    Nick is amazing. I actually have a 12 year old son named Nicholas with a chromosome disorder. He is non-verbal and is the size of a 5 year old. There is something about these kids that make them very special. They have a bigger heart than most people and are just a gift to life. Even with the crap they have to go through, they are still so happy. It is amazing.

    He may never grow tall, but he's got the heart of someone 100x his size. Big things come in small packages. Sometimes something that can seem devastating is the best thing for us. He has got a friend in me.

      They literally said early in the video that his small head size means that his vocal folds are also small, giving him a high pitched voice. Microcephaly (small head) is a part of the condition. Did you watch it?

    What a wonderful, fun-loving team his family is for Nick. You can see they are proud of him and love him dearly. Nick's attitude and strength are a direct result of his family's true acceptance, love, and encouragement. This is the spiritual power of love for everyone to witness. If everyone could show this love to all people what a wonderful world this would be. Let's all try one day at a time.

    What a strong mama. I couldn't imagine my baby being poked and scarred and weak. God bless this family. Put peace in their hearts lord.

    I follow this incredible young man on Facebook....as I'm sure most people reading this do too. 🤗💙👍 He is such a huge personality with an extremely strong life force.....JUST KNOWING HIM...EVEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND NOT PERSONALLY, MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON. I don't know if he realizes just how many lives he has touched, and just how many truly love and and care about him. ❤🙂....I know he has made my world a better place to live! Thanks Nick....I'm proud to call you my FRIEND! 💙🙏🥰...Luv Kim, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
