    Indeed, what a sweet point. Yes, because they're not trying so hard to abstract its purpose and what such a dynamic does to their overall emotions. They mentally are better off in that way, to not have such a need to mindlessly abstract and make a song and dance about marriage and relationship as if it requires some artistic or poetic interpretation or overachieving, Olympian nature. This is why this channel is so great, it showcases how beautiful, curious, and/or livable life can be with varying perspectives of how it works.

    Absolutely! As a parent, it’s our responsibility to ensure we give our children the tools they need to survive and cope in a world regardless of any disability they have. My eldest is autistic and although not diagnosed, hardly anyone would know he is on the spectrum because we’ve taught him how to speak to strangers, how to hold a conversation, what people expect in social situations, and he can cope now. He used to get so anxious but that is now just a memory for him, not his actuality now. It’s all about highlighting their strengths and giving them tools to cope with the areas they are weaker in. I love these guys because they compliment each other so well!

My uncle was not high functioning enough to live independently (though many are of course!), but was always a joy to be around, for everyone who knew him, and had a very happy life! I have always gravitated toward Downs people since then, volunteering at the local special needs agency just to get to hang out with them . May you and your family have as fun and rewarding an experience with your new blessing as my family did with ours ❤️

    @@hannahwitts1339 Because a lot of times it can help people, especially with autism, to have very specificly phrased questions or else it can cause confusion or overload be ause many autistic people tend to think about things very much in detail and deeply and thoroughly. For example: A teacher at school sets the assignment "imagine you're on a holiday and write a card home". A neurotypical person might just write some shallow things and use some typical postcard phrases in them without much meaning, a neurodivergent person might be irritated by that task because, of course, what you write in a postcard and how you phrase it depends on who exactly at home you are writing to (grandparent, parent, young sibling, best friend, etc.) and also where you are on your vacation (snow, sea, woods, mountains, city) and how long you are staying there (just for a weekend, a week, several weeks) and for what purpose you came there (have an adventure, relax, meet with a friend who loves away, etc.). Another example: Someone asking "what colour is an elephant" would typically get the response "grey" from a neurotypical person because grey is what elephants are usually portrayed as. An autistic person, however, might think about an elephant in india vs. in africa (where they have different shades of skin colour) or about an elephant covered in mud or even their blue toy elephant and might be confused whether to answer "grey" or "brownish" or "blue" or whatever. Giving specific instructions (i. e. asking "what colour does an elephant have who was born in india and has clean skin) can clear up these multiple options and make it easier to not have misunderstandings when communicating.

    I’m expecting my first child and she has Down syndrome, I keep thinking to name her Charlotte and call her Charlie. I loved when Charlie said, “having Down syndrome and autism is a normal thing.” This is a wonderful interview, I like this couple very much 💕 they make me happy.

She loves everything about him and vice versa. I strongly believe when we are able to see the beauty in our children’s differences, others will as well. 🫶🏻

    My girlfriend and I are both disabled. She’s a stroke survivor with aphasia and an auditory processing issue with oral speech, and I have PTSD, HPPD, anxiety, chronic depression and suspected adhd/autism. Our issues are very different but often that’s what makes us good for one another. I mention this because I think a lot of people think life is over with a disability, it’s not. There is someone out there who will love you for you.

    I had an elderly down syndrome patient who was at the end of her life. She was a mother and grandmother. She was a GREAT mother and grandmother! She opened my eyes sooo much, and i would absolutely never question parenthood for anyone with a disability. Edit: This was 17 years ago at the beginning of my career. When I 1st read her chart, I thought it was mistaken. I wrongfully had preconceived notions and judgment. It was ALL erased immediately when I saw her interact with her children and grandchildren! She taught me some very valuable lessons. I'm so glad I got to witness her love and care for her family first hand!

    Part of that is they often lived with parents or nursing homes and were infantilized and did not mature to no fault of their own.

    My dad has untreatable paranoid schizophrenia and my mom is a Korean immigrant. They didn't speak the same language, but they fell in love with each other. My dad is non-verbal now due to several strokes from complications with his medications. My mom and dad have loved and stood by each other for almost 30 years. I have witnessed the meaning of love as connection, empathy, sympathy, joy, and respect. Now I'm a psychiatric nurse and I have my own son.
