A teenager takes the first steps to independence in this sweet commercial for Etsy. The coming of age narrative sees her sneakily get her ears pierced behind her mum's back, before finally receiving her blessing with good humour. This is a nice example of how a disability doesn't need to be the focus of a narrative - in this case the teen's limb difference goes entirely unremarked upon - and proves there's no reason not to cast disabled actors in a wide variety of roles.
