Puerto Rican couple with Down syndrome on life without limits

[hollydolly]

My goodness this young couple would put all those people who are healthy but too lazy to work...to shame...

What a wonderful inspirational story...

 

[Kika]

That really is a wonderful story. There is no limit to what they will accomplish because they WANT to in spite of their syndrome.
I totally agree with your summation of the healthy but lazy people.

 

[oldman]

Very inspiring.

They are extraordinarily high functioning and don't really have the physical aspects of Downs. In other words, most unusual.

My buddy's Aunt Martha was released from a mental hospital after 30 years. Aunt Martha had obvious "issues". She bought a TV on time. It was $7/month. She couldn't understand "7", she knew she had to have two $1, and one $5. She had no idea one bill was worth more than the other. He house was so clean, you could do surgery on her floor. I felt like a slob when I visited her. I had to admire her, she had so little going for her, and she had it together.

There are a couple of people working at our local Walmart, for several years now, who have "Downs". They keep the carts cleaned and positioned and help with stocking the shelves. They are very friendly and hard working...in spite of their condition.

However, it's pretty common to be inline in the checkout at a grocery store, and see the person ahead looking fit and healthy, and paying for their groceries with a SNAP card.

Not all disabilities are apparent.

Not all disabilities are apparent.

I was going to say that, but you said it first.

Also, to @DonM- I know specifics vary from state to state (another example of states having too many 'rights'), but all I've known of require people who aren't classified as disabled and aren't elderly to WORK in order to obtain SNAP benefits.

I haven't any idea what a SNAP card is...

Food stamps.
