i got bullyed too because i was bigger then some people and one day i went up to l all of the people who did bully me and right after that they stopeed that day so i know how it its so hard
i have a brother with autism and i agree, it has made me more compassionate. i sometimes wonder what it would be like if i didn't have a brother with a disability - i might be an intolerant person if i didn't have him. but it is a struggle too constantly having to defend him or try to make him understand how people see him. it's difficult. do you yourself have plans for mason when he gets older? i find myself worrying about this often with my brother.
I have a special needs brother too. It is probably one of the hardest things ever but there are good parts too. I worry about the future A LOT. I'm about to go to college and I'm trying to adjust to having my own life without leaving him behind. And from the financial aspect, I really don't want to take out loans because when I become my brother's caretaker, I have to be financially able to do that. It's so many variables put together.
This brought tears to my eyes. Mason is an amazing human and he needs to deal with the condition he has and sometimes it's not easy because kids can be mean to him, or he can just struggle but it's nice to see that he has such a supportive sister
I have a little sister with autism, she has taught me so much. Even watching the way she acts and how she handles little things in daily life, she has made me more compassionate too, you are also relatable to me as patience, its harder. My sister has autism so she looks the same as anyone else, so if she gets upset in public, as she looks ordinary people just see her as a spoilt brat, but really its a disability :( but shes perfect xxx so are you and Mason xxxxx Love3
I think that what u said is really amazing... because my uncle has autism to because when he was about to be born the umbilical cord got raped around his head REALLY tight and he Dosnt know slot of things so it has taught me to teach him so things he might not know...and stuff like that and that was beutiful
I have grown up with an older brother (he is nearly 2 years older than me) who is also special, you have basically summed up everything that I think and feel as well growing up, I am more accepting of people and don't judge people on how they look and I also seem to gravitate towards people with special needs when I was in school, when we was growing up we did have our fights but what brother and sister haven't had a squabble growing up, I am proud of my brother, I taught my brother to ride a trike when I was 3 and he was 5 and taught my brother to walk even though I am younger than my brother he wasn't walking when I started walking (I started walking at less than 8 months old and my brother was nearly 3 he started walking around 3 not long after me) and my mum told me that I helped my brother to crawl at first and then to walk, I am now disabled due to brain injuries but me and my brother still treat each other the same way, we still squabble and personally don't think that will change but it doesn't change the fact that I love my big brother and wouldn't change him for the world, it's amazing what you are doing on your channel, I came by your channel just by chance as this video was a suggestion at the side when I was watching a video on someone else's channel, keep up the great work and look forward to watching your older videos as well as new videos as well, take care Gwenny and Mason.
From what I have noticed over the years that extra chromosome means a LOT of extra love. Everyone I ever meant with "UPS" sorry can't call it "downs" , are VERY lovable from what I have seen!
I LOVED this! I have an 18 year old brother who has down symdrome as well and this is exactly how I feel and what I tell people about having a brother with special needs. He is so caring and loving, he's the love of my life! He has taught me so much, I always say that all the good features in my personality have been developed thanks to growing up with him. He humbles me. You might understand that they are very loving, my brother in particular is so funny, he cracks me up every time we are together. He has so much personality, and by the way I have 2 other brothers, I'm the only girl as well. I have dealt with bullying and rejection, sadly, which really saddens me, but I've learned from it as well and I couldn't be any more blessed and greatful about having him as my brother. Thanks for making all this videos, I just discovered your channel and I'm loving it. May God bless you and your family.
having a special brother makes u more special i mean i wouldent know i dont have a brother with down syndrome i actually dont have a brother at all i have a sister.Honestly meeting u and mason has inspired me alot. I learned that everybody is normal no matter how they look or act. Thanks
you're really an incredible person, you have a heart of gold (: I can tell by watching&hearing you speak that you just absolutely love him. I can't tell you how happy this makes me to see how grateful you are to have him. got tears in my eyes.
I have mild autism and cerebra palsy and I know the importance of accepting others and being accepted, one can't work without the other. Gwenny, I admire You for the values You have in Your life and Your brother Mason, What a remarkable young man. He's got the same name as My little nephew. Have them together in a house hold, if Mason is called both come running, lol, anyway, I believe God has a great plan in store for both You and Your Bro. God bless!!
SatansRaven666 why are you replying so negatively on all these nice comments? No one cares how 'satanic' and 'spoopy' you claim to be, in reality there's no God as well as there is no Satan. Someday you'll grow up and be very embarrassed by how you're acting now, but for now, I'll just be embarrassed for you:)
My brother and I both have Autism, but we have different cases. It's nice that you've learned so much from your brother. He seems like a really nice person, and so do you. You are blessed to have the brother you have. (:
I'm joining a club next year at my school that pairs you up with a student who has special needs. You go places with them, hang out, get to know them etc. It seems really fun and I've seen a lot of people at my school in it. I really wasn't planning on joining until after I saw your videos with Mason. Thank you guys so much!
I'm glad to know that there's other sisters out there that have siblings with disabilities. I think ur doing an amazing job and ur an amazing example. :)
For more videos with Mason click here! th-cam.com/play/PLx3xwrX66I16HyR45KA-JyzhPUw2mFV5B.html Mason and I want to thank you so much for all your support! Please leave any video requests for Mason and I! Thank you
Yea..... my brothers and I fight over video games alot..... im happy she is a nice girl and is not snotty and mean!!!!!!!!!! Like my comment if you agree!!!
youre a good sister having a disability doesn't change anything. Im disabled myself and im involved in the special Olympics and ive been told I brighten peoples day. I want to be a childrens special needs counselor. I wouldn't wanna change my life at all because I am who I am and nobody can tell me different. I may be different but I am still a person.
I love this video, I have a three year old with DS and you are a wonderful sister! So blessed! He's so blessed to have you and you are blessed to have him! I hope he's ok!
I work with special needs students at my high school. Most are extremely severe but that doesn't change there personality/ who they are as a person. It's 100% what I want to do once I graduate. It's so amazing to watch them grow and learn and each student I work with gains a special part in my heart
I have a 5 year old on the autism spectrum and an almost 2 year old daughter with no challenges so far. My biggest wish is for my daughter to feel this way about her brother. Right now they have such an incredible bond and it melts my heart to see it! My son has also taught me so much about patience. Thank you for sharing this and bringing awareness to so many people.
This is very beautiful and made me cry I am 16 and I have an 11 yr old brother with autism and aspergers. He is very smart (as well as other children/adults with disabilities) very high functioning. And as all children/adults with disabilities he does have his moment and he does have that one thing that sets him part from ""normal"" ppl. But he doesn't let that get to him. To him he's the "normal" one. And he does pretty well. And I'm so proud and happy to have a brother like him.
I have an older brother with autism and work with younger autistic kids at camp every summer. I love all the kids and my brother. he has taught me to never judge anyone because you don't know what's going on for them, and also taught me to not care what others think if they are judging us in public, because my brother looks normal but acts a bit different, so people state at us, but I've learned to ignore it and I love my brother!
I know how it's like because my little sister is a year younger and also has down syndrome and people say mean things about her and all my friends tell me what they hear so that I can take care of it or so they can. It is really great to have her as a sibling because she is so sweet, intelligent, and she really has a great sense of humor and that just shows that you can have a disability but it doesn't make you a bad person. Really having my sister in my life has probably been the best thing to ever happen to me.
I work with people who have disabilities and it's fantastic that you are happy to speak about your brother with confidence because that's all they need is someone to love and respect them enough to feel confident about having them in your life. I see it every day when I go to work, people staring at my clients and I cannot help but get so hot under the collar because they're just like everyone else but they have manners unlike the general public! Thanks again for sharing your brother with us. Bless you and your family.
I love how you include your brother in your videos I have a brother also with disabilities and I think it's so good to see someone who knows what it is like 😊
You and your brother are so sweet!! My mom works with a lot of kids with down syndrome and I babysit twins one has down syndrome. I've definitely learned a lot from them even though they are younger then me
I really love this, I love that you just open up about your brother, because I know a lot of people who would be ashamed of having a sibling with a disability! ♡
Three of my friends are mentally disabled. I love them all, I met most of them in elementary school and we've been friends since. They have taught me so much and they've actually helped me with my bipolar. We help each other really. And starting out having a friend with a disability in elementary was a very good thing, because growing up with them in my life has helped me to appreciate the little things in life, they have opened my eyes up to so many things and taught me different, amazing ways to look at this world and the many people in it. They have taught me compassion and patience, something that I have yet to learn from my therapist or that my pills for bipolar have helped. And now, hearing your story and seeing all of these people down here, it makes my hear swell with pride that there are amazing people out there that are willing to help and befriend anyone with a disability. So thank you all for bringing back hope to humanity and showing the world that being different, whether it be a disability or just yourself, is perfectly acceptable.
Having a little anxiety with exams so needed something to help relax me. This was perfect and such a delight to listen to while revising, love the videos 😊 and how family is so special between you two
I have a little sister with cerebral palsy and I love her. She can't walk or talk but she will randomly start laughing so much and it's so adorable. My room is on the third floor and I have to walk through her room and sometimes at night or even sometimes I get woken up in the morning to the sound of her laughing. Like you said I feel like I'm a better person because of her. Your brother can function on his own but my sister is like a new born so sometimes I do wish she didn't have cerebral palsy so she could live a normal life and experience the things that anyone else would. It makes me mad when people say oh it's so sad bc she doesn't know what's going on around her and everything must be confusing. My dad and step mom will say "sissys here" and she will look around the room to find me. Or I will be sitting in the chair and they will say where's sissy and she will look to where I am. Someone will make a joke or make a noise and she will start laughing. She does two different things with her mouth when she is either hungry or thirsty. I feel like she's normal on the inside but her soul is stuck in this little body that won't let her communicate.
I really love your videos and I don't have disabled siblings but I volunteer every weekend at a centre for disabled people and I completely agree on how it teaches you patience and compassion. Love your videos btw xx
I have a brother and sister with Down Syndrome. They are 10 and 5. They are two of the sweetest people I have ever met. I feel exactly as you do about having a sibling with a disability. Keep sharing your message, your doing a great job!!
I grew up in a filipino orphanage back in the philippines ,where half the kids there had disabilities and the rest like myself was not. They teached us sign language to communicate with the deaf ones and so on. I learned from growing some part of my life there with them. That even if someone has a disability and might be a slightes different then others. They still the same as us. Sharing same heart, the human soul etc. I learned as u did to ur brother. Not to juge people easily. As i grew up. I told my friends that i wouldnt mind date a person with a disability if that happened. They told me i was insane for doing that. Now i been dating my boyfriend for a half year which has aspergers within Autism. It learned me to try be patience with his way of speaking and the way he thinks. Theres alot of misunderstanding between us since he arent so good with words or at times look me straight at my eyes. He has also his typical stereotypical hands moves they usually known for within autism. but it works pretty well and im proud that trough our relationship. He improved himself much more and we both decided to share a future together and rest of our life together. Theres no doub about it.
This video means so much to me! My brother had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and he passed away 3 years ago, he was 22. I am very much into science and getting 2 degrees one in biology and one in med tech and planning on going into medical research because of him. He made me who I am today and I would go through it all over again. I am more accepting, patient and compassionate as well. Having a brother with a disability was a blessing to my family and I in so many ways. Even though Louis is gone, I feel he still lives in me and everything he has taught me stays with me
One of my dad's friends has a son with autism, and he's so sweet. He LOVES the vacuum cleaner but absolutely hates when it's on (because of the noise). I feel like people with autism still have that innocent spark and nature about them, which is why they always seem so happy! Kinda like little kids, and tell Mason that his fans hope he gets well soon!
I ran across your videos while researching down's syndrome for a short story I am working on and I want to congratulate you on these videos. They are really beautifully done; you communicate such love, warmth and understanding in such a touching way. Lots of valuable insights. Truly commendable. Thanks for sharing!
Aww he is so cute and he is probably so sweet like he is on camera!! Tell him that if anybody is bullying him, tell him that no one can bring him down and he is perfect!
You're so inspiring.. My younger sister has a tumor on her optic nerve... Which makes her legally blind... Having her as a sister has taught me patience... So good to hear someone else's thoughts because I don't know many other people with siblings that have disabilities. Can't wait till the next mason video!!! Hope he gets better!
I was browsing TH-cam and I found this video and I am glad. I also have a brother who has disabilities. He is blind and has brain damage and cerebral palsy. I feel like you described perfectly what it's like having a brother with disabilities. I love how you include your brother in your videos because people with any disabilitie love having friends and being social (at least my brother does). I want to thank you for posting this video because it really touched my heart. With Love, Gaby Hawk
This is beautiful. I have a cousin with down-syndrome (but I see him regularly, almost all the time) and he gets judged alot. He's a very loud and happy person and very loving too. I can relate to a lot of the things you mentioned in your video such as having to be patient. I'm still glad I've got him in my life whether he has this disability or not. Whenever I see him he has me in stitches.
i also have an older brother with down syndrome. i grew up with him as well, so i know what you feel like and i feel the same way! thankyou for making such a great video. i feel like my brother taught me how to be patient too! i have some other friends with disabilities and whenever i see someone with a disability i always go over and say hi. Thank you for making such a great video! xx
I swear this video made me cry ! You are like so sweet and so caring and i really love your videos with mason ! Keep doing more ! Theres a few kids at my school that have mental and physical disabilities . I get so mad when people make fun of them . I have just always wanted to connect with people with disabilities and make them feel special ! And this video has taught me that i should !
I organized a small service project where I got other high school students from a club I am in to make Christmas decorations with a group of disabled adults whose family didn't take them home for the holidays. Mason is lucky to have such a wonderful family. Best wishes to you all❤️
Oh my gosh I cannot even explain how I'm always thinking the same thing about personality and how my brother affects mine and how my life is pretty normal!!! YOUR AN AMZING MAKEUP ARTIST!!!
I help kids with disabilites at my temple prepare for their bar mitzvahs, volunteer at vista del mar, volunteer at friendship circle of los angeles, and once a week play games with the autistic kids at my school. Working with kids with disabilities is an amazing experience. You and your brother are truly amazing.
I can completely agree! Kids with disabilities change your life. My brother is Autistic, and we have 13 years apart from each other, and I am extremely good with disabled people now, because of him. I am a junior, and all the kids I my school that are disabled, are bullied horribly, and I put a stop to it when I can. I go down to the lunch room on my spare periods and have lunch with them and talk to them, and walk with them in the halls, they are all so sweet! You cannot every judge someone who looks different. You don't know their story! One boy was raped and held under water, and almost died, and just because he has a deformity, and is "slow" doesn't mean anything, you don't know why, so don't judge! :-) I love how awesome you are with your brother. It reminds me that I am not alone, and we will influence more people to be a little more kind! Keep being an incredible person! You inspire so many!
I wish the best for mason and your family.my son has autism and we love him so much.we have learn so much from him..to be patient and kind to other people with disabilities.👍
THANK YOU for sharing your experiences.Thank you for explaining that you get so much out of being around differently baled people.I think as much or more than they get from you in most cases.
I totally agree with you on saying that having someone with a disability in your family teaches you patience and it definitely teaches you so much more! I couldn't think about a life without my brother, who is disabled. He has autism and the so-called Savant syndrome which means that his abilities are far in excess of what we would call normal. He's extremely good at maths and technology and this makes me so proud! The only sad thing about this is that he can't talk, that's why he uses a computer where he can type in with symbols what he wants to say.
My younger brother has down syndrome. And it definitely changed me. I was the only child for 12 years, and after he was born everything changed. I love him to bits and I don't know what I would do if it weren't for him to put a smile on my face. He is currently 4 but obviously looks 3. He is amazing and thank you for showing me again how great our siblings are.
i love your video i know the feeling i also grew up with a brother with disability mine is younger but i like your video it get the word out that special needs kids with siblings are great!
my cousin has down syndrome and shes about 6 or 7 years older than me and shes basically a sister to me. Shes taught me so many things like patience,love,and compassion. I dont always get to see her or spend time with her because we live in different states but when i do, we always make the most of it :)
Awww mason is so adorable I just love to help disable children and adults they are special in there own way so what I'm saying to you is your very lucky to have him in your life he such a blessing to your family
You inspire me so much, gwenny. You and mason are so sweet, and truly an inspiration just to be a more happy and better person. Thank you for making this video! It was amazing :) love you guys!
I have an autistic brother and you hit the nail on the head in this video!!! I applaud you!!! You are an amazing wonderful person! You are smart beautiful and the nicest person ever! Your such a awesome sister!!
My best friend has a brother with autism. He has the biggest smile on his face every time I see him and he is a sweet person. I'm not a very patient person and this video has inspired me to pay attention and be patient! I love this video so much!❤️
I just wanted to say, I really appreciate that you're sharing your experiences with your brother with the rest of the world :) I have an older brother with Down Syndrome as well. He's just a year older than me (I'm 23 and he's 24), so we did everything together growing up. At one point I was his translator for my parents because I could understand the things he said and they couldn't, haha. I agree with a lot of the things you said in the video - I feel like my brother has made me a much better person as well, and I couldn't imagine life without him or any other way :) You are such a sweet sister; I watched a few of your other videos and I love that you include him and you want to study speech pathology. I just graduated from college and although I didn't study anything related to special needs, it's something super important to me and one of those things that will just be a constant in my life. It's hard to explain just how much we love/respect/look up to our brothers, but I think you did a pretty good job in this video! Kudos to you and I hope the best for you and Mason! P.S.: My brother also loves singing and dancing - I have a feeling he and Mason would get along!
I have 4 younger siblings with Down Syndrome and I agree with everything you said in this video. I absolutely adore your channel, you and Mason! You are both wonderful.
This was the best TH-cam video I have ever seen in my life. I watch your channel because of these reasons and you are such a sweet person and you care so much for him and he is the cutest person and you guys are soo adorable !!
My brother has autism and cerebral palsy too and I can relate to nearly all of the things you said. When people ask me what it is like to have a brother who is disabled I never know what to say because I have never known any different. I really liked this video so thanks for posting it.
GWENNY MASON IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE A SWEET COMPASSIONATE ARTICULATE AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS LITTLE SISTER LIKE YOU!!! I KNOW YOU CAN AND OFTEN HAVE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN YOU TWO UNLIKE ANY OTHER THERAPY ... AND THATS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.... KUDOS FOR YOU......& GOD BLESS!!
I agree with you so much, my little sister is down syndrome too and I couldn't imagine my life not being this way because its amazing having a special angel in our family. I love how you brong him in to your videos because its probabaly making him more confident and its just amazing I respect you so much, everytging you said i totally 100% agree with you, people with a disibility especially down syndrome have a heart of gold and it is just a blessing having them in our lives. 💜
having a brother like him must be amazing people with syndrome show u a lot he is so cute and people with syndrome are not different my opinion I like people with syndrome more than people with not because they are so calm, and loving and sharing !! This video inspired me so much I wish I had a sibling like him because they are amazing! Ily and mason so much
I don't have a sibling with a disability but I work with them at my school and they are the best. They are so kind and have pure hearts. I work with a girl with down syndrome and she is super funny and kind. Working with them at school has made me want to be a special needs teacher. So next school year I Will being going to college for that. People with disability can really make a difference in people's lives. They are the best.
My little brother is 9 and he has ADHD. ADHD generally have problems paying attention or concentrating. They can't seem to follow directions and are easily bored or frustrated with tasks. They also tend to move constantly and are impulsive, not stopping to think before they act. These behaviors are generally common in children. But they occur more often than usual and are more severe in a child with ADHD.
Ily soo much I have an older brother who is handicapped and I love him with all my heart so I know how you feel I and I also think the same thing when someone says that they are sorry that he is handicapped and u just love how you include him in your videos you are my idol
this girl is beautiful on the inside and the outside
Infinity percent true
SatansRaven666 to be mean to someone else who can't help the way they are.is bang out of order.mason is a presious human being who deserves respect.
SatansRaven666 chriistians (like) my self are just doing what we are called to do and don't deserve rudeness.
David Hinkle with you all the way unkind words not only hurt mason but all those that love him like Gwenny and his family and friends.
David Hinkle im so sorry to hear that david.just remember god loves you and he makes no mistakes.
Omg this girl has a heart of gold I am so short and all the kids did in my school was laughed at me an called means names
Even though they had a sibling with a disability
i got bullyed too because i was bigger then some people and one day i went up to l all of the people who did bully me and right after that they stopeed that day so i know how it its so hard
jaime DeVires me too I'm short but I am fortunate enough not to have been picked on for that but other stuff.
i have a brother with autism and i agree, it has made me more compassionate. i sometimes wonder what it would be like if i didn't have a brother with a disability - i might be an intolerant person if i didn't have him. but it is a struggle too constantly having to defend him or try to make him understand how people see him. it's difficult. do you yourself have plans for mason when he gets older? i find myself worrying about this often with my brother.
I am glad that you think the same way that I do I hope that you don't yell at him at all! People that are disabled might be emotional
I also have a brother with autism he is 6 but acts mostly like a 4 or 3 yr old
I have a special needs brother too. It is probably one of the hardest things ever but there are good parts too. I worry about the future A LOT. I'm about to go to college and I'm trying to adjust to having my own life without leaving him behind. And from the financial aspect, I really don't want to take out loans because when I become my brother's caretaker, I have to be financially able to do that. It's so many variables put together.
I have an autistic brother and I agree with everything you say!!
My brother has some breathing problems, and amnesia
you're a great sister.
This brought tears to my eyes. Mason is an amazing human and he needs to deal with the condition he has and sometimes it's not easy because kids can be mean to him, or he can just struggle but it's nice to see that he has such a supportive sister
SatansRaven666 That is very rude to say about people who have disabilities
I have a little sister with autism, she has taught me so much. Even watching the way she acts and how she handles little things in daily life, she has made me more compassionate too, you are also relatable to me as patience, its harder. My sister has autism so she looks the same as anyone else, so if she gets upset in public, as she looks ordinary people just see her as a spoilt brat, but really its a disability :( but shes perfect xxx so are you and Mason xxxxx Love3
I have à autism brother!!!!
My brother has autism too
*****
I have got a little brother with autism too.
Me too I have a sister with autism she just turned 8 yesterday
I think that what u said is really amazing... because my uncle has autism to because when he was about to be born the umbilical cord got raped around his head REALLY tight and he Dosnt know slot of things so it has taught me to teach him so things he might not know...and stuff like that and that was beutiful
I just found your channel and I love it. Keep being you!!!!
same
I have grown up with an older brother (he is nearly 2 years older than me) who is also special, you have basically summed up everything that I think and feel as well growing up, I am more accepting of people and don't judge people on how they look and I also seem to gravitate towards people with special needs when I was in school, when we was growing up we did have our fights but what brother and sister haven't had a squabble growing up, I am proud of my brother, I taught my brother to ride a trike when I was 3 and he was 5 and taught my brother to walk even though I am younger than my brother he wasn't walking when I started walking (I started walking at less than 8 months old and my brother was nearly 3 he started walking around 3 not long after me) and my mum told me that I helped my brother to crawl at first and then to walk, I am now disabled due to brain injuries but me and my brother still treat each other the same way, we still squabble and personally don't think that will change but it doesn't change the fact that I love my big brother and wouldn't change him for the world, it's amazing what you are doing on your channel, I came by your channel just by chance as this video was a suggestion at the side when I was watching a video on someone else's channel, keep up the great work and look forward to watching your older videos as well as new videos as well, take care Gwenny and Mason.

Gwenny, I admire You for the values You have in Your life and Your brother Mason, What a remarkable young man. He's got the same name as My little nephew. Have them together in a house hold, if Mason is called both come running, lol, anyway, I believe God has a great plan in store for both You and Your Bro.
God bless!!
SatansRaven666 why are you replying so negatively on all these nice comments? No one cares how 'satanic' and 'spoopy' you claim to be, in reality there's no God as well as there is no Satan. Someday you'll grow up and be very embarrassed by how you're acting now, but for now, I'll just be embarrassed for you:)
My brother and I both have Autism, but we have different cases. It's nice that you've learned so much from your brother. He seems like a really nice person, and so do you. You are blessed to have the brother you have. (:
I'm joining a club next year at my school that pairs you up with a student who has special needs. You go places with them, hang out, get to know them etc. It seems really fun and I've seen a lot of people at my school in it. I really wasn't planning on joining until after I saw your videos with Mason. Thank you guys so much!
I'm glad to know that there's other sisters out there that have siblings with disabilities. I think ur doing an amazing job and ur an amazing example. :)

Best brother and sister ever you guys are nice to each another me and my brother fight a lot 😀😅😉😍👫👍🏻👍🏻
Yea..... my brothers and I fight over video games alot..... im happy she is a nice girl and is not snotty and mean!!!!!!!!!! Like my comment if you agree!!!
I love how u love ur brother and ur so so nice to him
I love mason so much and awesome
+Kirsten I can relate a bit because I have a friend with autism
youre a good sister having a disability doesn't change anything. Im disabled myself and im involved in the special Olympics and ive been told I brighten peoples day. I want to be a childrens special needs counselor. I wouldn't wanna change my life at all because I am who I am and nobody can tell me different. I may be different but I am still a person.
I love this video, I have a three year old with DS and you are a wonderful sister! So blessed! He's so blessed to have you and you are blessed to have him! I hope he's ok!
I work with special needs students at my high school. Most are extremely severe but that doesn't change there personality/ who they are as a person. It's 100% what I want to do once I graduate. It's so amazing to watch them grow and learn and each student I work with gains a special part in my heart
I have a 5 year old on the autism spectrum and an almost 2 year old daughter with no challenges so far. My biggest wish is for my daughter to feel this way about her brother. Right now they have such an incredible bond and it melts my heart to see it! My son has also taught me so much about patience. Thank you for sharing this and bringing awareness to so many people.
This is very beautiful and made me cry
I am 16 and I have an 11 yr old brother with autism and aspergers. He is very smart (as well as other children/adults with disabilities) very high functioning. And as all children/adults with disabilities he does have his moment and he does have that one thing that sets him part from ""normal"" ppl. But he doesn't let that get to him. To him he's the "normal" one. And he does pretty well. And I'm so proud and happy to have a brother like him.
Me too.
Me too. He has Asperger. They're special in their own way
My cousin has asbergers. Not high functioning. I feel for you 😊😊
I have an older brother with autism and work with younger autistic kids at camp every summer. I love all the kids and my brother. he has taught me to never judge anyone because you don't know what's going on for them, and also taught me to not care what others think if they are judging us in public, because my brother looks normal but acts a bit different, so people state at us, but I've learned to ignore it and I love my brother!
I know how it's like because my little sister is a year younger and also has down syndrome and people say mean things about her and all my friends tell me what they hear so that I can take care of it or so they can. It is really great to have her as a sibling because she is so sweet, intelligent, and she really has a great sense of humor and that just shows that you can have a disability but it doesn't make you a bad person. Really having my sister in my life has probably been the best thing to ever happen to me.
I have a brother that is hard of hearing and he also has anxiety on top of that.. I love people with disabilities!! He is amazing..
I work with people who have disabilities and it's fantastic that you are happy to speak about your brother with confidence because that's all they need is someone to love and respect them enough to feel confident about having them in your life.
I see it every day when I go to work, people staring at my clients and I cannot help but get so hot under the collar because they're just like everyone else but they have manners unlike the general public!
Thanks again for sharing your brother with us.
Bless you and your family.
He is such a sweetheart. I interact with deaf & blind students and I love how it teaches me to take the extra time to communicate & grow with them.
I love how you include your brother in your videos I have a brother also with disabilities and I think it's so good to see someone who knows what it is like 😊
You and your brother are so sweet!! My mom works with a lot of kids with down syndrome and I babysit twins one has down syndrome. I've definitely learned a lot from them even though they are younger then me
I really love this, I love that you just open up about your brother, because I know a lot of people who would be ashamed of having a sibling with a disability! ♡
This is beautiful. You're such a kind soul :) mason is very lucky to have you in his life!
Three of my friends are mentally disabled. I love them all, I met most of them in elementary school and we've been friends since. They have taught me so much and they've actually helped me with my bipolar. We help each other really. And starting out having a friend with a disability in elementary was a very good thing, because growing up with them in my life has helped me to appreciate the little things in life, they have opened my eyes up to so many things and taught me different, amazing ways to look at this world and the many people in it. They have taught me compassion and patience, something that I have yet to learn from my therapist or that my pills for bipolar have helped. And now, hearing your story and seeing all of these people down here, it makes my hear swell with pride that there are amazing people out there that are willing to help and befriend anyone with a disability. So thank you all for bringing back hope to humanity and showing the world that being different, whether it be a disability or just yourself, is perfectly acceptable.
Having a little anxiety with exams so needed something to help relax me. This was perfect and such a delight to listen to while revising, love the videos 😊 and how family is so special between you two
I have a little sister with cerebral palsy and I love her. She can't walk or talk but she will randomly start laughing so much and it's so adorable. My room is on the third floor and I have to walk through her room and sometimes at night or even sometimes I get woken up in the morning to the sound of her laughing. Like you said I feel like I'm a better person because of her. Your brother can function on his own but my sister is like a new born so sometimes I do wish she didn't have cerebral palsy so she could live a normal life and experience the things that anyone else would. It makes me mad when people say oh it's so sad bc she doesn't know what's going on around her and everything must be confusing. My dad and step mom will say "sissys here" and she will look around the room to find me. Or I will be sitting in the chair and they will say where's sissy and she will look to where I am. Someone will make a joke or make a noise and she will start laughing. She does two different things with her mouth when she is either hungry or thirsty. I feel like she's normal on the inside but her soul is stuck in this little body that won't let her communicate.
I really love your videos and I don't have disabled siblings but I volunteer every weekend at a centre for disabled people and I completely agree on how it teaches you patience and compassion. Love your videos btw xx
I have a brother and sister with Down Syndrome. They are 10 and 5. They are two of the sweetest people I have ever met. I feel exactly as you do about having a sibling with a disability. Keep sharing your message, your doing a great job!!
You are so so nice to him it just melts my heart and makes me want to shed happy tears
I grew up in a filipino orphanage back in the philippines ,where half the kids there had disabilities and the rest like myself was not. They teached us sign language to communicate with the deaf ones and so on.
I learned from growing some part of my life there with them. That even if someone has a disability and might be a slightes different then others. They still the same as us. Sharing same heart, the human soul etc. I learned as u did to ur brother. Not to juge people easily.
As i grew up. I told my friends that i wouldnt mind date a person with a disability if that happened. They told me i was insane for doing that.
Now i been dating my boyfriend for a half year which has aspergers within Autism. It learned me to try be patience with his way of speaking and the way he thinks. Theres alot of misunderstanding between us since he arent so good with words or at times look me straight at my eyes. He has also his typical stereotypical hands moves they usually known for within autism.
but it works pretty well and im proud that trough our relationship. He improved himself much more and we both decided to share a future together and rest of our life together. Theres no doub about it.
This video means so much to me! My brother had Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and he passed away 3 years ago, he was 22. I am very much into science and getting 2 degrees one in biology and one in med tech and planning on going into medical research because of him. He made me who I am today and I would go through it all over again. I am more accepting, patient and compassionate as well. Having a brother with a disability was a blessing to my family and I in so many ways. Even though Louis is gone, I feel he still lives in me and everything he has taught me stays with me
Well spoken..we need more people to open up about such topics and appreciate rather than judge
One of my dad's friends has a son with autism, and he's so sweet. He LOVES the vacuum cleaner but absolutely hates when it's on (because of the noise). I feel like people with autism still have that innocent spark and nature about them, which is why they always seem so happy! Kinda like little kids, and tell Mason that his fans hope he gets well soon!
you seriously have a heart of gold, you have the best personality
This channel is amazing! I'm disabled and I can relate to things that you've gone through in a way. Thank you for making this video
You are precious! You and Mason are so blessed to have each other.:)
I ran across your videos while researching down's syndrome for a short story I am working on and I want to congratulate you on these videos. They are really beautifully done; you communicate such love, warmth and understanding in such a touching way. Lots of valuable insights. Truly commendable. Thanks for sharing!
omg she is really sweet and has a really big heart keep it up
You are so sweet! Not only are you lucky to have him as a brother but he's lucky to have you as a sister❤️
Aww he is so cute and he is probably so sweet like he is on camera!! Tell him that if anybody is bullying him, tell him that no one can bring him down and he is perfect!
You're so inspiring.. My younger sister has a tumor on her optic nerve... Which makes her legally blind... Having her as a sister has taught me patience... So good to hear someone else's thoughts because I don't know many other people with siblings that have disabilities. Can't wait till the next mason video!!! Hope he gets better!
I was browsing TH-cam and I found this video and I am glad. I also have a brother who has disabilities. He is blind and has brain damage and cerebral palsy. I feel like you described perfectly what it's like having a brother with disabilities. I love how you include your brother in your videos because people with any disabilitie love having friends and being social (at least my brother does). I want to thank you for posting this video because it really touched my heart.
With Love,
Gaby Hawk
Did she say my sisters brother lol. Love the video and your brother he just brightens my day
I have an older brother with cerebral palsy and I couldn't agree more with you:)
This is beautiful. I have a cousin with down-syndrome (but I see him regularly, almost all the time) and he gets judged alot. He's a very loud and happy person and very loving too. I can relate to a lot of the things you mentioned in your video such as having to be patient. I'm still glad I've got him in my life whether he has this disability or not. Whenever I see him he has me in stitches.
i also have an older brother with down syndrome. i grew up with him as well, so i know what you feel like and i feel the same way! thankyou for making such a great video. i feel like my brother taught me how to be patient too! i have some other friends with disabilities and whenever i see someone with a disability i always go over and say hi. Thank you for making such a great video! xx
I swear this video made me cry ! You are like so sweet and so caring and i really love your videos with mason ! Keep doing more ! Theres a few kids at my school that have mental and physical disabilities . I get so mad when people make fun of them . I have just always wanted to connect with people with disabilities and make them feel special ! And this video has taught me that i should !
Wow you two are like sibling goals, you love each other so much!
i litteraly crying right now.! youre such a great person! mason must be lucky!💕
I organized a small service project where I got other high school students from a club I am in to make Christmas decorations with a group of disabled adults whose family didn't take them home for the holidays. Mason is lucky to have such a wonderful family. Best wishes to you all❤️
Oh my gosh I cannot even explain how I'm always thinking the same thing about personality and how my brother affects mine and how my life is pretty normal!!! YOUR AN AMZING MAKEUP ARTIST!!!
Your a great sister
I help kids with disabilites at my temple prepare for their bar mitzvahs, volunteer at vista del mar, volunteer at friendship circle of los angeles, and once a week play games with the autistic kids at my school. Working with kids with disabilities is an amazing experience. You and your brother are truly amazing.
I can completely agree! Kids with disabilities change your life. My brother is Autistic, and we have 13 years apart from each other, and I am extremely good with disabled people now, because of him. I am a junior, and all the kids I my school that are disabled, are bullied horribly, and I put a stop to it when I can. I go down to the lunch room on my spare periods and have lunch with them and talk to them, and walk with them in the halls, they are all so sweet! You cannot every judge someone who looks different. You don't know their story! One boy was raped and held under water, and almost died, and just because he has a deformity, and is "slow" doesn't mean anything, you don't know why, so don't judge! :-) I love how awesome you are with your brother. It reminds me that I am not alone, and we will influence more people to be a little more kind! Keep being an incredible person! You inspire so many!
This is truly beautiful. You and Mason both have a heart of gold!❤️
I wish the best for mason and your family.my son has autism and we love him so much.we have learn so much from him..to be patient and kind to other people with disabilities.👍
THANK YOU for sharing your experiences.Thank you for explaining that you get so much out of being around differently baled people.I think as much or more than they get from you in most cases.
your brother is so sweet! disabled people are always so kind :)
I totally agree with you on saying that having someone with a disability in your family teaches you patience and it definitely teaches you so much more! I couldn't think about a life without my brother, who is disabled. He has autism and the so-called Savant syndrome which means that his abilities are far in excess of what we would call normal. He's extremely good at maths and technology and this makes me so proud!
The only sad thing about this is that he can't talk, that's why he uses a computer where he can type in with symbols what he wants to say.
keep being happy Mason even though you have disabilaties your a very nice man . keep up the good work Gwenny!!!!
my brother and his wife work at a home with people with disabilities and they are like my best friends and im learning asl for helping deaf kids :)
My younger brother has down syndrome. And it definitely changed me. I was the only child for 12 years, and after he was born everything changed. I love him to bits and I don't know what I would do if it weren't for him to put a smile on my face. He is currently 4 but obviously looks 3. He is amazing and thank you for showing me again how great our siblings are.
i love your video i know the feeling i also grew up with a brother with disability mine is younger but i like your video it get the word out that special needs kids with siblings are great!
my cousin has down syndrome and shes about 6 or 7 years older than me and shes basically a sister to me. Shes taught me so many things like patience,love,and compassion. I dont always get to see her or spend time with her because we live in different states but when i do, we always make the most of it :)
Awww mason is so adorable I just love to help disable children and adults they are special in there own way so what I'm saying to you is your very lucky to have him in your life he such a blessing to your family
You are such a beautiful person inside and out, and Mason is sooo lucky to have you as a sister!
I have a disabled sister and it can be hard but it's truly inspiring :)
You inspire me so much, gwenny. You and mason are so sweet, and truly an inspiration just to be a more happy and better person. Thank you for making this video! It was amazing :) love you guys!
I have an autistic brother and you hit the nail on the head in this video!!! I applaud you!!! You are an amazing wonderful person! You are smart beautiful and the nicest person ever! Your such a awesome sister!!
U are the most sweet and loving person. God bless you and your brother he is a Gods gift!
My best friend has a brother with autism. He has the biggest smile on his face every time I see him and he is a sweet person. I'm not a very patient person and this video has inspired me to pay attention and be patient! I love this video so much!❤️
I just wanted to say, I really appreciate that you're sharing your experiences with your brother with the rest of the world :) I have an older brother with Down Syndrome as well. He's just a year older than me (I'm 23 and he's 24), so we did everything together growing up. At one point I was his translator for my parents because I could understand the things he said and they couldn't, haha. I agree with a lot of the things you said in the video - I feel like my brother has made me a much better person as well, and I couldn't imagine life without him or any other way :) You are such a sweet sister; I watched a few of your other videos and I love that you include him and you want to study speech pathology. I just graduated from college and although I didn't study anything related to special needs, it's something super important to me and one of those things that will just be a constant in my life. It's hard to explain just how much we love/respect/look up to our brothers, but I think you did a pretty good job in this video! Kudos to you and I hope the best for you and Mason!
P.S.: My brother also loves singing and dancing - I have a feeling he and Mason would get along!
She is such a good sister she is sooooo nice to him
You are an AWESOME sister!
This is such an inspirational video just bc he might look different doesn't change a thing you must be the best sister to have in his life
I have 4 younger siblings with Down Syndrome and I agree with everything you said in this video. I absolutely adore your channel, you and Mason! You are both wonderful.
This was the best TH-cam video I have ever seen in my life. I watch your channel because of these reasons and you are such a sweet person and you care so much for him and he is the cutest person and you guys are soo adorable !!
My brother has autism and cerebral palsy too and I can relate to nearly all of the things you said. When people ask me what it is like to have a brother who is disabled I never know what to say because I have never known any different. I really liked this video so thanks for posting it.
GWENNY
MASON IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE A SWEET COMPASSIONATE ARTICULATE AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS LITTLE SISTER LIKE YOU!!! I KNOW YOU CAN AND OFTEN HAVE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN YOU TWO UNLIKE ANY OTHER THERAPY ... AND THATS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE....
KUDOS FOR YOU......& GOD BLESS!!
i hope Mason is doing okay! get well soon Mason! :)
I agree with you so much, my little sister is down syndrome too and I couldn't imagine my life not being this way because its amazing having a special angel in our family. I love how you brong him in to your videos because its probabaly making him more confident and its just amazing I respect you so much, everytging you said i totally 100% agree with you, people with a disibility especially down syndrome have a heart of gold and it is just a blessing having them in our lives. 💜
having a brother like him must be amazing people with syndrome show u a lot he is so cute and people with syndrome are not different my opinion I like people with syndrome more than people with not because they are so calm, and loving and sharing !! This video inspired me so much I wish I had a sibling like him because they are amazing! Ily and mason so much
In my class we have any special kids. They're amazing ! I love them and im kind to them
Mason is so helpful and and I like when he's in the videos is cool
I don't have a sibling with a disability but I work with them at my school and they are the best. They are so kind and have pure hearts. I work with a girl with down syndrome and she is super funny and kind. Working with them at school has made me want to be a special needs teacher. So next school year I Will being going to college for that. People with disability can really make a difference in people's lives. They are the best.
I have a brother with a disability and I love ur positive attitude thank you for being u ur so wonderful tell him I said he's an awesome dude
My little brother is 9 and he has ADHD. ADHD generally have problems paying attention or concentrating. They can't seem to follow directions and are easily bored or frustrated with tasks. They also tend to move constantly and are impulsive, not stopping to think before they act. These behaviors are generally common in children. But they occur more often than usual and are more severe in a child with ADHD.
everyone can learn from your brother! So inspiring you are such a nice and lovley person!
You are such a beautiful human being, inside and out.
Ily soo much I have an older brother who is handicapped and I love him with all my heart so I know how you feel I and I also think the same thing when someone says that they are sorry that he is handicapped and u just love how you include him in your videos you are my idol
I help kids with special needs play soccer on the weekends, and im so happy i did its so fun to talk to them and spend time with them 😃
