Dating, Intimacy And My Disability

Can a person with disability have sex? How do they find someone who'll love them as they are, and not see them as a burden? These are questions that 'Alex', who has cerebral palsy, has grappled with. As a bullied teen, he watched his schoolmates go on first dates, while he struggled with insecurity and the raging hormones of puberty alone - constrained even in exploring his sexuality in the hovering presence of his protective parents and a helper. But then, the unexpected happened - that left Alex wondering if someone could truly love him, once they knew the extent of his caregiving needs? In this CNA Insider podcast, hear a young man's story of hope, loss, and the struggle to believe that one is worthy of love. *Clarification at 1:13 - as a child, Alex was carried and then relied on a walker. He only started using a wheelchair when he started working.
