- Being the first person with an intellectual disability to have served on Capitol Hill and also being a Global Messenger is impressive for the brightest of sparks, let alone someone with Down syndrome… but these are just a few of David Egan’s many achievements. The proud Washington man is educated, active, independent and has been employed for 20 years… he has never let his disability define him. David's so determined to improve the future of Down syndrome, he’s off to meet Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and spread the message of inclusion.

As a nurse with psychiatry as a special field I've worked many years with people with DS. They were not much different from most people besides they needed more time to learn their daily routines.
They had all different personalities like the rest of us, and that was for social and working skills too. I really loved to work with most of them, and became good friends with some.
The young man in the video is most impressive and reminds me a lot about a young woman I worked with for 6-7 years. We had wonderful conversations, even if she had a little trouble forming full sentences and she had crazy humor just like me 😁 Unfortunately she got cancer and passed away after a short period of treatment. I loved her 😢

Today was one of those days when, as a mom of a baby boy with DS, you think how am I gonna cope with all this! But then I get on this channel and start watching the documentaries of DS friends out there doing great I have my hopes up again. Thanks for the great stories. And thank you David for all your amazing work! I'm also a big believer of 'be the change yourself' by Gandhi. Hope to see more of your work and watch all the DS episodes with Siolta when he's older! Xxx
Thank you for your kind words Insil. We hope you and your baby boy are living a happy and healthy life!

So important to have great parents like this
Thanks for watching Ting ing!Hope you enjoyed our channel!
The work you do producing these films is amazing. You capture emotion and kindness and tolerance. David Egan has had a positive effect on me just by watching this documentary.
Thanks for your kind words Sue! Hope you enjoyed this documentary and stay tuned!
His mother just said something critical during the video - "...you have to follow (14:45) every little thing.." Well, then maybe, to slow down, focus on the small, may be in fact the greatest gift. There is a sort of "Zen" to that. It is something I find enormously enriching. Our mother had dementia,, which is another kind of cognitive difference - one brought on by old age. We kept focused on the small..no on what she was losing, but on what she still HAD...and our lives were so much richer for it. And mom BTW lived to be 95!!!
David,
You're a fantastic leader and advocate and I really appreciate you taking your time to allow the cameras into your busy life. The work you're doing is so critical, especially right now. Please keep up the great work and know that families in MN are following your leadership and hoping that your voice resonates throughout the Midwest.
I have a learning disabilty I have 7 college credits reading early childhood and going for my GED twice a week I do great for myself
He is the exception, not the rule. Those with less opportunity, or less ability, must be accepted at the level they are at, then there is true equality.
These parents are amazing. David is equally amazing. What a wonderful family. He is such a distinguished gentleman who proves that everyone is capable of whatever they want as long as they put in the work. He’s is an example we should all look up to.
Wow such wonderful dedicated parents they brought up a well adjusted bright man.
Thanks for watching Nicole Workman, hope you stay tuned!
That is insane, horrifying and tragic that I just learned that in some countries most or all pregnancies with babies with Down syndrome are terminated! No! That is so terrifying, awful, sickening!!!! They bring joy and contribute. Amazing humans!!!!!!!!! And he, in this documentary, works too! He excelled in sports and giving speeches! He speaks with such poise. I am so glad his parents had him. 💗😁
More videos of David Joseph Egan, please. How's he now in 2021?
wow! such an inspirational documentary !
Thanks Alexis, hope you enjoyed!
David might have DS, but he does NOT, by any measure, have a disability!
David you are remarkable young man, your accomplishments are such inspiration to not only our DS community. So proud of you, your hard work, and your parents, they did an outstanding job. 💙
Wow, you amazing and thanks for sharing your story with us. You are such an inspiration not only for people with down syndrome, but for all people in this world.
Thanks for watching Dawoud, hope you stay tuned!
Hi my name is Becky and I have didablites I have Noonan's sydroum
Thanks for watching Becky, hope you enjoyed!
Attitude Yes I did
I see. I hope that you stay safe. This has been a terrible year. Even for people that has no disability. Sometimes videos like that keep me from getting extremely depressed due to the pandemic lockdown measures all over the world.
David and his parents are amazing!!
They sure are Meshell! Thanks for watching!
Amazingly talented man! Olympic legend and advocate. So much pride in so many achievements! The sports game really showed how his enthusiasm and team spirit really lifts up everyone. From his words you can hear how much he thinks about others and works to be supporting others and make big changes in the world 💜
Anybody with a learning disabilty please dont let anybody tell you cant do something you want do prove them wrong You smart keep up the good work.
What a super guy...inspiring
What I would give to have had such amazing parents! That's what makes a person! Love, leadership, and good role models early on.
David, you're totally awesome & wise beyond your years! And your cute little nephew is so adorable giving you a high five like that!
Thank you for you kind words! and thanks for watching!
I hope to be like the oarents of David to my son with DS. Its just that the government support to people with disability in the 🇵🇭 is so lacking
Incredibly impressive! David and his parents!
That is really inspirational!!
Thanks for watching! we're glad you liked it!
Spreading this video to family and friends. This gent surely knows the value of hard work!
This is a man that refused to be a victim and worked hard to get where he is. Much respect.
So happy his parents invested in him the way they did.
David it amazing person who go out and help others and work so hard to that point it amazing thing for David 😀
Videos like this make me question what Down's syndrome even is.
WOWWWWW,DAVID THE AMAZING PERSON.I ADMIRED HIM👍💓.
👎🏻
👍🏻
He's truly amazing!!
Thank you for your kind words!
I’ve learned so much from your documentaries. I was never prejudiced against people with disabilities, but I didn’t know how much diversity existed within those groups. These documentaries have not only helped me understand and learn about different disabilities I had never herd of, but they also have taught me not to underestimate people’s capabilities. Thank you very much!
Beautiful
What an exceptional young man. His achievements exceed those of many people without any disabilities.
I like watching documentaries like these, just like serial killer, disease, drugs and mysteries! 😲
He is normal like any other person. I was worried about my son what will happen to his life but what I have seen what David has been doing its really encouraging me as a mother.
I am so glad this encouraged you! Don't let a diagnosis define how you parent your child! As a medical professional I have noticed: the parents that have had the most success with disabled children, are those who treated their children as they had no disabilities. They had the same expectations for their child as any other "normal " child. Then their children rose to the occasion 😊
@@DrDIY1 thank you Doctor for your advice. I will always treat him and encourage him whenever he want to do something. Thanks for your reply
God Bless!!!
Amazing! This guy is inspiring.
Amazing. Thank you
