9:02Now PlayingMelbourne man Caleb Rixon suffered a life-changing stroke while at the gym, just days after his 24th birthday.
The stage performer battled isolation, spending many years relearning to eat, walk, work, and drive again.
He is now highlighting the challenges of returning to everyday life after acquiring a brain injury and living with invisible disabilities through the power found in connecting with community and reinventing yourself rather than returning to your old self.
Caleb is telling his story as part of the International Day of People with Disability.
From November 19 to December 10, the ABC celebrates the wins, highlights the struggles, and shares the stories of millions of Australians with disability.
