## Resource

Society as a whole "thinks" they understand disability, until Tye’s story smacks them right in the face. From childhood milestones to a brutal healthcare system, Tye lays out the raw, unfiltered truth of living with muscular dystrophy and navigating a world that often seems designed to dismiss or ignore him. We break down the myths around disability, why society still sees us as "less than," and how that impacts everything from insurance to social acceptance. Understanding isn’t just about awareness: it’s about demanding better treatment, better policies, and a culture that stops treating disabled bodies as anomalies. If you walk away from anything in this episode, I truly hope it's that disabled people more than our limitations. We’re stories, resilience, and a whole lot of badassery.
