- Audrey Wagnon, Self-advocate on Down syndrome. Explains her view of Down syndrome and life lessons for all of us. Full clip from the heartwarming documentary Dakota's Pride dakotaspride.org/. She is part of The B.E.S.T. Troupe www.thebestnetwork.org. Diversity. What is it like having Down syndrome?
So beautiful! My daughter who is now 5 months old was born with Down Syndrome and she is just divine. Your daughter has made me so much more excited about watching my daughter grow and develop as a person. Your daughter is just great ....I just want to cuddle her.....pure love...x
I hate people that think because someone has a disability
it makes them stupid,but this just shows not all are less intelligent
because she's very smart.
Simplicity is often the most beautiful quality... this video made me cry with joy. I only wish to be as wonderful.
Rene Moreno turned on a light for me and a lot of people towards Down syndrome. It's not down, it's up. To this woman all I have to say is I am cheering for you, and you deserve equality.
Truly inspirational. The world needs more Audreys in it. Thank you for this video, and thank you to your Mom who raised an awesome woman
Your name is HOPE. Thanks for keeping the faith and make it shine.
I have heard this speech countless times by her. Audrey is one of my best friends

Just and FYI -- I just uploaded one more self advocate. Lee Jones went on to college and drives a car. He also wrote this speech himself.

She's incredibly cute, I am not saying this just for she has this syndrome, she really is wonderful.

My favorite are the choc covered cherries too..ummhumm, gurl they are good.
Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't!! Hilarious!!
Could do with subtitles
my kiddo has dr. downs syndrome. I LOVE YOU !!!! keep it up kid
You also!!
My daughter has made some video, if you search Miss Beth Lang you will find them.
Many times, when I'd see a kid with DS, I'd think that I'd like to be able to take them in my arms and make it all go away.
Then I thought some about what I was thinking and changed my opinion.
What I rrealized was, by doing that, I would take away all the kids who their parents, family and friends love them~~just they way they are.
I've never had kid butt, I have found out about myself that, if I was "Dad" to a kid with DS, I'd be just fine with that.
They're super human beings.
do asian langauges like chinese japanese easier for down syndrome people to speak in? i'm wondering because she seems to pronounce the english language similarly to how those asian people pronounce it who aren't very fluent.
Romance and passion and I didn't catch the next word?
@newhopecommunity1 thank you for your hard work,
i think if the world had more ppl with the harts of those who have down syndrome it would be allot better place:D
Every time I watch a video with a person living with DS, I cant help but feel like what the person living with the syndrome is saying, seems rehearsed. It seems to me, as if they are reciting something they were coached to recite. Even when they don't seem to be reciting a speech, it's as if what they say naturally, is from a hat of catch-phrases. This always confused me. I was good friends with a boy living with down's syndrome in my high-school years. He never seemed to be pulling his responses from a hat. He never seemed rehearsed. He had his UPs and he had his DOWNs. Why is this girl saying "Every day is the best day I've ever lived. Every meal is the best meal I've ever eaten!" That doesn't seem natural to me. It's as if she's been coached to say that she has a wonderful life, just so that people will think her life is worth something. In my opinion, every single human being's life is worth something. No1's life is more important than anyone else's life. Including this bright young girls.... Don't coach your daughter to say that every day is the best day of her life?! Allow her to make/create/formulate her OWN opinions about each and every day of her life, and each and every MEAL. The HELL? Idk. If I had a son/daughter living with DS... I would treat them like ANY ONE ELSE. They wouldn't be a poster-child for DS. They wouldn't be a billboard for living with DS. They'd be treated like anyone else! If they felt depressed, they'd get some therapy! Idk. I don't mean to be a weird person, knit-picking on the reering of this young woman... I'm sure her mother gave her, her 110%! But, I hate to see those living w/ this "syndrome" reciting what seems to be a completely fake SPEECH.
Shes Rigghht Thherre Is Beautyy Inn Ourr Differeencess
PARTY DOWNNNNN YeSSSSS
My daughter also has Down syndrome. And it's not a problem!
