Lovely Lily is sociable, her vocabulary is excellent, she has a positive body language and self- image, her speech and ideas clear. She's got a sense of humor, and soup to nuts... Miss Harper's extremely high functioning. Anybody who still holds the antiquated opinion that Down's people somehow are 'less than the rest of us'..really needs to view this video. So does Ellen De G -- PLEASE BOOK LILY ON YOUR SHOW!!!

[@AttitudeLive]

Thank you for the lovely comment

[@catherinespark]

@Thora Friganza People often get mixed up with learning disability and intellectual disability. People with Asperger's have slower information processing. People with dyslexia have difficulty learning to read. Imagine the two together - that does not a child make. She may have learning disabilities but she's socially right there and has plenty of confidence, and that is key.

[@icturner23]

Yes, but conversely her mother made a good point. Not everyone with Down’s syndrome is upbeat. A bias in portrayals of disability is that higher-functioning, optimistic and charismatic people are far more likely to be selected or to self-select to appear. Therefore those who are depressed, struggling, shy &c. are underrepresented and there is thus undue expectation on disabled people to be jolly, outgoing and stoic.

[@brittanyduckworth4037]

I don't know if you see these comments Lily but I think you are seriously just like Ellen! you are funny,smart,a good dancer,you can act,you are kind,caring and loving. I love Ellen too! I hope one day you can meet her. Take care!

[@AttitudeLive]

Thank you for those kind words Brittany! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@nicoleworkman9858]

Lily just brings a smile to my face! She really needs her own show! I would def watch it reg!

[@misschris325]

She's a jack of all trades. I love her attitude and passion for life!

[@KJMudge]

Lily thinks she was a cute baby ? Wrong she was an absolutely adorable baby . Lily's personality and compassion is heart warming and anyone who has Lily touch their lives are truely blessed . Her bright friendly personality, her smile , her strive for independence and her ulimate goal to compete in the Para Olympics is an inspiration to us all .Lily is a beautiful, , intelligent and funny and exuberant young lady who I am sure is loved by many and I can see that she is quiet a talented performer just like her idol Ellen De Generis and maybe one day her dream will come true and Lily will be able to visit Ellen's show . I wish her all the best in her future hopes and dreams and hope that they all come true for her .

[@thak44]

I think Lily’s amazing and a really good dancer! I just had a daughter and she has Down syndrome and I knew she would be born with Down syndrome it was never an issue for me. I just love my daughter and I just hope she thinks it’s an amazing part of who she is like Lily said DS is not a problem that needs to be fixed it’s an integral part of who some people are and it’s great 👍

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

[@MichaelELambert]

People with Down Syndrome are the most beautiful people in the world! I look passed their disability and see promise, determination, perseverance, compassion, all of the positivity that could ever be! I don't see their struggles because despite them whatever they may be, THEY too overlook them and continue to go on as if nothing happened! They are an inspiration to us all! They are God's special angels! They have been blessed with every God like characteristic you could imagine! So glad I stumbled on to Lily's channel! She is super adorable and awesome!

[@carlaaleman4214]

I am so impressed in how fun you are Lily’ and how much I enjoy watching your show. Keep it up girl, you got what it takes. Finally a show is worth to subscribe.

Lily, you are blowing me away. You are a brighter spark, more eloquent, creative, energetic and confident than scores of people with a regular set of chromosomes! You are also a born leader, sportswoman and performer and with it so loving and empathetic! You must be the pride and joy of your family and so many other people! Kudos to your adoring adoptive parents for allowing all your talents to blossom. Kudos to you for all your determination and passion and that exuberant cheeky smile and humour! Your biological parents don't know what a great person they missed!

[@eatymceatison97]

It saddens me to see how Lily seems to think she was willfully abandoned, like a lot of adopted people do. Who knows, maybe she was, but maybe her mom just really didn't have the resources, mentally or financially, or perhaps both. It's so sad to see people take personally what adults couldn't do for them. I hope she also realizes her adoptive parents chose her out of love for her, that she was very much deserving of.
