A moving speech from an extremely accomplished man. Congratulations on your graduation Parker! Far too often, society has instilled and reinforced the idea that those of us with disabilities are to remain disabled and perhaps even incapable. Whether one is bound to a wheelchair, or suffers from ADHD, or repeats the first syllable of a word (as I sometimes do), we have been tacitly yet resoundingly told to doubt both ourselves and our abilities. - Parker Mantell, Indiana University Commencement Speech youtube/watch?v=iICFjbIAs7Y
