    He’s got work stress, relationship stress, parents on his back to get a full time job. Sounds just like the rest of us! You’re an inspiration!

    What a great guy. Clearly, he is quite intelligent and hard working. And, I agree that he is an inspiration to families with children of special needs who come into the hospital. Good for everyone that this man has a decent job.

    “Do you like the paperwork?”
    “Not really, but it needs to be done.”
    The way he takes the less pleasurable parts of his job in stride is honestly enviable. Here’s hoping he’s still doing good out there.

    Not gonna lie, I was expecting him to only be a "morale" employee, there to escort patients inside and make their day easier because of his personality, you know, the usual things you'd expect from a Down's syndrome person. But no, they have him doing some of the business/office/paperwork part of the job too. That's awesome!

  • @MoistCrumpet

    Back when I was once working as a volunteer retail worker, one of my coworkers had special needs. But he was the best worker in the store in my opinion. When I mentioned this to one of the staff she told me that he couldn’t get a job because as soon as he goes to the interview and they take one look at him they immediately decide not to pick him. Having down syndrome doesn’t make you stupid. It just means your brain works differently.
    This guy has an actual job too. Its not simple mindless work that a lot of other people with down syndrome have. He does paperwork and everything. Thats awesome!

    @Gigolowattz 2 года назад +4

    It may seem “scary” but I think society should allow more people with disabilities to study the disabilities they might have. We’d probably get some real progress and answers as to why certain conditions are worse or more fatal than others. I feel like it’s only the “norms” of society who would be afraid. I could imagine people with disabilities would want to be seen in certain work forces. Society treats anyone who isn’t “normal” as a total outcast & im sure it sucks
