During the Paralympic Games of the London 2012 Games, the curiosity of the great viewing public raised lots of questions about how things are done by people who have varying disabilities/conditions.

Every evening Australian Comedian Adam Hills hosted a Channel 4 programme with a light-hearted and often hilarious roundup of the day’s events. “The last leg with Adam Hills”. (Adam himself born without a right foot, wears a prosthesis.)

Paralympians, celebrities and people with and without disabilities took part in the show and joined the discussion on the day’s events, fuelled by Adam’s hilarious comedy lines. One of the main features of the show was the “Is it OK?” section where viewers tweeted questions related to disability or the paralympics that they weren’t sure if it is OK to ask, throwing the questions to the guests to answer. The show achieved rave reviews, high viewing numbers and managed to break down taboos taking mainstream viewers to dark and delightfully surprising places that only disability humour can go, giving a sense of permission for regular viewers to talk openly about things they may previously have shied away from.

One night of being unable to sleep I “Stumbled-Upon” an amazing set of videos on YouTube called “Tisha Unarmed”. In an inspiring series of videos, the bubbly and charming Tisha shows how she performs daily tasks with no arms or hands like getting dressed, going shopping, driving (with her feet), and more. She says on her Twitter page, “I am Tisha UnArmed I was born without arms and I can do everything you can do with my feet. I upload videos on youtube and show how I do things.”

So if you ever wanted to know how someone with no arms performs their daily tasks, then let Tisha take you on a tour.
