Leo doesn't have a 'serious' disability.

A brain injury in the final weeks before he was born left him with a weakened right hand side, his right hand practically useless. But it's not stopped him becoming a talented swimmer, rower and rugby player.

But the effect of disability on Leo, on his family and other people's attitude towards him run far deeper than the physical.

Leo is a tale of strained family relationships, bullying, struggle to achieve, determination and discovering a few things which make us human.

As part of his Full Story Project, Gideon Burrows meets a man who, in his early 20s, has still not come to terms with the disability he has lived with all his life.

And one which continues affects Leo more starkly than even he realises.
