I remember a few years ago, I was walking through a department store and was generally feeling depressed at that time and this guy with down syndrome was walking toward me with his family and as he passed he said "hi five!" and gave me a big high five. It was a small thing but I remember it made me feel a lot better for the rest of the day, and I'm almost positive a "normal" person would never have done that.

[@tylerbeach4727]

I had a similar experience years ago, I was having an off day and a gentleman with Down syndrome approached me and told me I had the coolest tattoos he’s ever seen. It was such a pleasant interaction and truly made my day. It was almost like he knew I needed a good interaction. I’ll never forget it.

Shout out to Alex here. As a sibling to a person with a disability who I love to the moon and back, I LOVE that she loves to be known as "Drew's sister". It's often not easy, particularly as a kid when kids at school are dumb and priveliged and don't want to look past first impressions, so I can almost guarantee Alex had it rough at some parts as the "sister". I know I did. But her love and joy radiates out of every damn inch of her, and so I would take one of her against any other 20 friends from school, because she knows what's up People like her are amazing, and as lucky as she is to have an amazing brother like Drew, she should never ever forget that Drew also loves that he has an amazing sister like Alex. Alex may be "Drew's sister", but I'm sure Drew loves that he gets to be known as "Alex's brother."

Their sweet sibling bond reminds me of my daughter with a complete gene and partial chromosome deletion and her younger typical, extremely bright, athletic sister. My overachiever daughter is always including her sister in everything and motivating her to grow in her development. My older daughter reminds her younger sister to slow down and be happy. They compliment each other. It almost feels like raising twins because they are 17 months apart and the same size. Drew, thank you for sharing your story, it is encouraging.

[@salvadorrodenas3071]

My little (youngest) brother and me take care of our disabled middle brother for the rest of our life. Our old parents passed away half a year and two months ago, very recently, sadly to say but . They were always concerned with my Jose Maria when they weren't any longer alive to look after him but we carry on with pleasure and love in that mission. We wouldn't change our special brother for any other or for one hundred million euros. This family is a good example, they don't lock in a clinic to his son, washing their hands, I was moved by the compromise her sister showed to care for life to her beloved brother. God will reward them, especially her, in heaven. They will meet again there and I'm sure, that that person will speak for himself as a regular guy giving back all the love he have received. God bless that family, all of them.

That and Daniels channel Who I met here as a friend His comment section is also full of love.. Thank you all for being so kind!

[@greego5952]

This is really awesome. Even though Drew is non-verbal, he can still communicate with him by accommodating a way to let him speak and answer you in his own way. Really, it just to show that talking is just one of the many ways humans can communicate.

[@MrJdsenior]

Absolutely, a LOT of the communication that goes on when two people are in conversation has nothing to do with the verbal. That is one reason that written text can be misconstrued more easily. If the person talking to you is happy or angry or whatever, there is usually no mistaking it, in person. I've always thought that there should be a symbol for denoting sarcasm, where appropriate, in text. That one is sometimes so easily missed .

[@excitedaboutlearning1639]

@@MrJdsenior That's right! I agree! Not being able to read the commentator's body language and tone of voice are, in my view, the biggest reasons for using emojis. Some people like to say that being surrounded by emojis makes young people worse off than their parents, but I think so. I used to think so, because I believed in the claims, but the more I learned about body language, the more I started seeing the usefulness of emojis.
