Funny! 3.5 stars - Read Harder Challenge #1 & #21 ( )

Found Shane on YouTube ( Squirmy and Grubs ) where he posts daily videos along with his girlfriend Hannah. I fell in love with both of them as a couple because their love seems so unconditional. They feed off each others humor and sarcasm and yet through these videos, you can see how they respect and learn from each other everyday.

This book for the most part was very interesting. I learned a lot about SMA and the ways people affected adjust their lives to live normally. I was inspired to ignore the smaller things in life that get under my skin because their are bigger and worse things that are happening.

The thing that bothered me about the book was Shane's description, behaviour towards others with mental disabilities. I'm not sure if he was adding humor or he was belittling them. Shane is very intelligent and it appeared that he was above them in a few instances. Almost like he was too good to be associated in their environment. He seperated himself from others while at a camp instead of integrating himself and sharing his passion with others to make them smile.

He has found an angel in Hannah and I wish them nothing but the best. I will continue to watch their trials and tribulation in life. ( )

At first I felt kind of bad even wanting to read this book, because I didn't want to be disrespectful of anyone who deals with challenges that I can't even imagine, but once I started, I had a hard time stopping reading it! His voice is so strong and funny and insightful, and guess what...he is sharing it with us. He is a typical young man, with a heavy dose of muscular dystrophy, that is positive and fun-loving. He cusses, masturbates, falls in love, shares his experiences as a young man and one who is considered "other." I literally laughed out loud and then got misty-eyed. This is a must read for all therapists and teachers, in my opinion. Everyone can wait for their copy next. I am very interested in following his blog now...just as a person of age I will need to figure that out first. His parents and family are amazing too. Thank you Shane! ( )
