Those kind of accommodations can allow someone to be successful.
And it's been my experience that people impacted by MS who have to leave the workforce or can't be involved in school anymore, they don't fare as well.
And I think just psychologically, they have a lot more time to like think about the disease.
If you're proverbially flipping burgers for eight hours, you really have to concentrate on flipping burgers or you'll burn yourself.
And that's a mindful activity.
And I think that's healthy.
And so I think searching out accommodations and again, going back to self-advocacy and being selfish is paramount to success.
I help people by request.
So by request.
So for example, if I said, hey, stop smoking, you'll show me your middle finger.
But if I say, if you want to smoke, smoke, but I just need to educate you that smoking speeds up MS.
And so I really believe that
education is paramount to success in multiple sclerosis.
The reason that I'm so passionate about my YouTube channel is it's just a tool for educating where if I have something that I want to convey, I can try to create an easily digestible snippet that then somebody can watch at their leisure.
And so in my background, I grew up where we would talk about having a mitzvah,
you know, a mitzvah is a good deed.
Like if you walk an old lady across the street, then you're a good boy and you did a mitzvah.
And so when I make a YouTube video and then later I find out that someone in another part of the world, they watched it and they benefited from it.
That fills my bucket.
I mean, it's, it's such a joyous moment for me.
