    We had a couple in our neighborhood that were intellectually disabled. They didn't marry because the woman's mother refused to give permission. They did live together and raised two smart kids. I was amazed at how resourceful they were when it came to taking care of their kids and making sure they got all they needed. It opened my mind to how we underestimate the abilities of people who are different than us.

    When I was in High School I dated a guy who both of his parents were intellectually challenged. Mom had Downs syndrome and if I remember correctly, his dad had asburgers syndrome. Anyway, they were lovely parents and he was a great kid. No reason to ever oppose love. Not like this.

    People with Aspergers aren't intellectually disabled by definition, it's no longer a legitimate diagnosis, but back when it was, it was defined as a form of autism where the person has an average or above average IQ and no language delay.

    My brother has special needs unfortunately he’s also elliptic diagnosised MR and is non verbal so his quality of life differs,, BUT with that being said, HE CAN MANAGE TO DO OTHER THINGS!! He can dress himself help our mother with heavy things and use the bathroom unassisted...which is major to us!🤗Beyond my relationship with my brother, Ive dedicated my personal career to those with special needs, and I have had professionally encounters and found that those who have disabilities or Down syndrome are indeed MORE than capable of loving, companionships friendships etc. WE really could stand to learn a lot from their community! The level of compassion and understanding is like no other! We seldom get to find our soulmate and this woman found hers! This was a amazing and beautiful story of LOVE and HOPE I wish her peace in knowing that she was the very best wife and friend to her husband and one day they will be reunited. Thank you for posting this❤️😇

    Thank you for taking that on as a career. I work in an administrative function for an agency that assists the developmentally disabled, and I can see it is hard work and requires patience and dedication. Since we are supported by taxpayers and donations, we can not afford to reward our staff financially as much as they deserve, but there is an intangible emotional reward that most people do not receive from their job.

    i have never felt the pure, uncut love like the love of my friends and family with down’s syndrome. the marriage counseling and classes are a great idea, simply because it’s very often for people with ds to get overwhelmed with emotion and that can make marriage hard. so when they have clear instruction on how to talk to each other and work things out, it paces the way for a happy, loving relationship for the rest of their lives. heartbreaking, but such a beautiful story.

    I wish we could make viewing this video mandatory for anyone who ever thought they understood Down Syndrome. Anyone who ever assumed that being born with that condition meant living a life within a set of immovable boundaries. Turns out the only boundaries these amazing people can't get around are the ones we "normally functioning" humans cast in from of them. Folks like Kris and Paul teach us lessons in joy, happiness and love in their truest and purest forms. Sadly, though not complex, these lessons can only be learned by those capable of living in this world without the necessity of judging people, things and circumstances they don't know and can't understand.

    So happy they got to have the joy of being married. Such a sweet lady and you can plainly see she loved her husband who passed the same way any "normal" adult did.

    So beautiful. They definitely do deserve a chance. They are human just like everyone else and I bet they do love even more than we do. They were an adorable couple. ❤
