Non Profit Stories | From desminopathy to an inclusive video game: the story of Silvio and The handYcapped. An association born out of a rare disease that has become a project combining creativity, humor, and social commitment. From coloring books and school programs to purpose-driven t-shirts and a video game in development, The handYcapped aims to reshape how people see disability. Because, as Silvio says: “If a handYcapp can do it…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morning of May 28, 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Silvio Binca greets us with energy, though he doesn\u2019t hide that \u201cthe morning was shit.\u201d He says it without drama or embarrassment, with that mix of honesty and positivity that defines him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll admit it: the person writing this wondered whether that kind of language was appropriate for this article. But we decided to go with it. Because normalizing, without sugar-coating, is exactly what Silvio does every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calling things by their name, without glossing over them, is part of his genuine and direct approach. It\u2019s a way to show that life with a rare disease isn\u2019t just smiles and Hollywood-style bravery. It\u2019s also real hardship, exhaustion, and moments that are, quite frankly, shitty. And that\u2019s okay. Because just like in any game, you don\u2019t always win on your first try. There are obstacles to overcome, strategies to rethink, and above all, the strength to keep playing, to keep trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Silvio tells us he\u2019s doing better now. And honestly, speaking with him, we feel better too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
