Living with Down Syndrome and Pituitary Dwarfism (Also Legally Blind)

Miguel is diagnosed with Down syndrome, pituitary dwarfism, and is also legally blind. His family did not know what to expect when adopting Miguel, but committed to providing him anything he would ever need. Now an adult, Miguel has exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic professionals.

This channel has made me a better person. I hope KZbin will stop silencing people who wants to comment and leave aword of love and/or support!

[@ThaMobstarr]

I can definitely say the same!! This channel made me a better person. I learned to be open to more kinds of people and Chris also showed me in general how to communicate more lovingly and in a supportive way.

If you need a YT channel to become a better person you're doing life wrong

Using a channel for inspiration and an example of how to show empathy isn’t abnormal whatsoever. Various facets to help be better out there.

Miguel has a great smile! i watch these families and their special kids and think how wonderful they are- they don't judge others, they accept each other as they are and really seem to enjoy life- more so than families that are considered "normal" or average. Their love for one another is so genuine- the parents see their special kids as sunlight that brightens their days and wouldn't trade them for the world. I wish all families were like that. I love watching these videos because they are so enlightening
