    Questions People Fear Asking People With Disabilities | Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor Ep. 14

    In Episode 14 of Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor, we answer seven questions that people may be curious about but sometimes feel afraid or uncomfortable asking people with disabilities. Reyes shares his perspective from living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, while Victor answers from his experience living with SMA Type 2. Even though we have two different neuromuscular conditions, we face many of the same struggles, assumptions, and everyday challenges. We talk about needing help from others, people staring, misconceptions about disability, what people assume we can and can’t do, how we feel about our conditions, and our thoughts about the future. Two different disabilities. Two different perspectives. Many of the same struggles. This episode is about having an open and honest conversation and giving people a better understanding of what life with a disability can really be like.

    Episode 10: Accepting Our Disabilities | Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor

    In Episode 10 of Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor, we have an honest conversation about accepting our disabilities and how that journey has changed as we have gotten older. Alfonso lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Victor lives with spinal muscular atrophy Type 2. Although our disabilities and experiences are different, we both understand what it means to face physical changes, depend on others for support, compare ourselves to people without disabilities, and continue learning how to accept ourselves. We discuss when we first understood our disabilities, the hardest parts of growing up, losing physical abilities, independence, friendship, and whether disability acceptance is something that ever feels complete. Acceptance does not mean every day is easy or that we never feel frustrated. It means continuing to grow while recognizing that our disabilities are part of our stories, but not the only thing that defines us. And like Victor says, “Grow through what you go through.” MD Warrior out.

    Episode 8: Invisible in the Room: Talk to Us, Not Around Us | Unfiltered with Reyes and Victor

    In Episode 8 of Unfiltered with Reyes and Victor, we discuss what it feels like to be invisible in the room—when people speak to those around us instead of speaking directly to us. We share our experiences with being overlooked, ignored, or treated as though we cannot speak for ourselves simply because we live with disabilities. We also explain why it is important to talk to us, not around us, and how basic respect can make a major difference. A quick note to our listeners: we apologize that the episodes are not currently uploaded in order. This episode was originally supposed to be Episode 9, but we have not had time to upload every episode yet. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get everything posted.

    Episode 7: What Happens If We Outlive Our Parents? | Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor

    In Episode 7 of Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor, we have one of the most emotional and important conversations we’ve had so far: what happens if we outlive our parents? For many people with disabilities, parents are more than just parents. They are caregivers, protectors, advocates, and the people who understand our daily needs better than anyone else. Some people only have one parent. Some have both. Some have siblings, family, or other support systems. But the fear is still real: who will take care of us if they are no longer here? In this episode, we talk about caregiving, disability, family, future planning, fear, love, and the emotional weight that parents carry when they wonder what life will look like for their child after they are gone. This is not a negative conversation. It is an honest one. Some topics are uncomfortable, but they need to be discussed. And this is one of them.

    Episode 6: What Would Life Be Without SMA or Muscular Dystrophy? | Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor

    In Episode 6 of Unfiltered with Reyes & Victor, we ask one of the most honest questions we’ve probably both thought about before: What would life be like if we didn’t have SMA or muscular dystrophy? This episode is a raw and unfiltered conversation about disability, identity, childhood, confidence, missed experiences, and the “what if” factor that comes with imagining a life without our conditions. We talk about how different life might have been, what we may have done differently, and whether our personalities, friendships, dreams, and mindset would still be the same. But this conversation is not about regret. It’s about reflection, honesty, and recognizing how SMA and muscular dystrophy have shaped who we are today. No pretending. No sugarcoating. Just two friends having a real conversation.
