“I cannot see anything because I’m blind,” says Oliver. Tosia is bullied because she was born abroad. “I feel anxiety often,” says Hannah who has autism. Jo is a girl who has a boy’s body. “Sometimes I wish I wasn’t disabled,” says Lewis who needs other people’s help with most everyday tasks. Josh felt very angry at his dad after he had died. “Most of the times I can only feel sounds,” says Eve who is deaf.
