Excellent clip. I confess that I find myself unintentionally staring at people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities. I see them, get lost in a thought and/or prayer, and 10 seconds later realize that I've been rudely staring at them the entire time. It's not malicious -- it's sympathetic/empathetic -- and I feel embarrassed for staring. This clip was wonderfully understanding of those of us who stare "for the right reasons" (if you'll forgive such an expression).
KIDS was formed for the purpose of gathering families who have chldren with Down syndrome and walking together in the annual March for Life in D.C. Our purpose is to raise awareness about the tragically high abortion rate of babies prenatally diagnosed with Down sydnrome. We wish also to proclaim the joys our special children bring to us.
`Welcome to KIDS!

KIDS families get together and walk as a group in the annual March for Life in D.C. in January. We will keep you posted of our plans for the 2014 March for Life at this blog.
What an excellent video. It is such good advice for anyone to not be defensive and assume the worst in people. Thanks for sharing that!
