A PAIR of twins are some of the rarest in the world due to one having Down’s Syndrome and one not. Julia and Michael Toronzcak, share everything in life except a single chromosome, which meant Michael was born with severe Down syndrome. There are currently no statistics on the chances of one twin being born with Down syndrome, making the 22-year-olds from San Diego, California one of the rarest twins in the world.

She is by far the most caring and loving sister there is
Yah
Yeah
Yeah😍😭
Alexxx better than my bro 😂 but seriously she is such a loving sister
Yeah, I'm jealous. My sister is nothing like that; may as well be an only child.
All the people saying she 'babies' him too much... I do get the concern, but she's had 22 years of learning what works best and what he's happiest and most comfortable with. He's quite profoundly disabled, it's quite possible he just wouldn't be able to respond to anything else.
Gary Wayne you r so mean he is in a child’s state of mind
Plus he has the mind of a child
I've known many down syndrome people as I was growing up, each one is different, some can't do or handle much of anything like in this video and others can talk, work, be in relationships, etc it depends on the individual
True... "true"
At least they have each other right
His sister is so mature, tolerant and kind. I wish more people were like her. 💙
Yesssssssss me too
Cari G right
We can be this kinds of people ourselves first
sim ray I am always saying this because people often spend a lot of time praying for peace and love yet arent acting like that which actions are way more reliable and realistic than any "kneeling on the floor". 🤷🏻♀️
Me too
My twin brother has Down syndrome also. I love him to death ❤️ We just turned 11.
Wow I just checked your channel. Also leap year babies. You guys are so unique. God bless
Shandii Patricia awwwww! Thank you so much 😊❤️
Ur amazing
Mandi Gardner 😊❤️ thanks
Kirsten L oh, wow I hope you are both feeling good now. ❤️
They seem to be the closest twins I have ever seen.
I
Nah, I saw a set of Siamese twins that were way closer than that.
idk idk, satisfying to be the 1000th liker
Because it’s on camera
Aww, this is so sweet! Michaels sister is so kind! She is such a helper!
A kid almost drowned at 5:37
😇😇😇😍😘😘😢😢😢😭😭😭
🕺this is Michael he he needs love every 1 = more happiness for him
Ke'juannah Taylor e
That’s not how life works, your amount of likes isn’t going to benefit him.
he fell not drown
Julia is so humble. And on top of that, she’s really pretty!
OfficiallyDanielCovey haha
Why "on top of that"? Is it also a quality?
The kid in the sea at 5:35😂
Lmao
Omg plez 😂
LOL. Thank you, I wouldn't have noticed that XD
Lmao!! That's awesome
Pose...pose.... oops...mommy...
If the sister wasn't so helpful and loving, I feel the mother would be overwhelmed. God bless you guys. Awesome sister.
Totally agree,being a caregiver is a lot of work and most of the time takes 2 people so the other can take care f themselfs as well.
Great job mom, you raised your daughter well with great morals and values!
Funny enough, I'm the same age helping take care of my autistic brother, and it's extremely difficult. But hopefully, God continues to give me and my family a way everyday to do it.
Mike You’re a wonderful brother, I pray God will continue to sustain you and your family
@@ellaelle4538 Thank you for the kind words :)
I think it's very sweet to see how much the sister loves his brother. Its like they are best friends. True twins-even if they are different. :)
Mike I look after my autistic brother and it is so hard I respect you so much. Keep it up 👏👏
Mike I help take care of my 12 year old austistic brother. Im11. He has a whole fan club and visits my class in school everyday, its so embrassing but he's worth it. I respect you alot, its hard I know that.
This is real bond of brother and sister
who else saw that little kid fall in the water at 5:35
XD
Me
😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭
XD
His sister is the type of person that will sacrifice everything for their family.Which melt my heart 💓 God Bless Her Soul 🙏🏻
She literally acts like a mom for him.
lyndsey m u mean she acts like a girlfriend. Kinda suspect to me. Seems like she feels a lil deeper 🤔
lyndsey m it’s heart warming to see families care about each other so much, rare in this world ❤️
shawneen pady you’re disgusting
This is what ignorance does, comment without knowing. Am the older of three and my bother also has down síndrome with TEA and since you love him so much you try to take good care of him. So please when you say this types of sentences, dig a little bit more with the info.
I don’t understand why his mom doesn’t help him get ready...?
My twin brother has special needs and is in a wheelchair and can’t talk but I can’t imagine life without him 💕
Oh I wish you two the very best, it can be hard, you two deserve all the blessings in the world ❤❤❤
Salihah Hussain Thank you ❤️❤️
God bless him
aww god bless you both. Life wouldn’t be the same for any of us without our family 💞
Do you want a TV special for yourself too???
I didnt know that it was possible to have twins with one being affected by a disorder while the other doesnt. Very interesting to see
Edit: i understand the difference between fraternal twins and identical twins. It really just never occurred to me to think about this. Similarly, as someone who does not live in the caribbean, i had no idea that people in the caribbean islands drove on the left side of the road. It makes sense though, as does the fact that fraternal twins can develop completely differently due to not being made of the same sperm. I just never really had to think about it before. But thank you to everyone who has liked and commented because im very well informed now uwu
Same
Nina M. My husband works with a guy that has twins one has Down syndrome and one doesn’t have it. The babies were born about 2 years ago.
Same here I'm a twin when I was born I was crippled but I got my feet fixed fixed my twin brother and I are fraternal
Nina M. Yeah, when its two different egg cells instead of one egg cell splitting into two, the twins are totally different. Theres been mixed twins where one is black and the other is white before
Me to
Are we just gonna ignore the kid at 5:38
AM I GORGEOUS omg lol lol😂😂
AM I GORGEOUS no I'm not gonna 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂💀
I was hoping someone else mentioned that lol I started laughing so hard & had to rewind it so I could listen to what she said..
LOL
This would be and has been me my sister can confirm and also loves to remind me of that moment
I love how whenever Michael walks he is just strutting his stuff. Like he is the ultimate example of confidence.😄
Julia and her mother are saint, the way they're always there for Michael shows how much they love him
Julia is such a kind loving person! Michael has such a close loving family if only more people were like them this would be a better world❣
I agree😀😀

LOL

Scoop should take the clip
Aw she’s so so sweet!!!!! Wishing her the best.
Im so in Love with his sister. She treats him so softly and gently. Instead of questioning Everything she just tries to understand. She is so kind and Beautiful ❤
This girl is a literal angel. The way she treats her brother is beautiful. She will make an amazing mother one day.
They are so blessed to have eachother.
Just wondering , how is she blessed? The guy is blessed to have her

What is Julia's future as far as her independence, dating, marriage, family? I hope she will not be afraid to "leave" her brother.
I hope that their parents were able to make arrangements for Michael to live in a place for adults, where he can be safe, happy, and independent later on, when his sister isn't in a position to be a full-time care-giver. It's clear from this video that there won't ever be a time when she will be able to look after him by herself in addition to doing anything else. Michael is very sweet and loving, but his care is a lot of work that doesn't necessarily have to be done only by immediate family.
I hope people leave them alone to make their own choices as a family. Don't decide what they need.
A twin bond is different than mot sibling relationships.
Mike Campbell 😂😂😂😂
You know I know a friend of mine. Her older sister suffered from kidney failure since the age of 9 yrs old. And now her sister is 33 and on a wheelchair and she lived with my friend and her husband and they take care of her very lovingly. No need to abandon your sibling I think. They can still live together if they think that is the best option and if that is too hard for her she can hire a caregiver
@@MM-dq2pi i have a twin brother and 4 other brother and trust the bond is no different in fact we truly dont like each other with passion. And i fell the exact same way about my 3 other brothers im more closer to my eldest brother tbh. I love then but we annoy each other to a breaking point.
Julia is such a sweet kind sister. Your love for your brother is pure your patience and understanding is deeply touching. All the best to your family and good luck.
Julia I just adore you... God bless you so much for all the love and support you give your twin brother!!!!!
Sophia Thompson 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sophia Thompson 👍👍👍
This is the most beautiful, inspiring brother-sister relationship. Its heart-warming.
What a sweet sister.
Omg shes so amazing! I love how patient and loving she is with him😭💕
Cumberpatch Fingerbottom you really had to do that? Really? ☹️
I I am a twin as well and I definitely agree 100% that the twin Bond is definitely miraculous! Definitely we can always speak and finish each other's sentences, even when we are a thousand miles away from each other we had felt what the other was feeling and thought what the other was thinking and this happened for 44 years and 4 years ago my twin died unexpectedly in her sleep, I was at a friend's house and we had just talked like two weeks before that and throughout our whole lives, that we wanted to go together when we died and if the other was to go first we definitely made a pact that we would find a way to let each other know we are in spirit world and the beauty of it and letting each other know we are around in the spirit and we always believe that we were Souls with spirits in a body, I definitely believe that we would still communicate if the other was to die first! Then two weeks after that conversation I was talking to her on the phone, and we both decided we were tired and going to take a nap and to call each other when we wake up! During that nap I dreamed that we were riding Dolphins holding onto hands and the most beautiful peaceful feeling with laughter that I've ever felt in my entire life! Then I was getting ready to call her as I was telling my friend about the dream, however then I received the phone call that said she died in her sleep during that nap!😢😢😢 I basically had to be taken to the hospital and sedated! But the past 4 years I've been battling terminal illnesses and fighting back hard! And I know that my twin is with me everyday and I talked to her and I feel her presence and she is definitely showed me beautiful visions and dreams that is in the spirit world and as well has made it clear that life is like a puzzle and each piece of that puzzle is our life and everything we go through, we will understand that better when we are in the spirit world and understand why certain things happened and why certain things didn't happen, and I believe in my heart and soul that there is a spirit world there is a heaven there is a God and his son Jesus and the gifts of the Holy Spirit because I feel it daily and I seen it miraculously through my twin! Thank you for sharing your video, you are a beautiful heart to help your twin and you both are beautiful hearts and souls and God bless Y'ALL PEACE that passes #ALL understanding ❤❤🙏☝️✌❤❤❤
JEANENE LEWIS toooo long
God is good. Keep trusting in Jesus and reading the Word of God. Thank you for sharing, Jeanene. God bless
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m a twin also, I can’t even my life without her. I love her so much. Eventhough we are constantly fighting but I just want the best for her. I’m sorry again. She’s watching you from above ☺️
JEANENE LEWIS beautiful story, sorry for your loss but I’m glad she’s at peace
JEANENE Meyer Lewis I’m a triplet and I for some reason don’t feel this bond. Wish I did...
He is so blessed to have her. She truly is the best sister anybody can have.😊
Michael leaning in for that forehead kiss at the end... Damn, had me tearing up... He loves his sister as much as she loves him. You can tell.
Even when she was talking about kids crying, his face winced. She understands for sure.
Michael is lucky to have such a caring sister.
My younger brother has autism and we are inseparable. My major is Special Education because of him, I love him so much and I don’t know what I would do with out him 💙
You are going to be such a wonderful sped teacher!!!
Julia you are just......
WOW!!!!!
No words can express how much of a wonderful person you are and how lucky Michael is to have you in his life.
God bless you both ☺☺☺☺☺
Absolutely, ! He is so blessed to have her as a sister. 😊
My baby cousins have Down syndrome and seeing things like this really prove to me that they have a bright future ahead of them, and will always be loved! Thank you so much!
Their parents should be proud. Raised compassion and loving humans.
My son has Down’s syndrome. He’s 4 months old and at first I was so worried but the more I see videos like this the more comfortable I become. This girl is a miracle,so is her brother.
Puts a huge smile across my heart! Michael is so blessed to have such a loving mother & sister. As well as they are also blessed to have someone as special & sweet as Michael ❤️
Most people would bully people with disability but this sister is so caring we need more people and siblings like her seriously
A very compassionate and loving sister!
Smart, sweet, kind, and pretty!
True
never seen anything about one twin with downs and the other not. I am a twin and my sister has downs SO WEIRD I have literally never seen anything like this and wow its so different my sister is so social and literate CRAZY
It is so wonderful to see that his sister takes care of him instead of pushing him away. Thank God for people like them. God bless.
This is what called true Love....very inspiring!!
He’s adorable. I hate when people abuse individuals with disabilities. That’s why it was refreshing to see her care for her brother.
She’s not just beautiful, she’s an absolute amazing sister!
I was 15 years old when my son was born.He was born with downsyndrome 😊🙏🏼.I am 37 now and he is 22 years old.He is my sunshine always happy & sweetheart 😊.He completes my life & I don’t no what id due without my son. I thank God for him.I feel blessed to have Cesar.

Jeff marquez that’s totally irrelevant but good for u, I guess.
@@ashleyfalcon125 easy for you to say, you probably get hit on from every guy
It must have been hard for you. At the end it's all worth it. Bless you for not giving up on you both. ❤️ I too have a Downs boy who is now 29. Blessed with having him.
Wait he is 22 years old and ur 37?..

She found her own way to communicate with her best friend; that just makes my heart so big!!!
This brought tears to my eyes... They're awesome siblings and she's very caring and smart... Makes me appreciate my sister even more because I couldn't see my life without her
He is so blessed to have a sister like her ❤️
Claudia Ivy she is also blessed to have a brother like him😁
Crying my eyes out watching this gorgeous girl and her beautiful twin brother, their bond is beautiful. You're the best sister and God hand picked you to be his twin. Twin relationships get to me...
I'm a twin momma.
I love this!💕 my baby brother has autism & he is my heart. I love knowing there are other siblings out there with such wonderful bonds as well!
That's a great sister. So kind, compassionate and selfless.
She’s so lucky to still have him i lost mine
Madisyn_plays I’m so sorry to here
@@biggiecheese4715 hear*
jocao2 bruh how did i make that mistake
Awww sorry to hear that
jocao2 You didn’t have to correct that
God doesn't make mistakes and Michael needed to be here so God assured that Mike would have somebody wonderful to love him and help him God bless your family
Jill Jenkins that’s your explanation for this?
Jill Jenkins Huh?
@@eikukaan377 he doesn't, down syndrome is just a extra chromosome in the dna strands no one is perfect weather you have ds or not he is not any less of a human and if taught right can do what any "normal" person can. Nothing different he has to learn just like everyone else its harder for him but not impossible i have 5 brothers 1 with ds and he is no different he does what we do. no exceptions
Thank you mamma! you’re such a wonderful mother.. I’m very happy that you believed that you didn’t lose anything but you gained something.. beautiful twin sister of Michael too.
This is so freaking cute I can’t 😩✨💫💕
What a loving family. Julia is a phenomenal sister and the closeness she shares with Michael is amazing. God bless them all.
5:36 that kid in the background legit got suplexed by air
BubbleTea 2 he got rekt lol
Anyone would wish to have such a loving sister like her ! How lucky is he to have her , God bless her !
So, my little brother has ADHD, and I know that down syndrome and ADHD are VERY different, but I totally understand her. I watched my brother, my only sibling, put up with a lifetime of bullying, and so I understand why shes so protective. Their relationship and the love they have for each other is beautiful. We need more caring, amazing people like them in the world
5:35 the kid in the background fell😩
Hedda Pokemon LMAOO
LOL
Lmao... 😬
🤣😂🤣😂
So beautiful. Gid bless them. She is such a good sister. People with down syndrome have a heart of gold. I had a friend in high school who had drown syndrome.
It was supposed to say God.
She is a loving and caring sister. Just love how they bond together
5:38 anyone peep the little child fall down?!
5:35 ooooof dude! I was laughing really hard at the back round.
This is the cutest thing !!! They even walk the same!😘❤️
Michael's calm and cooperative disposition makes him a teacher to us all. He is beautiful.
julia is so sweet and uplifting towards Michael! it melts my heart ♥️
She’s such a beautiful sister!👫💗💙

Michael is so lucky to have such a sweet sister ❤
I genuinely love how she has so much patience with him. I wish I could be like that. She’s so pure and has a good heart. ❤️
Can we take a moment to appreciate the little kid and his mom at 5:35. *wheeze*😂😂
I can't, i-it was so perfectly captured.
Special moments (wheeze)
She is the best twin sister anyone can ask for.
This just warms my heart
Warms my heart you can just see the love between these two...thanks for sharing your story...
He is so lucky to have you as a sister and you are lucky to have him as your brother, don't stop loving him
Did anybody else see the kid fall over in the sea
His sister is his voice and nobody understands him better then she does. Their relationship is one 2nd in a million. It's like the way the child understands when the mom gives that look that they need to get it together and words are never exchanged
And the world's best sister award goes to.......... Julia Toronczak
I love how she acts like his mom she seems so kind and sweet.
My little brother has autism and when we were younger I was the only person he'd talk to. We were homeschooled and we're only about a year apart, when we were kids we were inseparable. If we went somewhere I went with him and he'd whisper answers to others questions to me when he felt comfortable enough to talk. Even now, he doesn't want to go places without either me or my mom. Kids with autism can be so loving and compassionate, when you really get to know them they have great personalities. My brother doesn't really talk to people but he's hilarious, always making smart jokes and comebacks. On top of that he's great at certain things like electronics and math. He still can't make his own sandwiches, tea or get dressed by himself but he could take apart a computer and put it back the same way. He's really been a blessing in my life
Everytime she kisses him on his forehead my heart melted
When she kisses his forehead is the cutest ever he’s so loving 🥰
LOL, I saw a kid fall over the sand when the twins were walking in the beach😂😂😂
I just want to cry , his sister is so kind and patient. What a blessing she is.
This is sooo emotional and his sister is soo sweet
What a beautiful story! May God bless them!
Twin have a very powerful bond
5:37 lmao!!!! Kid in the background falls in water. So hilarious.
Yes
One of the best things on youtube. May God be with both of them .
One of the most amazing, pure and uplifting videos I've seen.
