(Text on screen reads: What is disability pride?)

Amy: Hey, I'm Amy from the Youth Disability Advocacy Service. Disability pride can mean different things to different people. It can be about embracing your disability, not hiding things about who you are, and celebrating the good things about your disability. Nathan, a young, profoundly deaf, hearing impaired adult. 

Nathan: Disability pride means a lot to me because it's a community that I feel included with and knowing that I'm not alone. 

Amy: Miree a young adult sitting with Amelia and Savhannah. 

Miree: I think for me, disability pride is basically not being ashamed of the fact that I have a disability.

Amy: River, a teenager. 

River: It's kind of fun having Asperger's. When I was diagnosed, I was sort of like, "So, this is why I'm different." (She puts her fingers to her temples, then releases them.) I'm just different from other people, and I see the world in a different way. 

Amy: Veronica, a young adult sitting with Summer, a teenager. 

Veronica: I'm happy to be blind because if I was sighted, I wouldn't have had all these experiences that make me who I am today. 

Amy: Edie, a teenager.

Edie: The best thing about having a disability is kind of the wisdom that comes from it.

Amy: Sahvannah, a teenager. 

Sahvannah: I have like a view of the world that's, like, really different. We all have this different perspective.

Amy: Zoe, a young adult wheelchair user, talking with Laura, a young adult.

Zoe: Disability pride is not something that's necessarily easy to attain for every single person. It's a journey. And some days you have a stop where it's like, I'm not proud of my disability today, but tomorrow I feel great about having a disability. 

Amy: Julie, a young adult of short stature, sitting beside Cindy, a young adult with dwarfism. 

Julie: It took me like a while to come to terms with my disability. It wasn't really until I met other people like me and like spent some time around them. 

Cindy: Just hearing other people have similar issues to me is just amazing. I felt so good to feel that I wasn't alone. 

Amy: Sean, a young adult wheelchair user.

Sean: When you get a win, when you work it out, you get through it, that's a big achievement. All you did was climb three steps in physio, but that's a huge thing for you. It doesn't have to be a huge win like finishing your degree or getting a promotion at your job. It's the little things that you've worked so hard to get to. You need to be proud of them.

River: If there was like a magical new drug or something that would take away my Asperger's forever, I wouldn't take it because I like who I am. I like having Asperger's and I would never ever ever want to change that. (She crosses her arms and shakes her head.)

Amy: Ashleigh, a young adult with Down syndrome.

Ashleigh: Sometimes I just love to tell people with down syndrome, don't you limit yourself! (She waves her hand and shakes her head with attitude.)

Veronica: Our disabilities are what make us unique. And as a community, being able to share this uniqueness will help society to grow.
