This is great but the claim that he is the only restaurant owner with Down’s Syndrome in the world is a stretch.

Watch the video. Mom simply says she has researched it, and can’t find another, but hopes there will be lots of them.

Sadly, babies with down syndrome are one of the biggest targets of the abortion industry after poor minorities.

My wife is nearing 40, and we are trying for our first child. Her age does concern me knowing that Down’s Syndrome is more prevalent in mothers over 40, but seeing this video helps settle my mind a little knowing that Down’s Syndrome is not something to fear but something to understand.

When I was younger, I sw the kids all over the place. Now, it is rare to see a child with Downs Syndrome. Sometimes I wonder if the Nazis won WWII and the Commies won the Cold War.

Very impressive! Especially when Gordon Ramsey can find at least 25 fully functional people each season who are utterly incapable of this.

Best of luck with your family planning. It is reassuring to see that you won’t follow the same path as others have....

I’ve worked with Down’s Syndrome children through volunteer organizations and even as far as back as Cub Scouts. They’ve always struck me as inquisitive and lively. I’ve never understood the stigma.

I wonder if this young man used a program funded through Rehabilitation Services. The program provides, Someone to help the prospective owner draw up a business plan, a job coach ( a person to help with all the business details such as math, taxes, licensing etc for 18 months or more.) It may include a long term paid “helper” through the local developmental delay center to continue helping with the business details including hiring and firing employees. It may include some start up expenses and provide other needed monies. It is a very interesting program.
