About

These interviews are intended to create a more inclusive world. SBSK started when I was a teacher for students with disabilities. Originally intended to be a book written by my students, SBSK soon grew to be video interviews of disabled people of all ages and diagnoses. Since our beginning in 2015, I have interviewed hundreds of people across the world while providing over $2,000,000 to those featured on this channel through a combination of grants and fundraising. Starting in 2015, SBSK is now a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to normalize the diversity of the human condition under the pillars of honesty, respect, mindfulness, positivity and collaboration. This multi-media movement supports the acceptance and inclusion of all members of the neurodivergent/disability community. -Chris

Video Description

In 1989, Amanda was diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, which is now classified as Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD). She has 12 alters, each with their own unique voice, personality, and behavior. Amanda wants others to know that this is her reality. Each of her alters developed as a response to early childhood trauma, and together, they are part of who she is.
