Chiiiiill, chill bringer lol
Jessica J I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THIS SAME COMMENT 😂😂😂👍🏼
Haha, I was just about to comment that and say, "Saaaaame"
Like the guy sitting next to her
"'Down syndrome sufferer' the only thing I suffer from is bad attitudes" That's the best thing I've heard in the past century
literally
Chill Bringer TBHHH
Chill Bringer absolutely brilliant.
ikr
But it's not true. It's a profound disability - most can never learn to read & write. The vast majority never live independently.
"you're gonna be famous one day Tommy" She was right, he's now starring in Line of Duty, one of the most famous BBC dramas produced in the last decade!!
Oh my gosh! Hes the guy from line of duty. Terry Boyle!
Yes! I thought it was him!
yep!! i’ve always told him he was going to be famous. i’m so lucky to be able to know him. such a lovely guy
@@bryony-mayrichardson2525 aww yes he's such a great actor, brilliant in Line of Duty, you must be very proud!
“kissing is my favorite pastime... i reckon...” i love this guy
"You don't like him?" "Not in the slightest" 😂
MOOD
The minute I heard that I knew this video was going to be PURE GOLD
His voice... Ufff
He's Talking about Nigel Farage He doesn't like Nigel, niether do i Good on him!
He was savage and such a mood tho 😂
“She’ll do everything, we’ll just take the scenic route” ❤😂
Obviously that is an embellishment bcz nobody can do ''everything'' including those who does not have any kinda syndrome, like Downs and others, soo.
“Kissing is my favorite pastime” ~ what a lad !!
'the only thing I suffer from is bad attitude' QUEEEEENNNN
I'm the 420th like 😎👌
jasmine, she’s my fav!
he has a really attractive voice hey! ooh imagine if he could sing
"The only thing I suffer from is bad attitudes" As someone on the autism spectrum I relate to this so much
Ariel M. I have autism too (PDA subset) and honestly ableism is responsible for way more of my struggles than autism
Me too, I have autism and Down syndrome.
same bro- i mean i can be a shitty piece of shit sometimes, but i usually don't mean it.
Same here I have autism and I feel the same way too
Very much so indeed.
The lady with the red hair has so much personality, I love it
ikr i love her energy lol i would never get bored with her
I'm autistic and I have ADHD, and it's so nice to hear other neurodivergent people. You say some very relatable things. :)
please elaborate. what is a neurodivergen. is it a plane , a bird a planet. i am only knowledgeable about the term ADHD (abnormaly diverse hetrosexual dog). XXX
@@user-hj5os7ci4yso honestly, I can’t tell if you’re trying to be insulting, and you spelled heterosexual wrong btw.

"You'll be famous one day, Tommy" "Yeah, well, even more" Love that guy xD
lmao *frown*
and the side-eye he gave her lol
Alyssa Huber - The Life of an Aspie ikr love him
What did he mean?
that he's already famous...he's trying to get even more famous
The guy in the blue shirt has a good voice
And a wicked sense of humor
He stage acts too, in Shakespeare productions with disabled actors.
My baby cousin was diagnosed with Down’s syndrome while my aunt was still pregnant with her. She just turned 3, and I’m so excited for her future!
The man in the blue t-shirt has the best sense of humour he is hilarious😂
ikr and the accent makes it even better
ayyyy the phandom ❤
how
***** you said he was an actor
he's so handsome 😄😄
“Kissing is my favourite pastime”
Everything he said was hilarious, we all need a friend with that sense of humor.
Reeeeeee!

That man was so cool and funny!
We know Down syndrome is real, but is there such a thing as Up syndrome?

“2:12 where mum says “I hope not” and embraces and hugs her child with her eyes closed! That moment almost had me in tears! 😘
"The only thing I suffer from is bad attitudes" I died 😂
Madi22 :P Well,... sometimes their speech can be difficult to understand, even more so for those with hearing loss, cus their speech might not always be sharp enough to discern what is said. 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.
Madi22 that part played when I read this
She made my day
That was my favorite part!
April Morone what do that have to with anything
“Kissing is my favorite pass time.” ME.
Hello Zane
love th pfp
We need to get this guy known all over the world
Can’t relate
"What makes you angry?" "Nigel Farage" Same mate, same.
"We'll just take the scenic route." Applause, respect and admiration to you, madam.
It doesn't work that way.
I'm a bit unclear, was she the babies mum or was the other woman her mum?
I couldn't even tell that the woman that was with the mum and baby has d.s
amy g, me either!
amy g same here
has DS, not is DS, but that aside, there is a form of DS called mosaic DS that is much less apparent. She could have that.
Taylor Mix The baby has DS, but so does the woman with glasses. We know this because the mum asks her questions about people talk to her.
Shie H. you're right, HAS sounds much better. Shame on me. :(
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.
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...
MissJessyeNorman Exactly.
+MissJessyeNorman good point
Once I met a friend who told me her older sister had DS and I guess I accidentally made the "Oh how sweet, bless her heart" face, because she immediately responded "Oh no no no, don't, she's a total jerk!!" Hahaha
lol an individual with ds I serve is usually grumpy and dry most of the time
My brother has downsydrome but his is much different than these people. He can’t speak yet but we’re still trying to help him speak. He’s 15 right now. I love this video and I totally think people need to educate themselves more on downsydrome.
yup
@@luke-db2es Hear, hear. See my comment. I suspect my viewpoint is going to generate a lot of hate. Flaxen Saxon
God bless your brother! I hope she learns to speak
does he have no voicebox??? xxx
This opened my eyes. I've never seen people with DS like this. Usually the physical symptoms and verbal symptoms in my experience are severe. The Northern woman mentioning the head tilt really shocked me. So, what a video, brilliant for sharing and my eyes are opened.
That guy's voice is awakening something in me.
@@raclettepp dude 😂
Right!?!?!
@@nicholasgerry6931 I mean, it's logical
Put it back.

Look, it's either Brendan Urie, or THIS GUY. Wait... I'm not gay... 😂
I think he might make a good voice actor too, possibly reading books for Kindle.

I loved the way that mother hugged her daughter❤❤❤
Petition for Tommy to do voice acting (Just so we can hear his voice in literally every single movie no matter how old the chara, what they look like, etc.)
"What makes you angry?" "Nigel Farage" ahahahah what a legend
Sophie Georgina he's clearly been manipulated into saying that..
Sophie Georgina Nigel Farage is the no.1 legend
Thank you! I could understand him and my captions are off. Now to Google who that person is. 😂
I love Nigel Fuck anyone who doesn’t agree.
+Ban The Fox Sin Of Greed The reason most people don't like Nigel is because he is an enormous prick with an unhealthy obsession, who lied to and manipulated the British voters to see that obsession become reality.
My uncle (god rest his beautiful soul) held 2 jobs for twenty years. Back in the 60's, he was the first person with Down Syndrome in his community to hold a job. (He worked in Wendy's and a hospital cafeteria).
Jacketeer : good for u I dont care
nick Nobody cares for ur care
Enough of the hate, I'm sure he's inspired so many people
Good for him! That's amazing!!!
TriHard That's awfully rude.
In my early 20's I worked as a bartender and my boss at the time had some kind of agreement with a city to host a local group of people with Down's Sydrome on a biweekly basis. Altho my boss was a piece of shit that loved exploiting people- and probably had that agreement to his benefit in 1st place, I always thought that was cool of him. But that's not the point... the point is that I've never encountered a group of 30ish people who were so positive and happy. Now a decade later I really miss the laughs we had.
☺
Everyone thirsting over Tommy’s voice is a fat mood
A speech impediment is not a fetish.
@@bestrafung2754 I think they were referring to his tone, not his speech impediment..?
That "kissing is my favourite pastime" guy should have his own show. Fuckin hilarious. Great voice.
Ikr he's so funny
Indeed
Yeah, he’s great
I would totally listen to a podcast if he did one.
He sounds like Bill Nighy
The guy with the blue shirt has an AMAZING narrating voice!
Portsanta yes! Exactly what I was thinking I absolutely love it
daphne wilson I have a deep voice as well, but his voice is VERY soothing and I think a good word to describe it is "posh"!
He remmber me about the guy who make vines thomas some thing
For some reason he reminds me of Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)
Manuel Ramirez Thomas Sanders
I LOVE this mother's response at 2:08. It's so precious
IT JUST MAKES ME MISS MY AUNT SUSAN. SHE OVERCAME DOWN SYNDROME AND A DISADVANTAGED START IN LIFE TO BE A FEDERAL EMPLOYEE.

Dude, same.

Tommy is an actual legend. His voice gives me butterflies.
Really helped me❣️ I am pregnant and my NT scan made me kind of upset and the conversations with some people just made me feel so down ....love you guys so much ❣️❤️
I love the guys voice I want him to voice a video game character
A video game villain specifically
Bad Gamer Plays true
Bad Gamer Plays 😂 love it
Jason McNeil i would be down for it :)
Schockyboy I would be down (syndrome)
"The only thing I suffer from is bad attitudes" same.
"What makes you angry?" "Nigel Farage" This guy is my new best friend.
I had a friend who worked at a group home as a live-in carer. One of the residents was in a lot of emotional distress because his girlfriend had been moved to another home because, apparently, it wasn't appropriate for people with Down Syndrome to have relationships. Witnessing people being treated like this made me so angry. What gives them the right to deny others happiness?
I have seen this happen with Autism resident "communties" as well. Most in patient facilities are full of human rights violations, from not allowing patients to date, to inflicting intentional physical harm to residents
Indeed. A lot of abuse goes on and in the "community" where my friend worked, the staff felt trapped by the way the system worked: "free accommodation" and "pocket money" in return for working there. So near impossible to leave unless they had savings stashed away. If you look up L'Arche Community scandals, quite a few horrors pop up... horrible.
If anyone said ANYTHING like this to my brother, he would get so, so sad. He isn't as good as vocalizing how he feels, such as these adults are, but oh gosh. If someone told him he couldn't learn or live independently, it would CRUSH him. If I didn't crush them first.
Leah Richards ikr (my sister has got DS)
Leah Richards I hope he doesn't throw away his shot (your profile photo)
Leah Richards same here my brother was depress for a while b/c of the way he is. Which broke my heart
Rosemery Martinez That comment really got me. I have brothers myself and because of that reading things like that about other peoples brothers, like your brother, breaks my heart too. Hope he's well
thanks
"Of course they can because i live independently." DEAD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Greenfield1003 yeah probably by now
Wait why is that funny
YEEEAAASSS!!! I FKN LOVE HER!!!!!!
Elizabeth_958 why is it funny?
Thank you all so much for speaking out!!!
That guy makes my cry when he talks. Is not a bad thing, but his voice is very cute.

"What makes you angry ? " "smoking ,....Nigel farage "
Well to be hanest who isint mad about it.
Lol same
And im like damn lemme smoke in peace dude
I love that "she'll be able to do everything, we'll just take the scenic route "😊💕🦄
I have learned more from my student who has DS as a paraprofessional about love, patience, kindness, and positivity than any other job before. Honestly, he keeps me going and inspires me to embrace happiness.
The only thing I suffer from is *bad ATTITUDE* What a queen
Duhlayna honestly lol
Honestly we stan
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.
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.
FreakyBo0o yes, thank you for pointing this out. It is a disservice to portray people with high functioning DS as the representation for all people with DS. 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.
They scare me
my sister is the same. she's 16 but has what seems the mentality of a 6 year old. the only thing that she is surprisingly good at is video games and we're trying to use that to help her learn but when it becomes educational her attention span plummets. i just hope one day, maybe by the time she's in her 30's she is able to live somewhat independantly.
FreakyBo0o you
What did you think about the question about DS being a disease? To me, it should even be a question, it is a disease that can badly affect the person to various degrees. 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)
“She’ll be able to do anything. We’re just going to take the scenic route.” That’s gotta be the best response to a question like that.
I think for a lot of people who have Down syndrome it can be frustrating because you have all these thoughts and things you want to say or express and it can take you longer to get it out or get your point across and people lose patience
"the only thing i suffer from is bad attitudes" SAVAGE AS FUCK
The guy with blue shirt sounds like Harry Potter
An-Anna you know there is a movie, right? She/he meant the actor, who's name in the movie is Harry Potter
Your local sandwich that’s why they said ‘I think you mean Daniel Radcliffe’ because Daniel Radcliffe is the actor who plays Harry Potter. 🤦♀️
Maya I know, but maybe the original commenter meant the character in the movie
Omega Gaming i think he sounds more like ron from the movie
So true
I just found out that my baby could be born with Down syndrome and I was really upset but after seeing this I’m so relieved and happy. I’m so glad that I can see people living happy full lives and now I feel so much better thank you so much.
I don't want to worry you but you won't know if your baby will be high functioning
@@Cutekumavt terms like high and low functioning are now out of use, please do not use them to describe disabilities. Everyone is unique.
@@theboujieproletariat so what do you say for people who can't take care of themselves?
@@Cutekumavt you say “high care needs”. So I’m disabled and have help washing my hair and doing shopping. I would say “disabled with low care needs” :)
@@Cutekumavt Yeah, you're right. My uncle as down syndrome and he can't do much. He actually is like a child. I think this video just show the high functioning ones and they should show the low functioning as well but I guess their message would then be lost.
really helped me to understand more about how would it feel to put myself in their shows.
"people with down syndrome can't learn" *chucks paper* "aaalright then" I could not stop laughing
Nica Watt l
Watt are you talking about! .... Ill leave now😶
TheFallon Vids HAHAHHAHAHHA puns
Most never learn to read or write.
Nica Watt yeah they can
My friend is in this! She is the lady next to the woman with the baby. She actually has mosaic down syndrome. It's basically the same thing but we are not affected as much then with people who have full on down syndrome. I say we because I have it too.
girlygrace 6575 you're so pretty
oh wow cause i was saying she seems really high functioning. Never seen someone like that very interesting she is beautiful
girlygrace 6575 she seems perfectly fine tbh 😊😊
I didn't even know that existed, thank you for educating me :)
I was thinking she seemed as though it was more mild.
This is beautiful and so encouraging ❤️
I feel like they are just the brought up with a extra heart and humour they seem like a normal person with extra happiness🖤💝
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.
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?
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.
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.
It's down to the help they get when little. My mum taught me to read at 2 1/2. I have DS. The stupid American girl is talking rubbish saying we can't read, write and we are in nappies!
Charlie Fien, She literally said "There are people with Downs that can't read" not "Nobody with Downs can read".
No One going to mention how beautiful the girl in the green top is?
Bethany Asher. She's also in entertainment, so she has worked in print and television.
And the guy in the blue top is really handsome !!!
Audrey the Unicorn yea I was about to say that
Audrey the Unicorn I think everyone in this video is beautiful.

CC well what kinda of scientist, it’s kind of a broad subject, there’s 3 in the space field and another 2 in the medical field, plus I think there’s 2 in the psychological field but I’m not 100% sure, you might wanna do some research before you post a comment bud :)
@@theatlasjoker6339 >1/1,000,000 people with Down Syndrone are scientists, I bet you feel so silly right now
CC 1 in 1000 chance of baby born with Down syndrome out of about 360,000 births world wide to give an average that around 360 people with Down syndrome born a day, I’ll say it’s 0.5 since you said less then one so I’ll multiply buy two and divide 2,000,000 by 360 which gives me about 5556 and divide that by 365 for days in a year which come out to roughly 15 years and given the average life span is roughly 80 years, divide 80/15 and you come out with about 5, there are at the very least currently 5 scientist with Down syndrome statistics wise, I bet you feel so silly right now
CC I did state that I knew of 5 for sure and two more that I wasn’t 100% sure of sooo...thanks for helping me prove my point :)
I have autism but it wasnt discovered until i was 14. My parents are super supportive and always find ways which help me to take in information easier!
honestly an extra chromosome doesn't make you a "cripple to society" it's literally a birth defect that could of happened to any of us, society should be a little less cruel on these people.
Society is very cruel when you're different, especially when you're a child. For example I was regularly tormented in school simply for having red hair. It must be much worse for people with Down Syndrome.
PugnaciousBadger it’s usually either people are scared and don’t understand it. Or the don’t want to understand and In that case it’s just ignorance really.

Hi Chloe, I am the founder of a Project called A Million Voices and I’ve recently released a Mini Documentary on Down Syndrome. If you would like to watch it, You can find the Documentary on my Channel or search on KZhead 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
“You don’t like him?” “Not in the slightest” “kissing is my favorite pastime” I like this guy, this guy is a riot lmao
*"People with Down Syndrome can't learn."* *"Yeah."* **casually throws paper** *"Alright then."*
Most never learn to read or write.
Um wrong. My daughter has Down syndrome. She's non verbal but can read. The problem is that they have hypotonia and many have apraxia as well which makes motor planning difficult. That's why programs like S2C and the like help them output because it takes fine motor out of the way and grooves in the pattern to select letters to spell
I love what that mom of the baby says," yeah she'll get there we are just taking the scenic route." that's going to be a comeback for when people ask about my son who has chiari and autism.
"kissing is my favorite pastime, i reckon," made me laugh so hard lol

At a summer camp/school there were a few Downs Syndrome kids and man were they smart! My favorite camper was Charlie. He had Downs Syndrome and at the end of the 8 weeks we all went horseback riding. He'd never been on a horse before but looking at him ride you never would've known it and he had a spirited horse. He lagged at the end of the line and he had to catch up. So what did Charlie do? He galloped to catch up. He rode that horse like a pro. And sense of humor? He had everyone in stitches. He was such a joy to be around.
"We'll take the scenic route" so sweet I almost cried :')
Melissa Well when someone takes a scenic route, they usually take a long while to complete it as they are looking at the beautiful scene, therefore they walk on the route slowly. She is saying that her daughter will learn how to do things slowly. 🏞🌄
