The Exceptional Child

This is a video of my son Thomas Alexander and other children with Down syndrome. I am a single parent and it is my wish to show pregnant women how wonderful these children are and how happy the parents are to have such a child. Those of us with Down syndrome children recognize how blessed we have been to have these surprises wrapped up in disguise!

I hope you will enjoy the video and hopefully it will save a few lives, even one life can make a difference.

The video features original art work of children with down syndrome that coincide with a few days of the creation found in Genesis of the Bible. Even if you are not a Christian you will appreciate the beauty of these children.

i am a special educator and i may say that this girl in the video is one of the luckiest person in the face of the earth. well, im not denying that she has a down syndrome. its just that these people are actually far from doing sins and things that may ruin the lives of other people. nothing in this world is perfect and what important is that we know where our imperfection lies... God bless to her parents.. i salute you for fulfilling the potential of your special child...

Down Syndrom children are really cute and all, but who remains finding these people cute when they are 30? 40? When you'll be 65, retired and he'll still be there, depending on you... When you'll realize you'll never be a grandma nor feel free with you own life, will you still find him so cute? I'm not trying to look dow on these people right now, but don't blind yourself in denial. Accept that he's different and that you'll have to cope with his difference you whole life, costing your freedom.

What a selfish response. Many Down syndrome people live independently and yes, some do need constant guidance. I have no problem with the fact that I may have to be there for my child when he and I are older. In addition some Down syndrome individuals have children, jobs and drive cars. "Accept that he is different" what do you know of me? Did you not get the message of the video? Are you even more ignorant than I first thought you were? Selfish, ignorant person, get a life.

I don't understand what Christianity's involvement in this video has to do with trisomy 21. Don't do that. You're just making the conservative party look even more like shit by showing pictures of ruined lives and describing it as being blessed.

So you're 19. You have quite a bit to learn.

My life has not been ruined as you can see from the video and I have yet to meet another parent of a special needs child that feels their life is anything other than better than it was before. By the way I also know a few Jewish folks who feel the same way! Get a life and quit trying to find something wrong with other folks lives.

@Souri7Sarah Will you be cute or lovable at 30? 40? Who knows if you will fall prey to drugs or alcohol or even depression & need to lean on someone, maybe even your parents. I'm not trying to look down on you, but don't blind yourself to denial. No one on this earth has a guarantee of a perfect life. Accept that your own life can turn around in an instant, and could cost you your freedom. What if your own child is somehow affected by any number of disabilities, will you treat them as trash?

[juliebork]

@15Mikedelta then you don't understand Christianity at all. Seems like you are the one with a disability. Hate can consume and disable a person to the point they have a tainted view of life. My prayers are with you my friend.

BTW, Margot and her family are the perfect portrait of conservative values. Thank you Margot for this beautiful contribution to this world.

First, don't tell me to get a life. I go to school, hold a job, pay car insurance, and take care of my girlfriend. Second, I don't go and run around trying to find faults with strangers in every corner of YouTube. The problem I have with your video is that you should never glamorize or guild anything with religion. ESPECIALLY a mental handicap.

It is so very sad that so many people have this negative attitude towards Down's or any other disability. My life has been touched by so many kids with DS and I am afraid of the person I might be if I had not met them. They are wonderful people with so much happiness and they will always put a smile on your face. God created them for the same reason he created all of you. They are nothing short of a blessing and a miracle and I praise their wonderful parents for choosing to raise these children.
