What caring, loving and unselfish parents. I can understand how hard it would be to let go. You are giving them an amazing gift of independence and learning life skills.
I agree, and the parents wont be here forever, at least they know their kids are taken care of.. i have a question ❓ the couple? What if they get pregnant? What then?? The parents are WAY too old for a newborn?
Some couples with trisomy 21 do have a child. Usually the child stays with them but they get assistance. In this case they have taken measures to not get pregnant. But sure, no method protects to 100%.
@@MurzelMachtMusik that makes me feel better, I live in the US and we don't have safe spaces where they get a good quality of life for that reason.. what happens to the offspring?? Is it the state, "or taxpayers" responsibility? Or is it their responsibility? I do appreciate you responding to my question usually my questions go unanswered.. thank you.
@@telasims233 it's a basic human right to want to procreate. So it's only natural that the help they deserve to care for this child will be offered by the state, as every child regardless of who their parents are, deserves love.
@@da1stamericus I love the idea of that, but in the US, everything unfortunately comes down to money..😪 probably why we don't have and never will never have centers like that.. Here you can have all the natural rights you want, but we only get the rights we can PAY FOR.. Sad but true, I think Every child that wants to learn and have and education should HAVE ONE!! Truth is, when my daughter graduated, if I hadn't saved for it, she would have NEVER gone to college!!! that's a sore spot with me, what kind of country doesn't want to EDUCATE THEIR YOUTH!!! Even with her partial scholarships, her first year still cost me over $20,000.. and I'm not talking Harvard, just your average State University.. the greed in this country knows no bounds 😪
It takes a lot of hard work and courage to let our disabled children leave home. Because we know how unkind and dangerous life can be especially for our vulnerable.
@@mallaykamariavalentin6025Love on the Spectrum has nothing to do with supportive housing for disabled people at all. It is an autistic dating reality show instead where none of the autistic cast members get paid any money to be on this autism dating reality show..
@@mallaykamariavalentin6025 I don't think they meant on the TV. I think they meant in real life including near where they live. I wish there was a program like this when I was young. I'm not disabled but damn is it expensive and hard out there.. at least this group of there's is supportive.
My brother went through a program that taught him how to do day to day routines. We were both fully disabled children and our mother talked us into going into inpatient care, separately. But once we went in she refused to let us return home. I was 14, my brother was 18. I went with my father and my brother went into a program, like I mentioned. I'm a little irritated with the misleading title on this video. The people in the video are getting a hand up that MANY others like my brother and I didn't have. My brother first went into a nursing home until he could get a bed at that transition program. I'm almost 40 now and there's so many things I know I'll never understand. I also work full time. My brother is on full disability. I broke from my disability checks at 18 years old. Anyway, some of us truly did get launched from home with disabilities and we were completely unprepared for the world around us.
"Kicked them out"? Seems like they did the exact opposite and taught them life skills. Its not like Origin to use clickbait. Come on guys, you're better than that.
🤔Ummm yeah, I don't get it. These young adults are thriving & living just as comfortable as many of us, if not better. You would've thought they were destitute & living in deplorable conditions by the title 🙄🤦🏽♀️
I'm in Central California, and at Fresno State is a program called Wayfinders, which is for young adults with disabilities. The students share an apartment with at least one other person, they learn how to care for themselves, how to budget their money, etc. You can also see if your state has a Department of Rehabilitation which helps anyone with disabilities find work, learn life skills, obtain AT equipment (one of my favorites is Voice Options which is an ipad with a program for those who are non-verbal.)
Duke Divinity School and Reality Ministries have a program in Durham, NC. Divinity students are paired with one or more disabled people in apartments. Perhaps other seminaries throughout the country have something similar.
Where I live people with all different kinds of disabilities can live in a home for the disability that’s where my friends live in! That’s too bad where you live they don’t have any like that
I agree! Miss leading title. Still good show to see if they can live independently on their own. I was born with a learning disability. I'm on my own independently after my parents passed away.
My older cousin had down-syndrom but in our family we never thought he was different, he learned from the beginning he could be whatever he wanted to be and he was, the most important day was for him getting a job and his own flat, i never will forget the proud expression he had as he showed us around his flat! he was our ray of sunshine, always made us laugh and smile and at every family meeting he spurred us on doing crazy things grown up stop doing at some point, it was always a chaotic mess😂but we all are very fond of exactly those memories, saddly he died way to early bc of kidney failure but not a day goes by without someone (family or friends) think or speaks fondly about him.
I have autism and in 12 days, I’ll be moving into my first apartment with my best friend (my roommate). I’m excited to be moving back to my home state and be with friends again but I’m also nervous and scare since this is the very first time I’m living on my own and away from my parents along with three dogs
You will be so happy ❤trust me you got this don't worry this what is growing up is all about plus you don't have to hear your parents and nagging ie all the time😂
It's going to be so cool 😎 you will see you will love it ❤ i know you will miss your family but u can do video chats anytime!! Make sure you always pay your rent an bills first before any fun shopping trips lol but other than that just be respectful of your roommate if they are sleeping or something an it will work out great!! Good luck an please keep us updated!!!
Why are there not more programs like this around the world? This is just beautiful to see this. Best of luck and prayers going out to all in this series.
Whoever made this title should be fired. How about "Exploring Independent Living with Disabilities". They're being given opportunities to thrive in the community, but the title sounds like the parents abandoned them. Incorrect title. Fix it!
I tell yall these mamas are such strong, loving mamas who wants nothing more than their children to just be happy and be able to do the things every one else does but their biggest worry and fear is making sure they are able to be able to survive once they arent here anymore and thats their deepest worry you can see it in their faces when they speak on it.

I'm disabled due to MS. I am mostly independent but need help with certain chores like taking garbage out or fixing things and getting places like Drs or groceries. . I'd love to see the US adopt assisted living for more than just elderly.
I love that everyone in this doco are given a chance to grow and be self sufficient adults. I would stress less- as a mum if Ana had a contraceptive device implanted in her. Best of luck to all involved. I wanted to give thanks to the brilliant support workers
The Title is Beyond MESSED up. These are everyday families doing the next step in their lives and even though the video was a good view of it, the title/thumbnail is beyond VILE and DISGUSTING.
I think there in no question that the sensational title is “clickbate” but in fairness to the trend of les horribles = views yields awareness I can understand. I immediately saw through the tile and an throughly enjoying this program. One of my dearest friends has been independent for over thirty years. Anyway I agree there is another more suitable title but folks like you and me and others would be the only ones watching - this gory is here to attract others and change their minds. The adage “don’t judge a book by its cover” comes to mind. Peace
What a lovely place! I wish there were SO many moer places like this. Would that we could all be as open and loving as these "disabled" people. What lovely parents, and the support people are just the best.

I think this is amazing. It’s harder on the parents than the children. I remember when my youngest (non disabled) moved out. It was only a couple of years ago and I miss her terribly.
They are doing better than most people that move out at that age, no lie. I have two autistic children and this makes me feel GREAT to see bc I worry about what will happen when I die :(
I used to work in a group home for developmental disabled adults to help them gain some real independence for themselves & have friends to help them 😊. This is awesome!
I do not like the title of this video. It is false and disrespectful. The parents did not kick out their down syndrome kids they let their kids move on their own for a learning experience as a matter fact, they seem like some very loving parents.
This is an amazing program what's a poorly worded title they are not kicking their children out they are giving them a wonderful chance at Living their most independent life possible
I love that couple, so glad they vibe together well. I think its so important they have their privacy to explore their relationship how and when they want. Every adult deserves the opportunity, if they want, to have an intimate relationship in whatever way they see fit and im glad they're given that independence
my lil bro is disable and i would never let anywone hurt him.... my mother could never let go of him he is her lil baby but he is working at a Tim horton for over 10 yrs now ! her boss love him dearly .
Lovely 💕 young adults 😊 I wish that all people had their loving❤ and no judgemental nature And the parents are just wonderful people, you can 🙈 see the parents encouraged and unconditionally Loved them, bought them up to be confident, happy 😊 loving and kind, inspiring people ❤ God 🙏 Bless you all and make many happy 😁 memories
I'm glad that this channel is making videos like this. I'm also disabled and I live with my husband, I have Cerebral Palsy on the right side of my body.
I have a young son who i also worry already what his life will be like once im gone. 😢 its every mothers worry for a child with disabilities ❤ Beautiful souls all throughout this show, the children, the parents, the workers, all beautiful in their own right ❤❤❤
I didn't have any programs like this which is wonderful when I was growing up or a young adult I'm also disabled I have fetal alcohol syndrome and low Spectrum autism among other things this would have been great when I was growing up I hope they give more disabled children and young adults these are opportunities it's a great opportunity to have I'm now going to be 50 years old and I am so thankful for my Independence and thankful for to be in my own residence
How beautiful. In todays world this filled me with such joy. Good job parents. Its hard to let go, but look at what you have given your children. Just beautiful.
I love seeing this more family's should pride this for there adults they are not k8ds but have needs and should be able to have a life with support. With some help .
Unity house has programs like this in Auburn NY Access CNY also has programs like this also. But the individual with disabilities have to be on Medicaid and most are on the duel plan medicaid and Medicare and the rest are on just Medicaid. All have Medicaid care managers through OPWDD. You can't get these services of you are not on Medicaid. People in the UK are lucky due to the NHS
This is a terrific setup for challenged adults - a combination group/independent living situation with support staff on site. I imagine it would provide a large measure of comfort to parents who’d worried for decades what would become of their child when they were gone or became incapable of providing the necessary care.
In the US there are buildings that are called SROs or single resident occupencies where they have their own apartment with a bathroom but have community meals and living rooms.
Aww. I was tearing up watching the parents say goodbye to their children. They are doing the right thing by them. Charlotte (Jade's support worker) seems like such a lovely person. I hope Jade eventually settled in and her mum is also much more content. Did Joe and Anna end up becoming permanent residents?
Seeing how much these parents love their children is so heartwarming. It takes so much strength to put yourself out of the way to do what is right for another person.
This is an amazing option actually ingot learning disabilities and stuff I'm hunting for my first own place for the first time at 33 as iv always lived with someone can't wait but my anxiety and panic dose worry me some but lol
I’m a special needs adult, have been special needs all my life. This world isn’t made for us, we are expected to adapt and learn even when we don’t always fully understand. This decision is the right one, but it won’t be easy for either party.
First the title needs to be changed asap, but this vid was nothing short of amazing, the companion ship they built on that first breakfast together😩, the moms feeling the gravity of how far their babies have come, I love the mom that was hanging the clothes in the closet for her daughter, their relationship is beautiful to see, 🥹I love the emotions she let herself feel,I’m not a mother but I can only imagine the amount of feelings she felt, so proud but anxious for her baby to face the world she knows is out there. Ugh so beautiful, I cried most the vid, 😭 and the couple just amazing the chemistry ☺️👌🏾 great vid! 😌Wrong title!!😑
This kind of social housing (or with special needs adults and students, or old people, or other people reported by social workers) is common here in Italy since early 00's, especially in Northern Italy. As a special needs educator, I appreciate the great work that these people do with love. ❤
We had a program like this in my hometown when I was a kid, and there was assisted housing in our neighbourhood. The residents were so friendly and we'd often see them walking to the bus stop to go to work. One gentleman named Alan was a football nut (Australian Rules football) and he'd often knock on our door to talk footy with my dad. They supported opposing local teams and dad loved to tease him when we'd see him at the bus stop in his footy gear, heading to a game. Dad would shout out the car window, heckling his team and Alan would shake his fist at us as we drove past, but always with a grin on his face. Mum was always telling dad off, but I think Alan enjoyed the banter. I felt sorry for him when we moved away. I think dad was one of his few genuine friends.
These parents did NOT "kick" their children out. They are allowing them to grow and spread their wings like any other adult. Some parents of disabled children hold their children back. My ex husband's niece has CP. She is 29 years old. She is very intelligent, graduated with honors and has a college degree but her mother treats her as if she were 10 years old. It is kind of sad. Nobody wants to let their children go but you need to let them grow and experience the realities of life
This is what every sane parent of a disabled child hopes for! Sad reality can be teaching our children skills to help them avoid being targeted for abuse and being taken advantage of later in life, by strangers, friends and those tasked to lend them a helping hand.
These people who are considered disabled or not disabled to me if anything we could learn a lot of lessons from them they're the most kind-hearted beautiful people out there non-judgmental happy and just beautiful no racism no ill will
I learned so much and got such joy from working with the disabled. I certainly learned to be humble and grateful. It was the best, most rewarding job I ever had.
I'm so proud of the parents for supporting their kids' choices to have independence. This really looks like a safe and caring community with great friendships blossoming and other relationships deepening. Keep up the great work!
I'm autistic and my mother never thought I would move out and never really wanted me to until I got into a relationship for awhile with my long term best friend since elementary school. Him and his family ended up moving and my household was too overstimuating for me so I moved in with him. I still love my family and talk to my mom and dad but my grandma makes it a toxic environment.
I was expecting this to be something totally different! I love watching other people with disabilities learn independent living skills that will allow them to access the world on their own terms. I really needed to watch an uplifting video today! This documentary also brings back memories for me back when I was learning how to adult with what some people would probably consider a significant physical disability. My parents also went out of their way to ensure I could access all of the training I would need to live as independently as possible. I will forever be grateful to them for that. If anything, they perhaps went a bit overboard after witnessing what happens when kids with disabilities are sheltered from the world. :) Anyway, thanks for sharing this documentary with us! I can't wait to follow everyone in future episodes!
It is wonderful that there are communities for assisted living. Independence is the goal for us all. I do believe variations of this care model could be used with other vulnerable humans. This would be incredibly healing for humans with severe trauma. This would be amazing for those with ADHD. This would great for teenagers. Anyone who struggles with self care, routine, attention, life skills, socializing, disabling symptoms... would get better in this care model. Obviously a few alterations would be necessary to best assist with creating independence an maintaining safety. This is so wonderful. Everything about this video is wholesome.
I have intellectual development disability and my parents wwnt me to stay with them till im ready to move on my own and they been teaching me alot of stuff
Anna and Joe I can't 😭 they are so cute together it's like they are made for each other Annas energy with Joes kindest is adorable 🥺 and those parents bless their hearts they aren't kicking their kids out they are giving them their own world even though it's difficult to let their babies go they are doing what is right for all of them and their kids are safe and happy which is the most important thing
I’m loving that they are getting on with life they deserve it . I’m Married disabled since birth and have my own family . I been married for 30 years in January 2024 Iam excited for the Anniversary day to come.❤😊l wish everyone peace and happiness on there new journeys to come one day at a time.
I feel like reporting your video to RUclips for misinformation. What a disgusting title. They aren't kicking their children from home. They are bravely allowing their children to assert their independence and live their own lives. Or are you suggesting young adults like this don't deserve to live independently like the rest of us do?

And the parents are just wonderful people, you can 🙈 see the parents encouraged and unconditionally Loved them, bought them up to be confident, happy 😊 loving and kind, inspiring people ❤
God 🙏 Bless you all and make many happy 😁 memories
I think this is just GREAT! Just goes to show that these young people can do anything with just a little help! Fantastic!
I'm glad that this channel is making videos like this. I'm also disabled and I live with my husband, I have Cerebral Palsy on the right side of my body.
I have a young son who i also worry already what his life will be like once im gone. 😢 its every mothers worry for a child with disabilities ❤ Beautiful souls all throughout this show, the children, the parents, the workers, all beautiful in their own right ❤❤❤
I didn't have any programs like this which is wonderful when I was growing up or a young adult I'm also disabled I have fetal alcohol syndrome and low Spectrum autism among other things this would have been great when I was growing up I hope they give more disabled children and young adults these are opportunities it's a great opportunity to have I'm now going to be 50 years old and I am so thankful for my Independence and thankful for to be in my own residence
How beautiful. In todays world this filled me with such joy. Good job parents. Its hard to let go, but look at what you have given your children. Just beautiful.
I love seeing this more family's should pride this for there adults they are not k8ds but have needs and should be able to have a life with support. With some help .
Ana and joe are so cute together ❤. This is an amazing idea . 🇺🇸 needs a program like this.
Unity house has programs like this in Auburn NY Access CNY also has programs like this also. But the individual with disabilities have to be on Medicaid and most are on the duel plan medicaid and Medicare and the rest are on just Medicaid. All have Medicaid care managers through OPWDD. You can't get these services of you are not on Medicaid. People in the UK are lucky due to the NHS
Access CNY is in Syracuse NY. I forgot to add this.
Ana and Joe are so cute 🥰 that's what love should look like.
All beautiful people with amazing personalities and ❤'s.
Hopefully they aren’t having sex
This is a terrific setup for challenged adults - a combination group/independent living situation with support staff on site. I imagine it would provide a large measure of comfort to parents who’d worried for decades what would become of their child when they were gone or became incapable of providing the necessary care.
In the US there are buildings that are called SROs or single resident occupencies where they have their own apartment with a bathroom but have community meals and living rooms.
@ That’s fantastic. Same kind of setup a lot of college student apartment complexes have.
They taught them independence skills, which is the best thing to teach anyone, especially people with special needs.
Aww. I was tearing up watching the parents say goodbye to their children. They are doing the right thing by them.
Charlotte (Jade's support worker) seems like such a lovely person. I hope Jade eventually settled in and her mum is also much more content.
Did Joe and Anna end up becoming permanent residents?
34:35 such a good mother ❤❤❤
They’re off to a great start, I hope they thrive. Wish this had a nicer title. They weren’t “kicked out”..
Seeing how much these parents love their children is so heartwarming. It takes so much strength to put yourself out of the way to do what is right for another person.
This warmed my heart 🥰
The engaged couple are so gorgeous ❤
I get to work with people just like these amazing humans and I will never ever leave this field.
Love this video!
This is an amazing option actually ingot learning disabilities and stuff I'm hunting for my first own place for the first time at 33 as iv always lived with someone can't wait but my anxiety and panic dose worry me some but lol
The girl with the glasses and leather jacket seems so vulnerable...💔
I wish they would fix her teeth.
Yeah, she broke my heart
I’m a special needs adult, have been special needs all my life. This world isn’t made for us, we are expected to adapt and learn even when we don’t always fully understand. This decision is the right one, but it won’t be easy for either party.
Such pure souls
Such true love and joy and sweetness
I have a client with down syndrome that would absolutely love this and I know she could handle being on her own with a bit of help ❤
This was absolutely amazing.Thank you.🇨🇦👍😀❤️
I love this so much. We need this in America
I just love seeing supportive families like these. Very click baity title though
First the title needs to be changed asap, but this vid was nothing short of amazing, the companion ship they built on that first breakfast together😩, the moms feeling the gravity of how far their babies have come, I love the mom that was hanging the clothes in the closet for her daughter, their relationship is beautiful to see, 🥹I love the emotions she let herself feel,I’m not a mother but I can only imagine the amount of feelings she felt, so proud but anxious for her baby to face the world she knows is out there. Ugh so beautiful, I cried most the vid, 😭 and the couple just amazing the chemistry ☺️👌🏾 great vid! 😌Wrong title!!😑
This kind of social housing (or with special needs adults and students, or old people, or other people reported by social workers) is common here in Italy since early 00's, especially in Northern Italy. As a special needs educator, I appreciate the great work that these people do with love. ❤
Amazing......hope to see more of their journey!
How wonderful for both the parents and the children. It is such a huge transition in their lives.
We had a program like this in my hometown when I was a kid, and there was assisted housing in our neighbourhood. The residents were so friendly and we'd often see them walking to the bus stop to go to work. One gentleman named Alan was a football nut (Australian Rules football) and he'd often knock on our door to talk footy with my dad. They supported opposing local teams and dad loved to tease him when we'd see him at the bus stop in his footy gear, heading to a game. Dad would shout out the car window, heckling his team and Alan would shake his fist at us as we drove past, but always with a grin on his face. Mum was always telling dad off, but I think Alan enjoyed the banter. I felt sorry for him when we moved away. I think dad was one of his few genuine friends.
They are all so adorable and so brave. Heartwarming ❤
❤😢🎉such a warm, positive show .. God's blessings to all involved.
These parents did NOT "kick" their children out. They are allowing them to grow and spread their wings like any other adult. Some parents of disabled children hold their children back. My ex husband's niece has CP. She is 29 years old. She is very intelligent, graduated with honors and has a college degree but her mother treats her as if she were 10 years old. It is kind of sad. Nobody wants to let their children go but you need to let them grow and experience the realities of life
They are all SO Precious. Best of luck sweethearts!
This is what every sane parent of a disabled child hopes for! Sad reality can be teaching our children skills to help them avoid being targeted for abuse and being taken advantage of later in life, by strangers, friends and those tasked to lend them a helping hand.
My cheeks hurt, these beautiful people had me smiling so hard the entire video ❤❤❤😁😁😁
Anna and Joe put a smile on my face ❤️
Hormones overload 😉! God bless them and their parents
0:23- This is such a nice apartment, kind of low-key jealous!
These people who are considered disabled or not disabled to me if anything we could learn a lot of lessons from them they're the most kind-hearted beautiful people out there non-judgmental happy and just beautiful no racism no ill will
I learned so much and got such joy from working with the disabled. I certainly learned to be humble and grateful. It was the best, most rewarding job I ever had.
love the families, And im so happy for the younger adults being on there own and have these amazing experience
They are great parents ❤ loving their kids. 😊
I'm so proud of the parents for supporting their kids' choices to have independence. This really looks like a safe and caring community with great friendships blossoming and other relationships deepening. Keep up the great work!
Title is misleading. I lloved everything about this. What an amazing opportunity
I'm autistic and my mother never thought I would move out and never really wanted me to until I got into a relationship for awhile with my long term best friend since elementary school. Him and his family ended up moving and my household was too overstimuating for me so I moved in with him. I still love my family and talk to my mom and dad but my grandma makes it a toxic environment.
Happy for you
You ar a great man
I was expecting this to be something totally different! I love watching other people with disabilities learn independent living skills that will allow them to access the world on their own terms. I really needed to watch an uplifting video today!
This documentary also brings back memories for me back when I was learning how to adult with what some people would probably consider a significant physical disability. My parents also went out of their way to ensure I could access all of the training I would need to live as independently as possible. I will forever be grateful to them for that. If anything, they perhaps went a bit overboard after witnessing what happens when kids with disabilities are sheltered from the world. :)
Anyway, thanks for sharing this documentary with us! I can't wait to follow everyone in future episodes!
It is wonderful that there are communities for assisted living. Independence is the goal for us all. I do believe variations of this care model could be used with other vulnerable humans. This would be incredibly healing for humans with severe trauma. This would be amazing for those with ADHD. This would great for teenagers. Anyone who struggles with self care, routine, attention, life skills, socializing, disabling symptoms... would get better in this care model. Obviously a few alterations would be necessary to best assist with creating independence an maintaining safety. This is so wonderful. Everything about this video is wholesome.
I have intellectual development disability and my parents wwnt me to stay with them till im ready to move on my own and they been teaching me alot of stuff
That is really great
It sounds like you have great parents who love you a whole lot.
@@ashtonstout7375 thx but sometimes they don't want me to tell people about my disability
That's great! Keep up the good work. I wish I had more time to prepare to be on my own before I moved out. You got this 👍🏽
Anna and Joe I can't 😭 they are so cute together it's like they are made for each other Annas energy with Joes kindest is adorable 🥺 and those parents bless their hearts they aren't kicking their kids out they are giving them their own world even though it's difficult to let their babies go they are doing what is right for all of them and their kids are safe and happy which is the most important thing
9:54 he is such a loving gentleman.Any girl would be lucky but Im so glad its Anna
They are very happy let them be
His first apartment is wayyyy better than my first place on my own. Thats a nice place
I’m loving that they are getting on with life they deserve it . I’m Married disabled since birth and have my own family . I been married for 30 years in January 2024 Iam excited for the Anniversary day to come.❤😊l wish everyone peace and happiness on there new journeys to come one day at a time.
The title isn't worded correctly AT ALL. The parents didn't "kick them out," they gave them an opportunity to live life like they want to.
I wish my son would have this kind of opportunity, this is wonderful!!
This is wonderful .. !!! this kind of program should be everywhere …
I smiled through the whole video 😊They are just such sweet people ❤Not tarnished by this world.
I feel like reporting your video to RUclips for misinformation. What a disgusting title.
They aren't kicking their children from home. They are bravely allowing their children to assert their independence and live their own lives. Or are you suggesting young adults like this don't deserve to live independently like the rest of us do?
*Lovely flat. I wish them the best.* 😊
"Because I love hairy men" -
Oh Curtis, you're brilliant.... And I hope you get your hairy man! 💙😂
What a hopeful and beautiful video really I'm crying
What a wonderful opportunity for people with disabilities!
I think all parents feel fear of the unknown when their children leave home
Baked beans on a pizza has to be the most British fusion food ever.
😂😂😂
Sounds like a stomach ache.
😂😂😂😂
Done it before...I don't recommend it 😊
