31-year-old Darren Douglas has arthrogryposis
A disabled Manx resident whose videos have gone viral on social media says he wants to change how people with disabilities are seen by society.
Darren Douglas, who can't use his arms or legs, has been recording himself doing tasks around the house since 2019 - showing how he uses only his mouth.
One video posted to Tik Tok, showed a timelapse of him painting his hallway, and reached 18 million views.
The 31-year-old spoke to Manx Radio about using his platform to raise awareness:
