This makes me so happy to watch. I have high functioning autism with adhd and severe anxiety. The moment I saw Clayton get into that smart car, I just felt like the world is possible if you reach for it. I've been depressed and sitting in my parents house for so long. Now I want to be successful!!!:)

21:31 too. Power lifting does that! It’s really impressive considering his syndrome naturally gives him low muscle tone.
People who dislike a video like this have to be the most soulless and hateful human beings. This man is pushing his abilities and overcoming so much and beating the stigma of this syndrome.
Wow Clayton has it together a lot more than most 21 yr olds. Love his confidence and determination.
Wow wonderful video! Just realized it was from 2012. You should do a update video on him & his family!
He has done more in one day than I have done in my whole 25 yrs of life. I feel ashamed.
What a beautiful couple! And how lovely for him to go after his passion!

This guy's an absolute stud. Does multiple sports, loves to cook, has a stable job, loving gf, can drive multiple types of vehicles, and really puts the effort in on being independent. From someone with no disability, I look up to someone like Clayton. He's a real example of someone who was dealt a difficult card in life and just decided to rip it up and make his own. Seriously, well done Clayton.

I love good stories like this, we are too consumed with tragedy and sorrow. God bless this kid and all the great people around him.
You guys really should think of doing an update. This is a really cool kid and his parents seem really nice.
Wow that kid is awesome. Great parenting and family structure.
What an absolute badass of a dude. Down to earth, incredible work ethic, supportive family, sweet girlfriend he can show his honest emotions to, _olympic level_ power lifting skills... he’s gonna go far. Kudos to him, and to his fam for helping develop these values in him. I’m sending lots of good vibes from the US.

These days most people with Down Syndrome do learn to read and write, though. There is some range in learning abilities, but the bigger difference seems to just be access to proper therapy and education from a young age. Getting a driver's license may be a particularly high goal that not everyone will be able to do, but reading and writing to a basic level and having some kind of job and having friends and romantic relationships and hobbies are pretty possible goals for most people with Down Syndrome if they get enough and good enough assistance.

The people I've met on the 'lower functioning' end of DS still generally had happy lives and friends though. That part isn't related to intellectual ability.
Can we get an update on Clayton and his family? Loved this!

This video is great! Clayton and his girlfriend are so cute together and he's just a cool dude. He is a better sporter than i am and a better driver than i am as well. Funniest part of the video to me was his mother talking, English is not my native language but trying to understand the New Zealand accent is hard! It's like she is using completely different vowels to other English accents, woah. Great video and i wish them all well. Go Clayton!
Young, strong, and good looking fellow. What a great story!
just goes to show anyone can thrive if they are raised correctly

Yes, and no. Children born with down syndrome are as diverse as children born with autism, or children born with no 'defects' whatsoever. Nobody is the same and Clayton is obviously high on the scale of things he can do where others born with Down syndrome are struggling more with speaking or movements. I'm very glad that Clayton his parents looked after him in such a good way and made sure he had all the right opportunities in life, he seems to do great!
just got this in my recommended..Its pretty good
He’s adorable, great parents respect
I loved how he said “mums potatoes!” Lol. He’s so happy and sweet. Calling his girl hunny was so darn cute! I wish I could find a man as sweet as him lol. I lobe when parents don’t treat their children any different and let them live a normal life and work towards whatever goals they wish to ackompoish.

He definitely had great examples from his parents. I just had a precious down syndrome diagnosed daughter 2 weeks ago. She is so wise and beautiful. I ve never connected so quickly or so deeply to any of my other 4 daughters. I have great hope from watching this doco that she'll bejust as independent as Clayton, if not more so! I feel like she's the best friend I never had and a friend forever!❤❤❤
