as her. She’s 24 and this started after a car accident that involved many leg surgeries. After the last surgery a year and a half ago the pots started. 7 months ago she had a stroke. I’m thankful we have insurance but like she said some procedures are not covered by it.

I'd love it if these specific people came back for followup. I want to see their progression.
@@eugenetswongMe too.
I completely agree. This was one of my favorites. I hope they bring them back and brand new people. There’s so many people with disabilities out there, including myself awareness is key.
True.
Thanks for having me! Truly so grateful that I had this opportunity to share my life, as well as having the privilege to do so continuously with my youtube videos❤️
Thank how much for sharing about your life, Rickey! I loved hearing about it. It is so interesting that you shared how you are afraid to live alone, and that you actually can’t, so you live with your parents. Then, I also noticed that you seem to elude confidence. I wonder if part of that is due to living with your parents and in a sense always having them in your corner, while many of the others are expected to become independent, and move out on their own. While you don’t have the independence that you desire, you probably always have that “village” that others would like to have; however, they are expected to be independent and at times, they do not feel supported.
I can tell by your demeanor and seeming confidence that you were probably raised by supportive parents who encouraged you to do what you love and not to let your “disability” define you.
It was nice “meeting” you today!
Hugs!! 🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing. ❤
@@TheWorldIsMyOyster17 thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words. Yes, I have such a supportive family, and I've learned to look at my condition not as an obstacle but as a vehicle to be a light and hopefully inspire
Fun fact I saw your comment the moment u finished talking in the video
you are a delightful person and showed so much courage, strength, and empathy.
My Wife is a paraplegic, we were together before her accident and since then we’ve gotten married and had two beautiful babies. I know she has thoughts like these and doesn’t tell me, I just pray she knows that she is our whole world and we couldn’t do this without her. She’s everything to me and I know our babies feel the same. If you read this Storm, the girls and I love you more than air.
Mad props for stepping up. You're awesome!
Tell her often. Not here. She needs to hear it and would love to hear it. That’s very sweet.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without you by my side! Thank you for being there for me in one of the most hardest moments in my life. I’m so lucky to have you “standing” by my side ❤ 🥰
I love that Austin was so empathetic towards others, and I can see why. People are so cruel, especially to Autistic people I think. I speak for all of us when I say we are so happy you’re here, Austin. Sending you, and everyone else, tons of love ❤
🖤
Hear hear sending u love Austin❤
people think autistic people arent able to feel empathy but i think its the complete opposite, we feel things to an extreme extent because of the weight of the world and feeling so different, austin showed this well, i hope hes doing well❤
@@yercjesus A lot does and a lot does not. I am autistic. I have low affective empathy and high cognitive empathy. I can look at someone crying and not feel much, but I understand why they cry and want to help. But I don't want to do anything about their emotions I want to help their situation. I am not naturally soothing. I am a problem fixer.
As someone who lives in a country where mental disabilities are merely considered, they are not even diagnosed or even talked about, it's hard. You just have to "grow up" and "be positive".
I resonated so much with Herby.
Hugs to everyone in this episode and everyone going through it.
If they're not diagnosed how do you know you have one? Genuine question.
What country are you from? I could understand your pov as well coming from a polynesian household.
@@altaccount9716 I think i misinterpreted your comment but maybe in their country since its not common for them to go to mental health facilities (or might be looked down upon) that they do the following, "grow up", "be positive"
@@altaccount9716 for some people diagnosis is not possible but there are enough resources to know what u have... if you constantly feel bad i don't think it's harf to tell something is wrong
@@tyzchillin Interesting. I'm from Zambia, in Africa.
this episode has me in absolute tears, all of these people deserve nothing but happiness.
I agree! 😢
Thank you for including people with invisible disabilities in this! A lot of times we’re looked over, so thank you for seeing us too! ❤
That is so true dude I've seen so many hurtful comments
Ikr? ✨✨✨
Yes! 💜💜
As someone in active treatment for BPD, thank you so much for including people with mental disabilities
You are a brain in a bio-robot. Get your robot impaired and you have a disabled body. Get your brain impaired and YOU become disabled. Mental disorders and disabilities are no less serious than physical ones.
Yeah
how is bpd treated? just wondering your journey
@@Robzabest25 typically individuals with BPD will undergo DBT therapy and group therapy as well as trying specific medications that can help manage symptoms. DBT specifically is designed for people with BPD but it can also be used to help people with PTSD and other forms of trauma. It essentially teaches people who have not learned the skills of self-management and coping with their emotions, a way to manage and an opportunity to better develop their personality

when austin spoke. i cried. i cried when everyone comforted them. i’m autistic too, and even though i wasn’t apart of this group, i felt immensely supported.
I cried too. And I really started crying when he got all that support.
Same im happy we autistic folks can be so open about this ❤
Those kids who went to highschool with Austin really missed out on having an amazing friend like him. He was amazing towards everyone during this video ✿ tbh the whole group was awesome
The way they comfort and care for one another really touches me! Beautiful people!!

6:55 As someone with a rare genetic condition navigating life with a disability which I never had affect me at all for 20 years of life, I feel this woman so hard. So so hard. It took years to get diagnosed and now that I am there’s no treatment because it’s so rare. My heart breaks for you ❤
I’m sending you so much love and strength, rare diseases are a beast but you aren’t alone. Thank you for hearing my story❤️
@@katesterquell7035 Kate, and all, thanks for sharing!
I have a rare genetic condition that's incurable and related to that part (and your comment), as well. With genetic disabilities there's the extra trauma of watching your family members suffer from the same condition, knowing you can't do anything to help them and knowing that that will be your future. Anyway, hugs to both of you and anyone going through the same. I hope the next generations won't have to worry about these conditions the same way we do.
I have similar! Gluten intolerance is not or not often enough diagnosed that I suffered many years. In my case it was diagnosed by an accident. In Poland 1% of people has it. I think at least in my situation it could be by genes (and that I was obliviously eating gluten), cuz my aunt and grandma has similar symptoms, but didn't diagnosed to this day.
I feel ya all 😢.
As an autistic woman myself, I tend to feel very alone. Like Austin said, feels like casper the ghost. This video made me cry and feel less alone in this world. Thank you, and I hope to one day find a group of friends of people just like me in the real world.
As a fellow disabled person, this video made me feel so seen! Even the secrets that I couldn't directly relate to, I still could draw parallels to my own experience. What a lovely group of people, it was a pleasure to laugh and cry with you!
Same!
I completely feel that! I'm physically disabled and have mental health problems too
Thank you for including someone with Down Syndrome ❤️ People tend to think they can't be part of an "adult conversation", but they absolutely can!
17:16 I cried 😭 even though I don't exactly know what it's like to have a disability, I do relate to that feeling of constantly believing that something is wrong with you. I love how they were all there for him 🥺💖 it was super sweet!
I think most of us, no matter our condition, feel that way, at least at times.
The blind girl is so beautiful someone tell her some one said that.❤
I am the blind girl. Thank you. 🩷🤗
I agree
May I ask, how did you go blind?
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 My condition is called Retinopathy of prematurity. I was born early and given a lot of oxygen, and my eyes weren't developed. There are so many varying degrees of vision loss and blindness, and many different conditions that cause it.
@@preciousperezmusica omg you’re sooooo amazing i actually love u 🩵
I am legally/nearly blind, i cant tell you how often id go into a job interview and as soon as i mention that, you can feel and hear the uninterest.. the judging. Legally they can't say its because of my disability they wont hire me but.. you always know its because of that and it really hurts over and over again. I've lived alone for 8 years, i can do things, i just need a chance. It makes me feel like a burden.
You will get that chance, my friend, and it will be perfect. It's on the way I believe it with all my heart.
I used to got to school next to a recruiter that helped disabled people get jobs. You might need to team up with someone like that.
Kate is so strong. I’ve known her all growing up. She is the fiercest, most compassionate person I know. It’s so amazing to see how much she fights to be an advocate and a great person in our community. I am so proud of her
As someone who is disabled. I literally started crying as soon as the narrator asked the first question because I know I’m about to listen to 22 minutes of people who understand me and what I go through everyday
I thought the same thing, I almost turned this video off more than once only because it hits way too close to home and was a little overwhelming.
Austin deserves everything.
🫶
I’m a mother to a severely intellectually disabled preteen. I love him so much, even when he stresses me out with concerns for his safety. My biggest fears as his parent are who will care for him when I’m unable to or gone & how I can financially support him and provide 24/7 care for him simultaneously.
There are a programs & support for children with disabilities, but as they become adults, those resources often dwindle and disappear 😢
My oldest is on the autism spectrum but I worry a lot less about him now that he has a best friend. He met another Autistic boy & it has made a huge difference just to have that one kid he knows will always sit with him at lunch, come to his birthday, not get bothered by him going off topic & being awkward. Finding each other has boosted both of their confidence.
I'm taking a class called demystifying disability and I have a paper I'm writing that covers how disabled people's thoughts, opinions and experiences are often ignored. 1 am going to use this video.
You should also check out some non speaking autistic activists, Damon Kirsebom is one that comes to mind
As someone with Aspergers, I completely empathise with the work thing. People treat you differently when they know, treat you like a special case. I don't want that, I wanted to be treated like any other person.
Normal people treat each other like crap. Is it better than special treatment?
I'm glad they invited someone who's clearly very empathetic and could read the other people well enough to know when they may need comfort. I hate the stereotype that people with ASD don't have (as many) emotions. One reason why I don't want to get diagnosed
The issue is most people with a disability would be fired if they were ‘treated like any other person’
@@Bringon-dw8dx I suppose? Depends on what disability and the severity of said disability- But I get your point
@@spulwasser Absolutely. I suppose it just usually comes down to people with ASD expressing emotion in different ways to neurotypicals. A lot of people on the spectrum do care, just some have trouble expressing that care in a way that neurotypicals can understand. Others like the person in the video have less trouble. But all around it is a silly stereotype.
3:45 i dealt with this in the workplace due to my disabilities. my previous boss completely micromanaged me when my diagnosis came in. when i was trialing my medications, there were issues with adapting, so i was let go due to that. On my papers, they put "shortage of work" as my reasoning to be let go. i was an employee for 5+ years there and as soon as my disability was giving me visible struggles, I was tossed away. it destroyed me.
I relate... Not in the means of work, but in social life.
"If you aren't valued somewhere, it doesn't mean you're worthless, it just means you're in the wrong place."
Helps me a lot.
As someone with major depressive disorder and psychosis, watching this now I know I am not alone in what I’m going through. I feel less lonely now.
I can relate. I'm crying through this video

@@LivingdeadskeletonHi! I think you're awesome. Thank you for being so kind and open. You made my day. Have a beautiful day! ❤
I feel for the blonde lady. She has so much healing to do. She seems so kind and deserves the world ❤
As an autistic person, the anxiety, trauma and depression many of us go through is really important to talk about. I love seeing people coming together like this. Many can relate to others in some way or another and especially with people with disabilities, many of us can understand each other to a point ❤️
I struggle a lot mentally and often feel hopeless. I have anxiety everyday all day and doing "simple things" is hard for me like showering, cooking, getting dressed and going out when I'm not feeling like it. I get very overwhelmed and have sensory issues. I just moved from home and it's exhausting and overwhelming but I hope I can get help with that. I also hope I can get more mental help but my countrys resources are so small rn but I still hope I can manage to take care of myself better and be able to work eventually ❤️
As someone with multiple (invisible) disabilities and is going through the SSDI system rn, I resonate so hard with this. 💜
Nice everyone is supportive of each other and acknowledging each other’s disability
It was super brave of Matt to walk up after his secret was the first one read. :)
yeah. matt is so cute, love him ❤️
This is so heavy and so touching. As a disabled person myself, I cried tons and related to so much and absolutely loved all the kindness and compassion and empathy they all showed for each other. Thank you all, everyone in this video for doing this 💜 Much love
I really wanna give each one of them a big hug. My heart goes out to all of them.
Props to everyone who was in this video because it takes a lot of courage
yeahhh
Oh sweet Austin. My sister is Autistic. I have Cerebral Palsy, PTSD, and chronic pain and migraines. I highly suspect I’m Autistic too. I have been through that too. So many in the disability community struggle with depression in this ableist world. You are not alone. You are loved and needed.
The way I cried so hard when Austin cried, for feeling the same way but not even having a disability and feeling even weaker and more worthless because of that...
Just like they told Austen - it's not your fault, it's the system and other people who make you feel that way.
I am autistic and relate a lot to Austen, but you don't have to be disabled to struggle. It doesn't make you weak. You are just in the wrong place with the wrong people.
Also, you might want to look into the symptoms of CPTSD, because they are very similar to ASD and even if that is not the answer for why you are struggling, you might find help that still applies to you.
And there is of course also a possibility that you are actually autistic without knowing it. 😉
I wish that they hadn’t cut out some of the “secrets”, I noticed that not everyone had theirs kept in. Great video nonetheless but I feel it’s important for everyone to be heard.
Maybe they shared their secret but wished for them not to be included for wider audience? That is what comes to my mind.
Some of the cut secrets were posted on tiktok and Insta if you’re interested!
Yeah, Ikr?
Re: the being an unreliable employee, it's such an issue. Employers would benefit greatly if they made more room to be more inclusive and accommodate these people. I get it that it is inconvenient to you to have an employee who is absent a lot. But to disabled people, being excluded over and over again when several of us know what we can contribute in society most of the time is so soul-crushing. We don't want to be absent either. Yes if someone can only attend 90% of the time it means 1 day per two work weeks, you may have to scramble but that little bit of disability element you take on is so meaningful and empowering so that we can contribute our light and nothing compared to the large inconvenience our disabilities or not being employed or being excluded has on us. Even if that statistic is less than 90%, it is still so important and very possible.
Alas, they are running a BUSINESS and NOT a charity.
So glad asd and bi-polar was mentioned. Austin is great and if you ever see this I cried you moved me with your situation and I’m so glad you’re here🥹. I too noticed how you naturally nurtured others. We have GREAT ability to love deeply and I hope you have many people surrounding&loving you!

I became a quadriplegic in July 2020 from a diving accident at the age of 19. I struggle with a lot of what was mentioned in this video. It made me feel so seen! to hear that I am not alone in a lot of my struggles is so comforting. Jubilee, thank you for giving a voice to this group of amazing individuals. You have no idea how much it helps people like me. And I can relate to a singer keeping me alive. Luke Combs is that person for me. I listened to his music every day I was in the hospital and continue to every day since coming home. One day I hope to thank him in person for everything he has done for me.
This wasn't long enough Jubilee. I love learning more about other people's challenges/perspective. It helps me be a more understanding and compassionate being. Please more of these videos!!!
I love everybody in this video... Also Austin walking around hugging everyone, because he knows the pain of depression. That boy is golde, even though he might not feel it. I hope he reads this.
Thank you.🫶

I’m so glad that these beautiful souls could come together to share their experiences. I was crying the whole time . Not out of pity for them , but for their strength and their light despite their circumstances. The fact that most of them didn’t feel worthy of love completely broke me . I can relate in so many ways . I’m glad that this video found me . I hope that more videos like these are uploaded . This was very insightful and heart warming . Thank you all for sharing and representing so many groups . I hope that you all have a life full of love and community 💚✨

i lost my mum to bipolar over a year ago at 16, bipolar is such a horrible thing, thank you for including someone with bipolar

As a person with chronic pain and fatigue (fibromyalgia) and degenerative arthritis, thank you for this episode. I’ve experienced most of the prompts…
“i’m so glad you’re still here” stoppppp ❤️
These seriously warm my heart seeing others relate to others. Keep doing these it's like group therapy. You are all still loveable and worthy. Austin is a truly beautiful human, he comforts everyone else. Had me balling 😭 I hope they all get lunch after this.

@@Livingdeadskeleton The world is better with you in it!
I'm autistic and felt so seen after hearing Austin's words. It was so amazing to see someone who has the same disability as me and has gone through the same feelings. Thanks so much for making this video.
I felt so bad watching this episode hearing how much these people struggled. I just wanted to give them all a hug, and I'm autistic and dont like physical touch. Glad Austin was there to do it for me and I feel like we're so similar it's scary. These people deserve the best
Having a disability is hard. I have BPD and it’s gotten me fired from jobs. Maintaining relationships snd friendships are hard. I have thought of ending it all multiple times. I felt how Austin like why can’t I do this when I feel so much pain. Thanks for this video. It definitely made me feel better about me. Being a black woman with a mental health disorder it’s a small lonely world but I’m hopeful things are getting better for the mental health advocates out there.
I deeply feel the question about love, I am blind, I have had a few romantic relationships where people have told me they love me and I just couldn’t believe it and pushed them away, I know it’s a mental barrier I need to get over but I just don’t know how
Everybody is so lonely. Hopefully society can make it work.
I’m disabled and my friend is also blind and we talk about this. She says she just wants to feel desired like her other friends, and that so often men will talk to her because they feel bad for her. But there has been a time when she described a scenario that sounded like the person really liked her, and she refused to believe it
@@LinseighOfficial Honestly, I think that people need to just take what they can get.
According to today's silly rules, it is shameful to for non-disabled to date disabled, because "we" can do "better", but can we? In today's age, if anybody goes on a date, then it's a huge accomplishment.
According to the silly rules, the same shame goes in reverse: it' shameful for a disabled person to date somebody just because the abled person feels sympathy.
At the end of the day, I'd rather see loyal people get together to support each other, sympathy or not.
Honestly, though, most people don't commit out of sympathy, so the issue is moot.
Sending so much love to everyone involved. Disability comes in all shapes and forms, thank you for showing that! There were a few that I hadn't even heard of. It was so hard to hear how isolating and discriminating the world can be against disabilities. Everyone deserves to be fully loved, cared for, and given opportunities, even if it means they need a little extra help
Love this 🥹
I agree infinitely!!!!
I have cronic pain, and ASD, ADHD, PTSD, Social anxiety, Depersonalization-derealization disorder.
And in my family they don’t accept have disabilities… so they don’t talk about it or validate them..
It’s been hard to accept i have them… and they are real…
This whole group just made me feel so validated and reminded me I'm not alone.
It wasn't so long ago that people with disabilities were treated as complete societal outcasts who had no business leaving their homes and being in public.
I'm so thankful for the progress, connection, and community we have now.
Thank you all for sharing 🫶
I've been dealing with these type of secrets all by myself because I have no disabled friends who understand. This video made me cry and made me feel less alone and I wish I could give all of them a hug.
This was heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same. It made me feel less alone in the pain I’ve had to fight with. Relating to so much of these words, it’s difficult to hear it out in the open, but it’s beautiful that strangers can become friends and offer this support. I feel like I need support groups like this!

This episode made me bawl my eyes out. I am autistic with adhd and ptsd and often feel so isolated and unlovable. The things all of these beautiful people talked about made me feel like I’m not alone. Thank you all of you for sharing.
This made me feel less alone. Thank you. ❤
Oh my gosh the things I could say about my own experience. Ugh 😣 Much love to all of these people and thank you for letting us in. ❤️ We all share so many similar experiences being disabled. The constant grieving of what could have been. It’s so hard.
This feels like the kind of group therapy that everybody needs and deserves
I relate to Austin so much I was so depressed because of my disability in middle and high school I felt like no one understood me and it was incredibly isolating!! I hope one day for a better world that is accepting of people who have disabilities! This was such a great video!
This one of the only Jubilee videos where genuinely every person was so well spoken, compassionate, and someone I could relate to. We desperately need more disabled spaces to share these kind of things as being disabled can be so isolating and exhausting. Thank you everyone in this video for sharing your experiences you made everyone feel less alone.
I’m glad that Jubilee displayed the ups and downs of having disabilities. They all shared positive growth but also wished that they wouldn’t be disabled. That is accurate. Being sad about your situation is a very normal thing. I feel like some advocates are too hard on keeping up with the “disabled but happy life” that they feel life talking about the struggle is harmful.
PS theses are amazing and very brave souls
I'm crying omg, you guys deserve love just like anybody else does! thanks for sharing your stories
been feeling soso alone as a disabled person recently and doom spiraling about it so this made me feel better
Austin’s part of the video made me cry. This video was so eye opening and comforting to see
17:34 I feel the same way, I struggle with anxiety, depression, bpd and ocd. sometimes I feel like I’m not meant to be here, it’s hard to make friends, I feel like push everyone out my life. I feel like sometimes I’m too much for someone to truly love.
This ia Jubilee’s strongest video so far and brought up so many feelings as I have multiple disabilities.
“The system makes you feel broken.” really got me. What a beautiful group of people!!!!! ❤❤❤
I really relate to Austin. I also have autism and every word he said resonated within me so deeply, it brought me to tears. I also adore Melanie Martinez and feel similarly that she helped convey a message I felt I never could. I always felt like an alien in the world, misunderstood, and seeing someone who feels so similarly to me is indescribably comforting.
Austin, if you see this: I'm SO glad you're still here. You're an incredible person and I truly wish you success in everything you do
🖤
This episode was so emotional for me. I became disabled at 22 (currently 26) and related so much to what everyone said. While I sobbed A LOT, it felt like one big group hug too. Thank you all for sharing your experiences and stories ❤️
the way they all comforted and reassured each other was so moving. i commend them for their vulnerability (and relate to a lotttt of what was said)
Thank you Jubilee for recognizing the importance of content like this. One of the most isolating parts of being disabled is the fact that we often don’t get to connect with the rest of our community IRL. Disability can be a very lonely experience when you’re surrounded by able-bodied people who can’t understand the physical and mental reality.
I can promise you, this one meeting will stay with each one of them for their whole lives.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I have Autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, adhd, mild phobia, migrane. My life is too much. I just wish I was normal and live like other people. Everyday is a struggle. I struggle doing lits of things like going out, doing my everyday normal routine or activities, meeting new people.I haven't feel happy in a long time. I just can't relate to all the the other people I feel like i stood out in weird way. I wish life is easier. I don't know how to function. I am not sure about my future. People don't have knowledge about my disabilities and even if they know they look down on me. I don't choose to be born like this. I just wanna live a fulfilled life.
I wish you all luck in the world ❤ Hope we're going to make it
I hope your Life gets easier & You find your place and strength in this world that makes You feel incredibly Special & Blessed to be You.. ❤️❤️
As a disabled person, I feel so held and emotional watching this
As a disabled person, this made me feel seen
melanie martinez’s music (specifically, the ‘crybaby’ album) helped so many people through high school and tough times in general, the amount of lives she must have saved has got to be millions. i hope melanie realizes the impact she had on so many young people all over the world and that she understands how she changed so many of our lives.
6:47 my daughter has pots syndrome and she has similar issues as her. She’s 24 and this started after a car accident that involved many leg surgeries. After the last surgery a year and a half ago the pots started. 7 months ago she had a stroke. I’m thankful we have insurance but like she said some procedures are not covered by it.
Austin’s statement was so real. It’s such the perfect explanation of how it feels. Maybe with videos like this, people will understand better
Thank you, I just keep it real when it comes to me being on the spectrum.🙂
