Georgia, nice to meet you. Desmond. Desmond, Amin. You guys know why you're here? *thinking intensifies* Not.... Is there anything you guys wanna ask me? How did you injure yourself? I actually didn't have an injury! Then why do you have the wheelchair machine? Because I have a muscle condition. I have muscular dystrophy. It causes my muscles to get weak over time. That sounds really really REALLY bad. Mmhm. Can you walk? No, I can't walk. How do you move around? Wheelchair. Oh. She knows. You guys wanna see? Yeah. Your guys' toes protected? -Yep! -Yeah? I can spin around. (laughing) Wheeeeee! (chuckling) *Desmond trying not to smile* I want to try. You want to try? Be careful. You don't want to bite your brother's toes. I do! (cheerful music) Have you ever been bullied from being in a wheelchair? I never got bullied for being in a wheelchair. But, I did get bullied for being very smart. What's your favorite animal? I love dogs. - Aw. - Dogs are pretty awesome. Do you think I'll be good at football? You'd be good as a wide receiver? I'll take that. Do you think I'll be good at football? You can't walk, why would I? Hmm. Good point. What are you looking at? My hands? (chuckling) What do you think of my hands? They're really long? Are the muscles in your fingers deteriorated as well? Yeah. Would it be hard to write and type? Yeah, so I can't type anymore. I use voice-recognition software? Oh yeah! That must be helpful. Woaahh... I want that app. How do you go to the bathroom? Number 1 or Number 2? (laughing) Stand up, pull my pants down. (nervous laugh) Do my business. *disgusted* How do you get dressed? Like, do you guys get help from your mom? -Nope. -Yeah. No? I don't. -That is a total lie. -(chuckles) I like your hair. -Thank you. - It's cool. Can you swim? I don't know how to swim. Could you still play tag? Nooo. I'm not really good at tag, but I can still play. Are you happy? Yeah. I get to inspire people. I get to share my story, share what challenges I have And how I overcame them. That's really good! Good job! Pound it. Good job! It's just like talking to a normal person. ...and a chair. That has wheels. That's all! -Do you like me? - Mmhm
