Shane Burcaw and Hannah Aylward, known to YouTube viewers as Squirmy and Grubs, often find people have trouble comprehending their relationship. Burcaw, who is disabled as a result of spinal muscular atrophy, weighs just 65 pounds and has limited physical abilities. As the title of his latest book explains, “Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse.” We spoke to Burcaw and Aylward about their relationship, their encounters with others, and their efforts to shatter misconceptions about the ability for disabled people to have a love life.

Their YouTube channel reads: “Once upon a time, a boy with no muscles fell madly in love with a beautiful girl who had plenty of muscles to spare. The townsfolk gasped with horror at the sight of their disgusting interabled relationship, but they didn’t care.”Kirkus calls Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse (https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781626727700) , "An accessible, smart-assed, and unexpectedly tender exploration of life, love, and disability."We talked about the how of writing for Shane, (which included a shout out to the Remote Mouse App (https://www.remotemouse.net) ) but even more about the why--and why Jess's students in particular (along with many many others) have loved Shane's books since his first.

In SMA News Today's 17th podcast, Community Editor Kevin Schaefer interviews Shane Burcaw, author and Founder and President of the nonprofit "Laughing At My Nightmare."

As of this week’s episode I have now recorded over 130 interviews with people all over the planet in many different industries with their own unique stories. But with all due respect to every single person I’ve ever interviewed, I can confidently say that talking today with Shane Burcaw was one of the highlights of my life. Rarely do you come across a human being that radiates such positivity, clarity, and confidence. If you don’t walk away from this interview feeling like you can overcome more than you thought you could, and if you don't feel like you have a clear set of tools to make yourself happier without having to change the circumstances in your life at all, I recommend getting your ears checked because clearly you weren’t listening closely enough. Shane Burcaw is a co-founder of Laughing At My Nightmare, Inc., an organization dedicated to teaching people how humor can help them overcome their challenges, while also providing vital equipment to people living with muscular dystrophy. Shane is an award-winning author, Emmy-winning producer, and writer of a blog with over 600,000 followers. His nonprofit is responsible for over $60,000 in equipment provided to people living with muscular dystrophy. Shane and his business partner, Sarah, travel the country sharing the powerful idea that a positive mindset and a sense of humor can help anyone effectively overcome their challenges! And in case I haven’t mentioned it yet, Shane has lived with spinal muscular atrophy since shortly after birth and he’s quadriplegic. For those that don’t know what this means, we’ll talk about it more in today’s episode, but in short...Shane has little to no control of any of his four limbs and he has never walked. For my listeners that know my history, it’s probably no surprise that I’m so excited about having Shane on my show because I dedicated eight years of my life directing and producing the documentary film GO FAR: The Christopher Rush Story (narrated by Mark Hamill) about the first quadriplegic to become a certified scuba diver who was also one of the national poster children for the Muscular Dystrophy Association alongside Jerry Lewis back in the days of the Labor Day telethons. Christopher was not only the subject of this documentary, but he was also one of my closest friends who stood next to me at my wedding which unfortunately was the last time I saw him alive. But chatting today with Shane brought back so many memories of conversations I used to have with Christopher. If you’d like to learn more about my documentary you can visit gofarmovie.com, and you can also rent it for .99 cents right now on itunes, just go to gofarmovie.com/itunes to learn more. With over 250 5-star ratings, I promise you’ll get your money’s worth, and hopefully more.
