Visual Impairment
From all walks of life, the visually impaired we meet in this episode answer questions about what it is like to navigate the world without sight and the answers are very enlightening.
Autism
People with high-functioning autism face stigma and judgement, often because their disability is "invisible"-showing no outward signs.
Limb Differences
Through accident, illness or genetics, people with limb differences learn to adapt and be resilient. Because their disability is so visible, they receive a lot of attention.

Little People are a highly visible group who face a great deal of social stigma and curiosity. In this episode, they explain what it's like to live in a world that sees them as "disabled".
Down Syndrome
A genetic disorder causes Down syndrome and the Canadians we meet in this episode give us a heart-warming and candid view into the lives of people with Down syndrome.
