Wow.
This is a challenging channel to watch.
I have a cousin with Down's Syndrome, and I find it really hard to interact with him.
He's really lively, has a real sense of humour and loves being around people. But I just...can't understand what he's saying, and I feel so shit about it.
I want to be able to treat him like a normal human being, but when I can't actually respond to what he says, and have to keep saying "sorry, could you say that again?" I feel like I'm probably making him feel worse.
Hooray for video games.

I know a couple of folk with Down's and they're pretty easy going, rather than making him feel worse he more likely thinks you're a bit of an idiot... which is better right?
Stick with it, you'll get a better understanding of what he's saying. Worth doing and you obviously want to.

Discovered this channel last year and ended up watching dozens of the videos.
Very humbling stuff.

I found it quite recently, and have been watching them all during lockdown. It's cheered me up quite a bit; it puts things in a perspective. Some of the characters he's interviewed are fantastic.
I think it's educational too. I feel more confident and less awkward about interacting with disabled people now.
BTW, "Squirmy and Grubs" is good too. That one is more of a vlog style.

Aww crap
I had to watch that because of the comments you guys have made, and I've got something stuck in my eye now.
