Keeping up with Chris: Excelling with Down Syndrome

When Chris Bunton was born with Down Syndrome his parents wondered if he’d ever achieve the independence they dreamed of… but he has exceeded all their expectations. At just 22 years old, Chris combines part-time work with university study as well as a demanding gymnastics training programme.
Chris invites us into his busy life in Sydney, while his parents share insights they have gained from raising an independent son.

I cannot thank you enough for this documentary. I have a 2 year old son with down syndrome and I have always been so afraid for his future. Will he have friends? Will he go to university? Will he be able to handle money? Will he drive a car? Wll he have a job? Will he be independent? Chris has answered all those questions with a resounding YES! Thank you for showing what people with down syndrome can achieve!

[@janeadelaidelennox7193]

Bethany Jones Rose they’re only as cognitively limited as people allow them to be. I firmly believe this.

[@peaceandlove544]

@@janeadelaidelennox7193 there several stories online about DS kids graduating from college around the world. There is a misconception that because they speak funny (now there is a tongye surgery to help them with that) and have some learning difficulties and tend to be over weight and not to have much coordination (if they are not properly feed and taught how to exercise) they can not have wonderfull lives (friends, family, education, job, independence, hobbies, healthy life style, values, self discipline, self worth, etc). They can, now we fully know.

[@granttrent5564]

@@peaceandlove544 - their "college graduation" isn't what a normal college degree is obviously. DS people have very low IQ, so as the woman said, college for DS is not about academics, but more about increasing possible independence and possibly being more able to speak up for themselves. They definitely won't have any friends. As you could see, even chris has no actual friends. The ONE normal friend they pretended Chris had was a very kind man who knew Chris from the age of 5. But it was very clear that they couldn't have any normal conversation. It's more about the normal boy being very kind and spending time with a disabled boy. But they literally had NOTHING real to talk about. Because everything that is a challenge for Chris and is a major part of his life is super easy for the normal boy.

He's more civil, well-mannered than most "able" people.

[@mrreisskeks3441]

Honestly, that is one thing I have noticed while being around disabled people of all kinds. Because of my mother, we would often have contact to a local support group for people with a certain walking disability (it is called multiple sclerose and does not only affect walking but can manifest in a variety of ways) and everyone there was nicer than I would have imagined. And after also meeting people with cognitive and speaking disabilities, paired with my own experience with my listening disability I think it is safe to say that disabled people are nicer because they know how shitty life is and try to be the most pleasant person they can be to make it better for everyone. At least that is my opinion based on personal experience.

[@peetiegonzalez1845]

Because he's very lucky to be so functional. I love this guy and his positivity. He is amazing. But as a person with DS he is extremely lucky to be so cognitively functional that he can live a mostly normal life. Most people with the same condition are unfortunately unable to survive without help. They need our help and we should unreservedly give it. Don't pretend that this person's success is representative of everyone with the same unfortunate condition. Help them! Help us all.

[@Dirkietje8]

He picked up those beans like no-one would ever do. Normal people use a bag like that if they have to pick up poop, but Chris doesn't want other people's stuff to get 'dirty'. That is so considered.

I think Chris’ parents and mentors etc. should give Chris a bit more trust, he actually seems to think things through better than those around him.
