  • Tilly: I think if you have a disability, you should be proud, because you're not like anyone else.

  • You're unique. That's what's personal to you.

  • Hi, my name is Tilly and I'm the first teenager in the UK to get bionic arms.

  • So the arms are controlled by my muscle sensors and the sensors are on the inside.

  • So whatever I do with my muscles, I can control the fingers.

  • So if I squeeze my muscles they'll close then I'll flex they'll open.

  • And then I have four different grip modes, which makes it a lot easier to hold stuff and types of things.

  • So they've got like just a normal close like that,

  • or they've got a grasp, I also like to use as a thumbs up.

  • I love to like, match them with my outfit, I've got quite a lot of cases, I've got like, six or seven pairs.

  • It's like picking out a new handbag, picking what shoes you're going to wear

  • matching it all together. And I just love it. It's just so much fun.

  • It's cool to be different because you're unique, like nobody else can decorate their own hands.

  • When I was first born, I was just like any normal baby completely happy, healthy.

  • But when I was 15 months old, I fell really ill.

  • I was originally diagnosed with an ear infection and sent home. But it just really escalated from there.

  • Sarah: There was something in the back of my mind.

  • That was like saying is it just an ear infection, though?

  • And it wasn't until later on. When I went to change her nappy,

  • we noticed the I say they look like bruise like marks,

  • grabbed a tumbler of the draining board and pressed it against her skin and it didn't, it didn't go away.

  • This woman came over to me and just said,

  • "I need you to sit down." And she was just like;

  • "we think your daughter is going to die." And I was just like, 'what?'

  • I suddenly felt like really light headed and like

  • they can't be saying this to us. It's my baby.

  • Like what do they mean? Like this can't happen to her?

  • Everyday, we were just like is she, will she live? Will she live? That's all I kept asking.

  • And the nurses were just like, we don't know, we can't say we don't know anything.

  • Tilly: They did say they had to amputate my hands. And of course, my family did worry about that.

  • But for them, that was a really small price to pay for my life.

  • Sarah: It was one of those things that it's really unfortunate.

  • But at least she's got her life.

  • I was just like, well, I'm going to make her

  • life the best life she could ever possibly have.

  • Tilly: I've had a couple of hands in the past. And they were all trying to be really, really realistic.

  • And they were really expensive.

  • We just felt like all the money was going to work on how they looked rather than how they actually work.

  • Because these hands couldn't even open wide enough to hold a cup.

  • So we thought why not just scroll up so we forget about the realism

  • just go off of with how it works.

  • As you can see the don't really look like any normal hand. They are very, like futuristic and stylish.

  • I want to do things with them just because I think they're so cool.

  • And I love wearing them. Every day I'm finding out new things I can do with them.

  • I actually started getting into makeup and stuff. It was a bit difficult at first

  • because I haven't got any memories to look back

  • on how I would hold certain objects.

  • So I have to like study how my mom

  • and my sisters and my friends would hold certain objects and then try to mirror that

  • wearing my own hands. And it did take a while

  • to start off of but practice makes perfect.

  • And I just kept at it. And that's where we are today.

  • When I first started putting makeup tutorials on YouTube,

  • people thought it was really impressive and wanted to see more of like how I did it.

  • Hi you all, it's Tilly and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

  • I decided to do it more and I like doing it anyway.

  • And of course I started having only one hand

  • one hand and doing it where as now I've got two hands so it's a bit easier.

  • Izzy would you like glam today or natural.

  • Izzy: Ermm, glam.

  • I like to use my arm as a beauty blender sometimes.

  • Because it's just the same shape.

  • Tilly: Don't lie.

  • Izzy: Actually last time she poked me in the eye with mascara so.

  • Tilly: I did it once for a YouTube video.

  • It doesn't bother me when people stare at me because

  • when I had hands in the past it was kind of like looks of eww that's weird, like, disgust almost.

  • And it's almost like you should be ashamed to be different

  • because you hands hardly look like everybody else's just so you could have a normal life.

  • And I've just completely needed to change.

  • I think social media is, plays a really big part because I've got quite a big following on that.

  • I've been posting all the stuff about it and promoting

  • and showing everyone how cool they can be.

  • It just makes me feel really, really confident. Because in the past, people would look at me

  • and I would be bothered.

  • I found that my bionic hands, get a lot of stares, but in a more positive way.

  • Like people are now looking at them with amazement and smiles on their faces, rather than, a sad.

  • And feeling sorry for me. Because I don't like when people feel sorry for me

  • because I just didn't look at myself as any different to other people.

  • Sarah: I feel every time I see Tilly whether she's wearing her hands or not

  • I always feel so proud and inspired by her like every single day.

  • She's an absolute dream child.

  • She's so mature for her age.

  • She's so caring and loving, and always puts other people before herself.

  • Tilly: These hands have been made by Open Bionics in five years, and if this is what they can achieve in five just

  • think of what they can achieve in another five.

  • So I'm really excited about the future.

  • I think like if you have a disability, you should be proud

  • because you're not like anyone else you're unique. And that's what's personal to you.

  • And I just want to show people that it's okay to be different. It's almost like cool to be different.

  • I just I like to put that through to as many people as possible.

Tilly: I think if you have a disability, you should be proud, because you're not like anyone else.
