    inspired. Thank you Aaron and family! You all seem like incredible
    people, especially Aaron! And congrats on the blackbelt, that’s awesome…

  4. Aaron and family, thank you SOOOOO very much for sharing your story. My
    son is 4, and was diagnosed late with WS, and I must say that seeing you
    all gives me hope for the future. I hope to meet you sometime — perhaps
    at the WS Conference this year.

    flavor of chocolate imo!

  6. What a fanastic video. Thank you for letting into your life and sharing
    your struggles/benefits about William’s Syndrome. It is much appreciated!

  7. That comparison has been made before. I read a fascinating article
    exploring a spectrum of sorts placing Autism on one hand and Williams
    Syndrome on the other. Wish I could remember the source.

  8. I love your video…Your brother looks great… Does he drive? I know your
    mom says he lives with them, can I ask why she thinks he will never live
    independantly? My daughter has williams ans is 5…just wondering?

    miserable assholes that hate everybody?

    me understand this disease so well!!! He seems to be truly a blessing to
    the family!!! Wishing him the best in the future- its amazing to see how

  13. Proud to say I know Senseis Kate and Aaron (he has, in fact, earned the
    Black Belt he was preparing for in the vid) and their mom Shihan Lynn (and
    most of her other kids too) and they are probably the closest, most loving
    family I’ve ever known. It has been an honor to be part of their karate
    family for the last 10 years and I love them all. Keep on truckin, Aaron!

  14. This is such a sweet video! I love it and Im inspired by it even though I
