Jason Clymo: Visibility of Disability
from AMSA Ampoule
Jason Clymo was a medical student before acquiring a spinal cord injury which changed his life. Once recovered, he spun himself into the world of modelling, creation and advocacy, increasing awareness of paraplegia in the advertising world and mainstream media. In this episode of Ampoule, Jason and Meg, who were friends back in Jason's med school days, have a particularly open chat about Jason's experience with recovering from his injury, desexualisation of people with disabilities, his experience with romance and intimacy since he started using his chair, and how mental health is the linchpin in everything he does. Jason lives as both a model with a disability and also a voice encouraging change of the model by which we grade disability, representation in media and how people consider micro-aggressions and the way they can affect people's internalised aggression.
