Shunned by society, Shaimaa Alhashimi built an online following by making videos about her home life.

The trolls are responding to videos uploaded by the mother of two autistic and blind children, who is shattering social taboos by sharing insights into their home life in Baghdad. But this is probably an undercount as there's a sense of shame associated with having a disability in Iraq and parents would not want their children "labelled" as such.
When she was checking Aya's body for any signs of harassment or struggle, she says discomfort was visible on her face and Aya even pushed her mother's hand away. "I don't want to make myself or my children go through this situation," says Shaimaa. "When you send an autistic child to school and they feel happy, then lose that feeling, do you know what that does to them?"This led Shaimaa and her husband to invest their time, effort, and money in developing their children.
