This tutorial is very helpful to our online IGCSE, A Level students studying from home - thank you:)

What a lovely video.
I find it very touching.
It pulls at my heart strings.
Much love to all these people and their carer/s. Xx

This is sad..(the part about spending 16 years being abandoned and no one communicating )

At the end of Ruth's narrative, notice - the words that come out of the presenter, to Ruth: "That was great. That was very good. That was terrific." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How patronizing. Like Ruth is in elementary school...I have always, and still do--hate those words, when addressed to an adult. How insulting.

[@ShamrockNRoller]

+Pat Skrocki I didn't find that to be patronizing at all. The interviewer was simply thanking Ruth and telling her that she enjoyed it. I've seen this exact same thing done lots of times with people who function without a developmental disability. Maybe you were just being a bit too sensitive at the time. I've worked with people who have mental and physical disabilities my whole life, so I'm very aware of how people can mis-interact sometimes, but I don't think this was the case at all in the video.

[@pskrocki]

Then, she should have just told her, "I enjoyed this."

[@pskrocki]

Does this interviewer use the referenced comments, i.e., 'that was very good' when interviewing others?

[@markarca6360]

The same technology used by the late Stephen Hawking.

WOO MASSACHUSETTS! sry..

[@emilyl1785]

WTF is with the woman in the pink blazer with the black hair in the beginning? She's basically mocking and making fun of Ruth!

[@kelvinmorris1991]

She wasn't mocking her

[@manueladarazsdi9675]

Emily, you totally misinterpreted what she was saying.

[@joediaz3438]

Omg I'm DIEING this funny

[@phillippasteur3904]

Hopefully you will! And it's spelled "dying."

[@phillippasteur3904]

What's up with the creepy laughing voice? Creepy!

[@jengsky008]

ruth cant speak... and the comedian is deaf.
