Different Isn't Bad, It's Just Different.

Lots Of People With Little Kids Or Babies With Down Syndrome Tell Me They Aren't Afraid Of The Future For Their Child Because Of What I Am Doing To Help People Understand It Better.

I've Had Tons Of Bullies Who Would Call Me Retarded, Even On My Facebook Page. It's Sad And It Really Hurts. I Want To Tell People Not To Use The Word. Don't Say Your Friend's Retarded When They Do Something Foolish. If You Have A Disability, Keep Working Hard. Whatever It Takes, Do It, And Don't Be Mean To People.

I Was Recently Appointed By President Obama To The President's Committee For People With Intellectual Disabilities. I Am So Excited That The President Trusts Me To Advise Him On Things That Are Important To People With Disabilities!

A Long Time Ago When I Was Very Little, I Dreamed About Being On Stage. Some People Told Me I Would Never Be Able To Do It, So I Only Paid Attention To Those Who Told Me That I Could.

Like So Many Other Kids With Special Needs, I Have Been Bullied. Kids In Elementary School Made Me Eat Sand, And Those Same Boys Would Walk Behind Me, Teasing Me. Finally I Had Enough, And I Told Them To Grow Up.
