How sick do you have to be to bully someone for a condition they didn’t choose to have.

My godmother had Down syndrome. As a kid I noticed she would pretend she didn’t know how to do something and others would do it for her. One day I told her “I know you’re smart, you’re not getting away with that with me” and she laughed and easily and quickly did the task she was trying to pawn off on me. The way she figures it, if people want to make incorrect perceptions instead of actually asking questions and learning, why not let them in a way that at least benefits you as well.

Honestly this series is one of the most interesting on the platform it gives so much awareness to so many different topics and walks of life. Absolutely love it.

I'm happy you're actually covering this misunderstood topic, I feel like there's a lot of misinformation that you cleared up by doing this interview

I'm a survivor of attempted murder, it's a topic that's surprisingly never talked about. I've personally never met anyone who's gone through this and it would help other survivors feel less alone. Please consider it

When Kennedy said she told her mom "No, thanks. I have Down Syndrome" when her mom asked her to clean her room it reminded me a bit of the Swedish mass calling in "too gay to go to work" as a protest to homosexuality being considered an illness in Sweden. Sometimes acting this way is a really good way of demonstrating how ridiculous people are when they keep underestimating what you can do 😊You guys are awesome!

I love this cause it honestly discusses a condition that it typically infantilized and it's great seeing adults treated like adults.

There was a girl in my Sign Language class with Down Syndrome struggling with fine motor movements in her hands. The professor was very cruel because it took her longer to make her handshapes and kept getting frustrated with her.

my little cousin has down syndrome , i feel it’s very misunderstood and things like this can really help get the representation they need :)

everyday im so proud of my older brother. he was born in poland and once he was born, nurses told my mom that he wouldn't be more than a "vegetable." but nearly 30 years later and the dude is BILINGUAL, a very dedicated gamer, insane lego builder, has a phenomenal memory, and just a very sweet and caring person, and of course sometimes annoying just like all siblings are. i wish people weren't so mean and judgmental sometimes :/

my childhood friend passed about 3 months ago she had down syndrome. She passed away due to a heart condition that was linked to her down syndome. She was 13, thank you Anthony for spreading awareness on this misunderstood topic. RIP to all the people with daddy own syndrome who has died young we all love you. Rest in peace to my dear childhood friend Shreeyaa who passed away way too young. Thank you again Anthony, I love you. 25/04/22🤍🕊

Anthony is so respectful he doesn’t try baby talk them he treats them like grown people which is who they are

Matthew is extremely articulate. More than many people I've known or worked with! We have to tear down stereotypes at all cost!

When I was younger in high school all neurodivergent people used to group together to survive in highschool and we created strong networks of love and support. It made me so happy seeing this. We used to hear the r word get thrown at us all the damn time. Thanks for showing people with down syndrome respect, and other people who are neurodivergent, it means a lot.

I actually know Kennedy personally and I can confidently say she's a wonderful, strong woman. I'm so glad I was able to see her on this interview! She deserves any and all love she gets so seriously, go follow her ❤

As someone with OCD, I really relate to what Zach said about not stuttering while acting. When I'm acting, I feel like my OCD melts away. I wonder if it has to do with certain parts of the brain

Matthew is my cousin:)

I hate people who bully people for something they can’t control at all. It absolutely is heartbreaking for these people who go through the bullying.

When I was really young, like 5, I had a boy with down syndrome in my pre school class. For ages, I was terrified of him. My teachers had to keep him away from me because of how scared I was. When I was 6, I finally made my peace with him and wasn't scared anymore. When I started 1st grade he was in the same school as me. His brother was in my class (as well as another boy with down syndrome who I love to pieces Nathan if you see this I miss you sm) and we became friends, and our parents did too. Sometimes, in 2nd grade I think, I would go over to their house (when it was one of their birthdays or just to visit) and eventually I got to know my friend's brother and his personality and realized how stupid I had been. Since then I've switched schools and am no longer friends with his brother, but from when I was in 2nd or first grade until now I've felt terrible for being scared of him. He's an amazing person. He's funny, kind, loyal, selfless and an amazing dancer. If you're reading this, know that I still think of you Luca. ❤
