It's okay, you can ask (learning to embrace my disability) →

Max Pete

Summary

Max Pete shares his experiences embracing his physical disability of being born without a full right hand. He used to feel insecure and apologetic about his visible difference but has grown comfortable 'owning it' as part of his unique story. Max encourages others with visible disabilities to be open about their differences rather than hiding them, while also advising those interacting with disabled individuals to feel free to ask respectful questions rather than making assumptions. Ultimately, our differences are what make us interesting.
