Adam will share important lessons he has learned while carving out a career for himself in the public eye, whilst overcoming the stigma attached to his disfigurements.
Adam Pearson is a Presenter, Actor and University of Brighton 2016 Alumnus of the Year. With a passion for story telling and exploring the world around him Adam firmly believes that every human has a duty to leave this world in a better state than when they arrived in it by leaving an impact on the world and, by the same token, letting this world impact us. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you decide to handle it!
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I think what impresses me the most about Adam is his confidence. Personally I’m twenty years old and I have Aspergers Syndrome, which is something I’m still incredibly insecure about. To see someone else be so open and even joke about his disability (which, frankly, is probably a much more difficult disability to have then mine) is incredibly encouraging to me. And btw he was amazing in Under the Skin.

Just discovering this dude! Yea, the way he talks and carries himself is so effortless and casual that I kinda acclimated to the disfigurement a lot faster than I thought I would. Guy's got a real handle on making people comfortable; definitely is something I could work on

I’m pretty sure he is not confident all the time. It takes balls of steel to do that. And his message is so important. I remember at 14 to 20 years old I was full of acne. Sad. Depress. I wanted to end my life here. With people like him. I will have been so happier. He is such a good dude. For sure. I had good parents who were patient and now I’m 38 and work. And live and love ❤️

This dude is a badass! EDIT: After watching all the way through, I'm curious why Adam isn't a standup comedian. He held space, hit timing perfectly, and had some of the biggest laughs from my stomach that any comedian has ever garnered.

I thought the very same, he made me laugh and of course, I mean this in a very respectful way. My son is autistic, although it is not a visible disability, we struggle with it all the time.

The way people see themselves and the way others see them, has always been a big discussion. Throw in a "disability" and then it's compounded for both. Everday is a challenge but can also make you a person to inspire others. I'm a life long Epileptic and have helped to inspire others. It's always been harder to inspire myself.

Brilliant presentation!! I concur and make strides, regardless of how small, with my writing and presenting multifaceted canvases of my mental health series. Of course, it all needs to be done in a manner that is proper and refutes any stigma, and educates and entertains without stripping its positive impact. People do not realize that we all yearn to live a life where acceptance is the norm.

I am legally blind, so do not have long sight. I have watched most of the TED videos of disability, and everyone sounds unbelievably experienced with disability and smart. It is only when I get close to the screen that I realized all of the speakers actually are disabled. Based on this experience o my own, I conclude: the only difference between disabled and ale body is what your eyes feedback.
