This kind of thing makes me uncomfortable. Not your dad helping him out, of course, he’s a good man, but the whole videoing and posting online thing. It feels like exploitation, even though I’m sure OP got permission and everything, I’m sure everyone here sees one human being assisting another human being in a task we all take for granted, but I just don’t see that. I see a human being reduced to their disability in a video, seen as a charity case. This moment should’ve been kept between the people in that room tbh.

My sister is severely disabled and actually has the same disability as this man (cerebral palsy, which is often, as is my sister’s case, accompanied by profound deafness) and while she’s wheelchair-bound, she has a strong enough personality that we know it’s just humiliating for her when people take moments like this and share them, because they capture the parts of her that she doesn’t want anyone to see—the parts where she falls short. She wants people to see how she can make jokes like everyone else and tell stories, not her inability to do even the simplest action and have to be assisted. We make a point of ALWAYS ignoring when she has to be assisted, because it makes her comfortable.

I hope I’m not projecting my own experience, because I’ve seen this as the case with most disabled people. They just don’t want their shortcomings to be the things people see from them.
