  • what I learn from ppl with William Syndrome is that..you don't have to be smart or intelligent for ppl to like and love you. Sometimes, its more important to be loving and compasionate than to be smart

  • I highly doubt that Ben. Intel generally does not hire engineers still in highschool, especially for chip design, which is generally PhD level stuff, and most of the engineers Intel does hire do not have enough free time to reach level 44 in Ruinscape.

  • @Xijuan Did you just.... Quote wikipedia as a source?...

  • I have a friend in California, she has Williams Syndrome. We're across the country from each other, but she has changed my life, and I haven't even know her too long. She's a very nice and beautiful girl. Once she said on facebook, "I want a unicorn someday :)" It made my heart feel good. She's an amazing person. I've never met anybody like her! <3 :)

  • my sister has williams syndrome. she's my fuckin hero

  • @Xijuan Being mentally retarded doesn't mean you're not smart. There is no definition of smart, per se. People can be "smart" in all different kinds of ways: linguistically, logical-mathematically, spatially, bodyily-kinestethically, musically, interpersonally, intrapersonally, naturalistally. So, just because someone isn't smart in the liguistic way, doesn't mean they're not smart. Many geniuses have autism (another mental disability).

  • @ShanimalsCrackers well...The thing is that Williams Syndrome is linked to mental retardation. From wilipedia: "The most common symptoms of Williams syndrome are mental disability, heart defects, and unusual facial features."

  • @Xijuan Just because you have Williams Syndrome doesn't mean you're not smart...

  • Williams Syndrome is a very interesting Disorder and It is a blessing and a curse. God bless them

  • It's amazing to me that missing genes could change someone this way. I'm sure there will come a day when humans are engineered before birth for specific roles and functions if they are not being engineered already.

  • love you lisa! you my girl

  • Does anyone know the song that she is singing in the beginning of the video?
