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. 😊
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.
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.
good to see u doing everything independenty...i also have a downs syndrome boy he is 18 years old i am having very less things in india for his development god bless you dear ..lots of love 😘😘
Respect to his coaches and especially the young coach who stepped up and came with him to the Olympics. She seemed like a very good coach and beautiful person.
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.
I need some cleaning lesson from this guy, I like to call it organized chaos but I really just kinda hate regular old chores, like dusting and vacuuming and laundry especially!
Wow beautiful to watch . Love his sense of humor , attitude and work ethic . Hope he finds true love but then again I imagine it would be hard to juggle a job and a relationship without sacrificing his art .
Thank you so much for posting this great video! He's such an inspiration to all kinds of people and makes me want to work harder! Keep working hard on the ice skating Ben!
BEN...YOU ARE A YOUNG MAN I WOULD BE PROUD TO KNOW...WHAT A AMAZING LIFE YOU HAVE.....LOVE FROM CANADA....BY THE WAY BEN YOU WERE SO HANDSOME IN YOUR RAINBOW ATIRE !!!! XOXOXO
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.
Wow I need his ambition! He would great to follow! They need to create an international version of the reality show Born this Way! He is very inspiring! He's perfect just the way he is...he has a lot to teach us so called "Normal People"
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.

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 wonderful documentary! Lovely intelligent young gentleman. How proud his family must be ♡
My 7 year old daughter just adores Ben. He’s so hardworking and nice.
What a brilliant young man . I think that his family has enabled him to blossom and become the wonderful character he is.An inspiring story.
Oh wow Ben!!! You did such a amazingly good job at your olympics. I hope you still skate these days and hope that you have lots of fun doing it.
I could watch Ben all day! He's such a lovable, sweet young man.
He's more confident than most people.
His life is so put together and organized!!!
Can’t relate

What a handsome young man!!
You are amazing, well done!!

Ben, you're the man! better than a lot of young able men lazy and whining about life!!
Be proud Ben! That was a fantastic routine and you did it well.

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

A remarkable young man, he could teach us all a lot!
Awesome, Ben! You are an inspiration, and yes I agree with you: You are a very, VERY good skater!!! Keep up the good work :)
IQ less than 75?! Well he sure has his shit together! Way to go, mate
Ben is just too cute I would love an update on him now I hope he’s found happiness x
Amazing what people can do when they set their mind to it. I’m very happy he was able to compete and show off all the hard work he put into it!
good to see u doing everything independenty...i also have a downs syndrome boy he is 18 years old i am having very less things in india for his development god bless you dear ..lots of love 😘😘
Respect to his coaches and especially the young coach who stepped up and came with him to the Olympics. She seemed like a very good coach and beautiful person.

so proud of you Ben...i am in awe watching you...you're a SUPERSTAR .
They are ALL WINNERS.
I need some cleaning lesson from this guy, I like to call it organized chaos but I really just kinda hate regular old chores, like dusting and vacuuming and laundry especially!
Very impressive, good on him. He'll get his gold medal next time for sure
What a sweet soul!
Beautiful, and inspiring ! You go, Ben !
Ben is such an inspiration.
he's goofy intelligent great sense of humour very down to earth.i like him
Wow...Ben...you're amazing! Thanks for sharing. Im jealous of your skating skills! Xxxooo
Wow beautiful to watch . Love his sense of humor , attitude and work ethic . Hope he finds true love but then again I imagine it would be hard to juggle a job and a relationship without sacrificing his art .
What an amazing person 🙂
What a cool and talented guy! Couldn't help but smile during the entire documentary ❤
Wow ♥️ this is a beautiful story. Go Ben 👏
What a wonderful young man, if I were about 50 years younger......................
Thank you this made me genuinely smile.
What a great documentary! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for posting this great video! He's such an inspiration to all kinds of people and makes me want to work harder! Keep working hard on the ice skating Ben!
I don't understand how he didn't get a practice session in at the rink before the competition. All athletes get that opportunity normally!
If most people had just half the energy and good attitude this young man has, imagine how productive society would be.
This guy is awesome, and he would totally beat me!
God bless you. Amen
So sweet
He looks handsome 👍 And damn his facing everyday challenges better than I do 👏
What a sweetheart! He'll find someone when he has more time to socialise. He is just to adorable not too. And he can cook! What girl can pass that up?
BEN...YOU ARE A YOUNG MAN I WOULD BE PROUD TO KNOW...WHAT A AMAZING LIFE YOU HAVE.....LOVE FROM CANADA....BY THE WAY BEN YOU WERE SO HANDSOME IN YOUR RAINBOW ATIRE !!!! XOXOXO
