My very best friend in high school was a girl named Kelly, she had down syndrome but she always came out with us and did crazy teenager stuff, she ended up with one of the Most respectable guys in our school. Everyone loved her smile, her jokes..so beautiful. She is a nurse now at a dialysis center. I haven't done a damn thing with my life. I would be blessed to have a child as wonderful as that
Polish people can do great accomplishment

You seem like an amazing person so you definitely haven't done nothing with your life. You seem really kind, that's a blessing. No matter how successful some people are, kindness is a true gift in this world
The mum and teenage girl brought a tear to my eye. She has clearly been raised with love and respect and has a bright future.
That daughter and her mother are so beautiful together...I love being a parent~
Apparently
The teenage girl really made me smile :)
Sophieey I don't think you'd be smiling if she had give you open heart surgery now would you
BigB It makes me smile to hear her ambition even if it can't be fufilled, don't be so harsh.
Sophieey she's the most normal one outta all of em
Sophieey me too she looks easy
George Boehringer Hey dude, the point of trolling is usually to be funny. The only thing funny about your comments is you lmao
My syndrome may be down, but my hopes are up
Respect, Respect 👍
Good on ya man

You stole that from another video I've seen it before
Luis Reyes it's a quote from a Brandon Rogers video
You don't normally see individuals with Down Syndrome and their families (or with any disability) being presented speaking in a normal every day way. It is always as the "other" and/or about their "problem". As an individual with a disability, all I ever want is to see more and more normalizing of "differentness", so that people can just be people and not face constantly being seen as "not normal", whatever normal is, right? That's what people need to get, that there's no ideal human and constructing an idea of one harms everyone. I first understood this concept for myself in 1986 when I heard a song by Depeche Mode "People are People." :) Btw, abortion was recommended to my mother. They said I would be mentally and physically disabled. Turns out I have a Master's degree and a physical disability to be sure, but not that severe. Doctors can tell you possible outcomes, but they can't determine the value that little human is going to contribute to humanity and the world.
Aazuredd Good for your mom and congrats to you for your success.
Aazuredd I don't know if you a male or female but I totally agree with your statement absolutely
What does that have to do with Down's?
God bless you!
True said. I feel you!❤❤
I cried when the couple started talking. how sweet omg. I love this couple. he bought her a 40 dollar ring
Not only do I work for an advocacy group for those with Down, I am proud to say that most of our clients and families have become very close to me and my heart over the last 28 years. I have seen them either grow up or move on to an older age. You really don't see many videos featuring older citizens with Down, as there is this assumption they are self-sustaining. Well, yes, that is indeed true, of sorts, but we give them all the love and support they could ever ask for. This video actually made me always continue to do my job for another 20 years or if I am forced to retire. That inspiring. Thank you for the upload, AJ+! And on a side note...I have been married now to my wife 30 years this in August; she too has Down and is as spunky and sassy today as when I first met her!
I think the parents of these children are so brave and kind, I hope they give those poor children a life of happiness, and be accepted by ppl who don't have down syndrome :)
:) I found humanity in this comment section
+Sophie Young it has become the exception nowadays right. ^^
+JohnnyX1239 Your profile picture and your comment don't match.
Don't let an extra chromosome get you down.
nah fam ill let it get me up tf u on about?
LOL
GOD DAMMIT NOOOOOOO
Loooooooool
You goin straight to hell my guy XD
I literally almost cried when the teenage girl was saying nice things about her mom :) :(
Wonderful video and a great chance to see people with Down Syndrome in a positive light as well as showing the awesome support from their families. My friend Sarah (black jacket and glasses) was one of the speakers in the video and I am so proud of everything she has accomplished. Keep up the great videos A&J!

I was watching this to properly understand how people with Down Syndome sound and how they talk. This is amazing, and I almost started crying.
These people are adorable.

Mlg Patrick Star Don't flatter yourself

Actually, I'd rather marry someone kind and loving with Down Syndrome, than someone who apparently enoys insulting people because they were born different.
So rest assured that the people in this video are far more attractive than you can ever aspire to be. :)
MrMeathead812 they are idiotic mongoloids
Your content is incredible. I really hope this channel grows. Keep up the good work!
I hate that people say that they're stupid. HATE IT. They're just like normal people, other than the speech impairments, and that's only sometimes. I'm friends with somebody with Down Syndrome, and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met.
+Fuck you no, of course I don't!
agree, they are full of love!
There are people with downs syndrome that have succeeded in life and several have a driving licence. Just because its maybe harder for them to learn doesn't meant its not a possibility.
If you think the side effects simply amount to speech impediments, then you clearly don't understand the condition.

They are absolutely inspiring and so cute! I love seeing the joy and hope in their faces. They may have differences in physical,intellectual appearance and health but they are fully capable of doing anything that others with Down syndrome can do. This really warmed my heart. ❤️
Omg that Mom and daughter team are soooooo adorable! 💕

3:20 awww this made me cry. mum is so happy and the daughter is SOOO sweet
My mum had twins 3 weeks ago and 1 was born with Down syndrome and we couldn't be more happy, we will always treat him the same as his twin brother and me and my older brother will look after them through life ❤️❤️
These are the realest, most respectful, most beautiful people on this earth and I love them all very much.
I cried, literally
I wish that all ppl with down syndrome become completely independent and live a healthy long life
Are any of us ever completely independent? Is it always terrible to live with others or get help from them? I don't think so. I think all people need to have power over their own life and to be able to make choices, but it's OK to also give and receive help from others :).
It's true that we really often underestimate the abilities of people with Down Syndrome and they can do so much more if they have the opportunities. But also everyone is different and I think those who can't live independently can still have great lives.
I'm in a club called united sound and we teach these kids how to play instruments :D I get to teach one with down syndrome and yes is so sweet!!! its easy for her to learn also 💓
Daniela Guardado aww that's so sweet and cool!
4:10 the love that is projecting from that woman is amazing.
There's this club at my school meet in the middle that you can help students with autism and Down syndrome and I love helping
Penelope Valladares It's pretty impressive to see someone as smart as everyone in that room combined. You must've felt like a god amongst mortals.
Penelope Valladares That's great! I bet you have a lot to offer them, and they have a lot to offer you, too. Ignore the trolls.
2words y tho
Penelope Valladares there was a club when I was in high school and all we did was make fun of these kids. That club was called " my buddies and I".
My little sister has Down syndrome and she has been through a lot she has had leukemia, heart problems, has lost all her hair two times, and is getting a hearing aid. And she was in the hospital for over a year. And had a port and has a bolt in her tongue.
May Jesus heal her completely in every way! Downs people seem to be some of the purest spirits on earth, and she must be such a strong spirit to have endured all that. I hope she is well now.
LAW FIRM?! Thats insane props to you
I love people with DS than normal people because they are more pure from heart ❤
I admire all the parents who have DS children. They are the real heroes coming from the comic books!!!
Awesome video, great effort ! Wt a brave children their parents n young.. Felt so emotional watching this..keep it up. 👍
Love AJ+, great video!
Wow these people have big ambitions, more power to them!
God bless these parents, true heroes and examples of moral strength
I work with kids who have special needs, most of them have downs. They are like the cutest everrrr!
I get emotional when watching stuff like this
Another great video!
They're just people, chill :)
@@shallowgod5539 no shit sherlock
People with downs aren't stupid, just differently abled!
Murders don't kill people, they just end their lives!
Maybe stupid is not the right word, but yes they are less smart that not disabled people.
@@Anna999994 you dont get it. They are less good for doing maths and logic problems but they have the same emotionnal intelligence as every one
@@lapizza7175 yes, you are right :)
Wow !!! 😢 I have a daughter has DS I’m not going tell u no lies it’s hard !!! Sometimes I be thinking life without her and then I stop (devil coming in ) then I think happy thoughts she made me who I am today i can’t thank her enough for saving my soul everyday is a challenge and every time we win thank you for this wonderful content and the ppl in the video I literally cried but tears of joy thank you

If you would like to watch it, You can find the Documentary on my Channel or search on RUclips for
Nicola and Jessica | Living With Down Syndrome
If you end up watching one, I would love to hear your feedback ☺️♥️
Wishing you a lovely Monday,
Steph
They’re all so adorable and pure
all of them are so beautiful! espically sarah and the other girls💖
My lil bro is also having down syndrome n I luv him so much,I feel these type of special kids are more pure and so loving,really whenever I see such kids n people I feel like crying I just feel dey are so adorable and cute n loyal may always god bless such kids
Whenever i see a family with a case like this it always makes me smile to see such great strong parents. Ungrateful we are. Thank Allah (God) for everything
🙂
I am trying to learn about my employee who has down syndrome. I like her a lot I want to be able to understand her more. Thank you for your perspective. 🥰
It’s so nice to hear the wisdom of others. Love this exposure. And love these sweet people.
oh my god! the baby's are so cute!!😍😍😍
That was a good video
3:21 so pretty girl
My name is Sam Piazza, I am born with Down syndrome. I am 30 years old going on 31 this march I have been working at PDQ People Dedicated to Quality for 8 years now and I don’t let my disability get in my way I live in Tampa Bay Florida all my life, I have a girlfriend that I have been with for three years she has down syndrome just like me and I have friends with the same disability just like me as well
I work with a woman with DS; she's 23. She is hard working, incredibly sweet, and we all love her so much! We all can't help but smile when she's around😁💓🥰
My nephew was born with Down Syndrome he kept getting in trouble at school for swearing so I talked him to swear in Polish he was actually smart enough to remember the words
they actually remember things really good my sister quotes sentences from tv shows like 10 years ago frequently
God bless those people !! 😊😊
I always wondered why people the DS were so optimistic and confident. It makes sense. Their parents are so encouraging.
People with Autism tend to be some of the most amazing people! Some have memories that you wouldn't believe! Others are amazing artists. And to top it off they're some of the most genuine and sweet people.
Amanda The Bean yes, correct.
Was that supposed to be a question?
I love both Hannah and her mother😭💕💕💕💕
They are all so happy and positive despite their condition, the same cannot be said for many of us
This should have a million views at least
My son is 19 non verbal serious heart issues didn't have no idea he had it till birth I love him so much but every day I see that he deserves so much more
It takes all kinds of people to colour a world with a vibrancy worth living for.
That's why I love Polish people
4 minute mark that baby should be a model. All cute kids.
Everyone here is so supportive until they see they actually have to get a major surgery and see that little girl as their surgeon...
bruh
+ice man why not
+ice man they can be just a bit slow. Watch what would you do on RUclips and U will know what I mean. There brains find it hard to process information as fast as the average human. Not saying they are dumb no I have a friend with D.S
+ice man shut the heck up U saddo. Hate the people who keep saying "We've got a downy!" or "downys brownies"! or Something. Go away and leave them alone.
+ice man U are dumb
Gosh Hannah seems like a beautiful person.
she has a wonderful mom as well
I'm going to pray for all the trolls in this comment section. That someone with a disability comes into ur lives and teaches u to be more compassionate and open minded.
What the fuck is wrong with people these days, they have 0 understanding that people don't choose to be born the way they are this generation makes me sick.I honestly think they are cute in a different way....... gosh
Petras Kopert preach it! There are so many ignorant jerks in these comments.
So sweet!!
@AJ+ You guys should do a video featuring people with Klinefelter's Syndrome. It's very rare, and most people try to avoid talking about it as a matter of embarrassment, I guess. It's very hard to find informations about it online. Please spread the awareness worldwide.
So much love
I feel terrible for people with Down syndrome… it seems like they are super aware of what they are missing and it’s so sad. That Hannah girl is so sweet it made me tear up lol
What a beautiful people ❤️❤️😍😍
People with downs are soooo adorable and awesome
very informational
What a beautiful group of people, such big hearts and so loving ,how anyone can make vile comments about any person with a disability is beyond vile I'm sure they think their being funny with their comments if only they knew how cruel they are makes me so angry 😡 how dare anyone make fun of anyone else what a awful world we live in,. 😥
this video is so cute.. it changed my thinking towards down syndromes ! ❤
My mom used to work with anne at hanson bridgett. My mom was a secretary there. She has a lot of stories about her.
Anne is awesome!!!
Reach for the stars !!!!!!!You can do it
03:21 the girl is so beautiful
My homies with the extra chromies. Nothing but love for these people
This is beautiful

# respect
mohd rafi you are romanticizing a disorder
Good for you I am special needs too
I once thought I was in denial despite living in the vicinity of the Chattahoochee. Turned out I was just in the shower.
mash'Allah such beautiful people
I don't want to be mean or offensive and I'm trying to be rude towards them but why do they have similar facial features I don't understand the science behind it
These are my team mates every time I play ranked solo que.
Lol what game
+Hecarim Jayce im fucking dead rn :Lmfaoo
+Hecarim Jayce savage comment
+Tyler S. the new ranking system balanced/re-calibrated the ranks, you can look up the statistics yourself. Your new rank is your true rank.
Rainbow six or csgo
They so cute 😍
Little babies r so cute😍😘😘💝
Hannah was so nice 😊
I think at some point they found the answer to everything, as to what happened next, was more surprising. Perhaps Golden Rose Ice Chic nail lacquer to fix Dawn syndrome? Or red laundry detergent? Something like Perlux red?
I feel like such a weak person bc I don't know how I'd cope if it were my child. I imagine feeling so hopeless, dejected and much like a failure. the compassionate, rational side of me knows this isn't true and canteen offer words of advice but man I doubt if it were my reality I could do it and that makes me feel like trash just admitting that.
i criedddd dude
Ok so I'm going to be a little passively disrespectful here, but the girl at 3:18 is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, not just for those with Down's, but in a universal sense.
