Restaurant Owner Tim Harris: "I Have Down Syndrome. I Am Awesome."

[@ozzie1229]

my family went to Tim's restaurant a couple years ago, and I'm still sad because we accidentally went on Tim's off day so we didn't get to meet him. We still had a good time though, the food was really good lmao.

[@stephenjacques554]

Tim is changing the world, and always will. Hope to get one of Tim's awesome Hugs. Thanks Tim for making me a better Human Being. SJ

[@kelsey1406]

"We are a gift to the world, we are more alike than different" well said Tim well said.

[@SaraHouck461]

Yes! People with Down Syndrome are definitely not aliens out to take over the world just because they have creepy-looking eyes and a funny-sounding voice!!

[@chris44gy]

Sara Houck not more alike we are the same regardless race gender

[@SaraHouck461]

Indeed. Those acceptance messages were unfortunately a bit too subtle for me to fully understand when I was younger.

[@watchgoose]

sara houck you are RUDE

[@SaraHouck461]

***** I didn't mean to be rude. I apologize. I, however, unfortunately felt nervous around those individuals I was frequently exposed to as part of the numerous experiences I had to sustain growing up as a female Aspie with girly interests. I say that because the autism spectrum is pretty much a "boys' club" due to the gender ratio.

[@TAILSnWHISKERS]

I HAVE MADE IT MY NEXT GOAL TO GO TO TIM'S PLACE AND GET A HUG!!! I AM SAVING UP STARTING NOW!

[@tunabones]

My aunt and uncle live in albaquerque new mexico. Maybe next time I visit over there I can visit Tims place :D

[@flyingtanks9313]

+MysteryBoxAddict lol wut u have to save money to buy food XD

[@ScrewNickk]

How was your trip?

[@marybee964]

K&Z Me too!! And the worst thing is that I'm separated from Tim's Place by an ocean, I'm from Portugal

[@marybee964]

K&Z I just heard that the place is closed 😱😱😓

[@MikeBolduc-l4r]

Wow!!! My son is 4 years and down syndrome. Today i believe that everything is possible.

[@swiitdoll]

Mike Bolduc how is he faring today?

[@gford649]

If you believe in your son then he'll believe in himself

[@T2Z]

This man seems like a super nice and very interesting guy! I'm sure his family and the community in which they reside are all very proud of his success. Thanks for sharing.

[@Titch-LunaWolf85]

Tim is absolutely amazing!! He is so brave and wonderful.. He in my eyes is a hero... Believe in yourself and look at what you can achieve..

[@paulpagani182]

God bless u Tim. I would love to get a hug from u buddy.

[@captaint2111]

my friend and we're on our way to cali from Wisconsin and drove just to see time and meet him, he hugged us both and sat down and talked with us as we enjoyed an outstanding breakfast served with a smile it was great

[@Timmyskills]

Tha khku for comeing - HUGS- Tim

[@suzanneleaptrot8746]

That is so heartwarming, I want to cry.

[@L8DKDNA1]

These kids have sooo much love to give I cant understand how certain people will treat these individuals bad or make fun of their disability. My bother has down syndrome as well and he is the most loving person I know. This video just made me cry.

[@johnappleseed5583]

L8DKDNA1 - does your brother take credit for things other people do and act like they can achieve any dream they have because everything is make-believe in their world and he only cares about being famous? Like that Shawn kid who lies through his braces whenever he opens his mouth. It's just annoying enough him mom make everyone else pay for the mistake that she popped out, but to pretend her disabled son (who can't even read or write) runs a t-shirt company is just insulting. If your kid runs such a successful business then why does he still live in public housing and draw disability benefits and demand 24/7 state paid nannies. If that's what is needed to keep your disabled kid alive, that's fine. But don't take all the public funds and then pretend like he's a huge success and has really become so independent. It's all 100% BS. And the S doesn't stand for Syndrome.

[@Thishandleisavailabl.e]

John Appleseed there’s no need to be a dickhead let’s just hope you don’t have any kids born with with disabilities you might live to regret talking about people like that.

[@eriannamiecce2030]

Aww. God bless him. Had me bawlin' at the end.

[@loviann03]

"i am awsome" - tim Yes you are 🤗♥️

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

[@wandafeliciano3899]

[@jedjones5406]

You are awesome. You are lovely and very cool

[@laneblount9888]

I will go to this restaurant and hug Tim one day. I love to see this. I am very involved with the special needs program at my high school. It has totally changed my perspective on things. They are truly awesome people and always have a smile on their face

[@genose5767]

He is just awesome

[@saschajane9781]

They are really a gift, I have a sister with Down syndrome and she just makes everyone she meets melt exactly like him!

[@G43X]

[@anjanafandkar550]

I want to visit Tim's Place only to get a special dish called HUG

[@ritajames2941]

Very inspiring..Love and huge respect for Tim Harris.God bless you abundantly 😊 if I'll get a chance will surely visit your place once.

[@KickedMangoStudios]

What an absolute champion! Greetings from Australia, Tim! Hope to make it to your place one day!

[@chris44gy]

KickedMangoStudios and from England Canada just moved from england ! :D

[@phyllismontoroula6454]

I hope you do well what ever you do I'm proud of you

[@bettybye7636]

Tim, you are an amazing young man

[@courtnocase]

Sadly his restaurant is closed. But man I love this guy. I hope he rebrands ! And bring Tim’s place back!

[@dayanadalloul8803]

If I could choose a place to be at right now, i'd choose Tim's Place just so that I could give him a big hug and tell him what an incredible inspiration he already is to me, even though all I know about him and his family are the things I've read and seen on the internet. My little brother (he's 16) has down's syndrome, we're brazilian and he wants to be a photographer. Our family has supported him in every possible way and I'm sure he'll chase his dreams and make them happen. It's so good to get to know stories like Tim's because it brings nothing but happiness to my heart. He is awesome! And also, he reminded me of my brother so much cause Momo is always friendly to every single person he meets and his hugs are the best thing in the whole world. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story smile tv! And lots of love to Tim!!!!

[@lydiarusin]

Amazing!

[@miltonmitchell4290]

He is awesome

[@Lafayette92]

Great job Tim! This is amazing! You are a beautiful and amazing person and have such aspirations!

[@lesbosmoon]

Tim's story just shows you that a person with downs can achieve almost anything as long as you believe in them . They will achieve as much as you expect from them.

[@MikeBolduc-l4r]

[@Broadwaybutterfly21]

It is my dream to go there on my birthday and get a birthday hug from him

[@jeannieves6275]

Fantastic 👍🏽⭐️

[@goyabee3200]

I think this is a great example of how important nurture is in the formation of a person's personality and ambitions. For example, think of all the gifted people who never go anywhere in life despite being functionally above average.

[@TommyPasserella]

Incredible story would make a great big screen movie

[@-AnonymousUser]

Very nice

[@2phonesjones899]

This is what happens when you treat a person with hero abilities rather than disabilities!! You’re only as strong as you believe you are , everyone needs to be uplifted and supported in life in order to succeed. Loneliness is lethal. We all must find a healthy friend group and put good out in the world with the hope of it coming back around our way one day! Not matter how unfair life may seem, just know you’re doing the right thing in life and can hold your head high during the day and sleep well at night knowing you’re living life with a positive attitude. Always be grateful , people are truly suffering in this world, be grateful it’s not you born into the life of poverty and famine. Find ways to help those around you, when you die , be known for always having had your peoples true interests at heart & giving them your all. Bless

[@FamousGamer-dq1nt]

I am crying

[@ishanisha6883]
