  So this is for all of you who requested some more video content and if you like this I will commit to doing more videos. Let me know what you think, this is me talking about Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare, it's the new book in the Shadowhunters world.  I am looking to post to the blog twice a week and film once a week, but it depends on what my readers and viewers like so, guys can you please leave a comment or  share the videos.  https://youtu.be/2VSR4J-uLWA

So I have relaunched my YouTube along with the blog and guys this is the core of why I started this blog disability matters and it does mean a lot to people to be included and the scheme is facing a lot of challenges so I will be looking at this and I am as I said in the video going to talk about what challenges it is facing and how to stop this from becoming a problem.  I am still going to do media content but I am looking at branching out due to the challenges around the NDIS and we need people to speak up. Also please keep sharing the content and I hope to make this a full-time job I can't keep it going on my own so if you can comment or share it please do. 

Things that arn't a complement to a person with a disablity

  But you don't look disabled  - general translation, I don't see many people with disabilities, so I don't know what to say and I can't see a great conversation starter.  I have an "insert," family member here that has a disability so I feel that  I can talk about this issue.  - Translation I have seen the impact of one disability on my family so feel that I am qualified to talk about it without consulting anyone else in the disabled community.    But you are so high functioning this term needs its own blog post as how it is used and how it is meant in the medical community are two very different things.   I didn't realize you needed support - well everyone needs support at times and sometimes it is paid people, to take the burden off family and friends.  But when your who old and live with your parents - this can lead to some interesting conversations around disability and care as some people with a disability can live independent lives some can't.
