    My daughter was born with down syndrome and she is the love of my life.she eventually passed away from a heart attack, as heart problems are common with those who have down syndrome. But she was perfect to me.

      Blatantly false.
      DS people DO suffer from severe intellectual impairment along with heart issues, infertility, and early dementia.
      DS is a severe intellectual disability, not just a cosmetic condition.
      Most DS adults have the intellectual capacity of an 8-9 year old child and likely won't be independent.

I have hearing loss and find it even harder to hear some who have hearing loss than most might. But, even I know to try to have patience with listening, ask for words to be said more strongly if need be, and try hard to understand or ask them to write things that if you cannot understand them. It's just that simple.

    Something they should've added is "they're always so happy!". It's similar to the infantilization thing...people see them as children and many associate childlike behaviors to happiness. People with DS can be angry, sad, scared and experience all sorts of other emotions just like someone without DS.

    • @MissJessyeNorman

      Yes, and not just as fleeting emotions. Some people who have the syndrome are jerks--while others are kind, just like the rest of the world. People, wanting to pity them, don't want to entertain the idea that they too can be morally flawed, have incredible moral character--and everything in between...

    My brother with down syndrome, who we adopted as a baby, is an adult who cannot read, cannot write (except his name, but even then with difficulty), cannot make proper sentences, would not necessarily do great at keeping personal hygiene, and will never live by himself, have a "proper" job, or exercise his citizenship independently (which is why he lives with other adults with special needs in a specialized home and will probably have to stay for the rest of his life). He went to kindergarten with me, went to great specialized private schools, he sees a speech therapist and that makes little difference. The home he lives in allow him to cook in supervised groups, go on great holidays and do activities or "jobs" together. He is happy there.
    Of course he has feelings, and thoughts, and he has hobbies and passions. Of course he went through puberty and teenage rebellion and now enjoys not living at home anymore. He is a human being and deserves love, care and respect.
    My point is, there are different degrees of DS. The lovely, successful, independent individuals in this video are lucky. While a positive and most importantly RESPECTFUL light should be shone on people with DS, it is important to understand that life is not as (seemingly, anyway) uncomplicated for all of them.

    • @RandeeJ9

There are just as many people with DS whom these stereotypes are true. Although everyone deserves love and respect, this small sample of what some people experience is not the true representation.

It simply seems like they're ignoring the fact that it is to make it "look normal", instead of embracing it and really making it normal (=more accepted by society)

Some of the people that I support who have down syndrome barely need any support. Literally just popping into their home once a day to check on them. Maybe if they have a bill to pay we go to the bank or if they need a letter explained to them I will help them with that. Other people who I support who have down syndrome can't wash without support and need 24 hour care. I work in a small community where everyone knows everyone else. All the people I support grew up together, went to the same school & having the same services supporting them. So no, it's not about people having different opportunities.

  • @rachelnstephens

    As someone who volunteers for a group that centers around adults with developmental disabilities, this video is extremely misleading. These people in this video are extremely high functioning.
    There are definitely varying degrees with which people's disability affect them and this video only focused on the highest functioning group.
    People who make the assumptions that this video are complaining about are not malicious and they're genuine questions.
    There are people with Downs who can't read, have to live in group homes as adults, need constant supervision for their own safety and need assistance doing basic things that you and I take for granted every day. It's better that people are sensitive to people with down syndrome's limitations, rather than impose impossible standards that all but the highest of functioning people with down syndrome could never achieve.
    I'm afraid that people will be upset or disappointed if the person they know with down syndrome isn't as high functioning as these people after watching this video.

    • @CoolGuy-kz2ti
      @CoolGuy-kz2ti 7 років тому +26

      Rachel Stephens Yea, but I didn't realise there were high functioning people with Down's Syndrome until I saw this video. And just out of curiosity is whether or not the person is high-functioning decided by their genetics or something or is it down to the treatment they receive as a child?

    • @susannalluch7663
      @susannalluch7663 7 років тому +19

      Rachel Stephens In a sense it might be misleading. The thing is that for most cases, if all the people with down's syndrome were stimulated and helped since they were born, they would be high functioning. If they had the proper help, most people with condition would be able to read, write.... Not everyone is born to caring parents or even parents with time to take care of them.
      My sister has down's syndrome, and her and I reckon around 70% of the people at her "special school" are high functioning. You can tell wich people come from a caring background.
      So I don't think this vídeo is so misleading. In Many cases depends on what their society can do for them and the special help they recieve.

    • @rachelnstephens
      @rachelnstephens 7 років тому +15

      Cool Guy It can definitely be a combination of things, as many people will have a combination of ailments. Some can work, drive and live alone, and on the opposite spectrum, some will never speak, will be in diapers and need a full time care nurse. To say low functioning people are just products of neglect is incorrect, just as assuming all high functioning people come from fabulous homes is incorrect.
      My biggest fear is that people will assume everyone should be on the same level and won't understand that some people won't have the same capabilities, so they'll need extra care and understanding.
      Edited for spelling.
