Special Books by Special Kids

Christopher "Chris" Ulmer (born: ), is an American YouTuber known for his channel Special Books by Special Kids, or SBSK for short. The channel features Chris interviewing people with various disabilities in order to show the world that they should be accepted like other people.
==History==
SBSK started when Chris Ulmer was a teacher for students with disabilities/neurodiversities. Him and his students set out to publish a book in which they shared what life is like from their perspective. They hoped that this would help educate others on what it is like to live with a disability. No publishers were interested so they then started creating videos. Soon, people around the world started emailing Chris asking if they could also be interviewed by him. Although the medium has changed, the idea remains the same.
Founded in 2016, SBSK is a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to normalize the diversity of the human condition under the pillars of honesty, respect, mindfulness, positivity and collaboration. This multi-media movement supports the acceptance and inclusion of all members of the neurodiverse/disability community regardless of diagnosis, age, race, religion, income, sexual orientation, gender or gender expression.
In March 2019, all of the videos on Chris's channel (with a few sole exceptions) had all of their comments disabled. According to Chris in a video to address this, this was because YouTube thought he was making these videos to exploit children. In his perspective, the whole point of the comments was for people to show appreciation to the people that Chris interviewed. He has started a petition to regain his comments, but as of July 2020, no action has been made. To compensate, Chris uses the community posts (which still have comments enabled) in order for people to comment about the person Chris recently interviewed.
==Series==
===Interviews===
The standard interviews where Chris had a one-to-one discussion with the interviewee about their disability or condition and how it affects their life.
===A Day in the Life===
Chris records an entire day of one of the people he has interviewed so people can see how their daily life works.
===How are You?===
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people were stuck inside their homes. Chris decided to make a series where he would hold virtual calls with some of the people he has interviewed in the past and see how they are holding up in the pandemic.
==Trivia==
*Chris's videos are always accompanied by orange subtitles on the bottom of the screen so that way the deaf community can also watch the video and know what the people are talking about.
*One of Chris's closest interviewees was Kayne, a boy who was living with a DIPG brain tumor for about a year. Chris has a held a seven-episode marathon continuously documenting Kayne's life and how his condition was processing as well as how he wanted to live a general life. Unfortunately, Kayne eventually passed away.
