    Oh this was a beautiful documentary, thanks Ben for sharing your special moments with us. Such a hardworking young man, no complaining about anything. He really puts me to shame, he works, does all the housework, cooks and sports. Best documentary I have seen in a very long time.

    He’s friggin’ adorable! “I’m independent, good looking, handsome, single & loving life”! He’s the type of individual, that when you see him happy, your happy. 😊

    as a figure skater, those edges and his footwork skills are really great and that all is so much harder than he makes it look!

    What a beautiful story. What a beautiful and handsome young men, with many goals in his life. Hé is living them. A lot better than many if not most of us. He was very good with his skating. I would have given him the Gold. Keep on beeing who you are. You are a real inspiration.

    People have apparently everything and do nothing, and he is doing the most with what he's got. It puts things in perspective.

      For most people in this category (have everything and fail to do anything) this is really just an appearance.
      Most people who struggle in life like that, have a reason. Perhaps they didn't have a supporting family, they were neglected or abused and the trauma gets in the way of their ability to build a life they enjoy.
      What we experience in relationships during childhood is important, it is most important.
      Feeling safe and supported gets you further than being great at algebra.
      In the 1950s people with down Syndrome had a life expectancy of 10 years.

    Special Olympics is a fabulous program. I am a basketball official and I volunteered to ref the state basketball tournament for Special Olympics last year. It was the most fun I have had on the court in 100s of games. The athletes worked very hard and took the games very seriously.

    What a amazing person Ben hes done fantastic I'd be so proud if was my boy.
    As for the coach I'm not sure ste has right attitude if you swore at my boy I'd go mental with you.
    Your not a good coach !!!!! So hes needs a better coach for him.
    My daughter is an iceskater also and believe her coaches would not talk to her like that.

    This is such a wonderful documentary very inspirational got me smiling and tearing up a bit.
    Also, I get the father is trying to teach his kid responsibility but I don't think it's right for this kid to be picking up after other people... seems like they are taking advantage of him. Also kids with down syndrome cannot enter school talk about injustice! so very wrong and unfair. I hope since then that "law" has changed.

    Knowing people with this syndrome and watching many diff documentary shows about it I would say the name should be changed to Upbeat Syndrome. They are usually very happy and outgoing. Also, a bit of trivia. You may notice many of them have cold sores and wear a lot of chapstick. That is because people with this condition are more prone to having angular cheilitis which are sores in the corners of their mouths. Similar to cold sores or the herpes simplex virus.
