  2. 5:25 Would n’t that be great for the whole world to be retarted? wtf? Those
    kids seem very nice,but making statements like that is stupid.

  4. 4:22… I do find its a little insensitive to say “A NORMAL 2 YEAR OLD”.
    Inferring that the people with Williams syndrome are anything but
    “normal”…

  9. I am starting to think that the “normal” healthy human is the one who have
    a deformed genome. with all the hatred, wars and wickedness of this world.

  10. That little girl saying how much she wants to help people was so lovely. I
    know that William’s Syndrome isn’t all about friendliness (for one thing
    there are quite a few physical illnesses that go along with it), but at
    least along with the bad stuff they have that kind of empathy and kindness.

  13. Where is the Totally love this video option? They just fill your heart with
    warmth. May no one even harm them

  17. It is sad that you have these trolls that just want to hate on these kids.
    Go back to your bridge trolls and let those of us who love people with WBS
    love them for who they are and for what they can bring to this cruel
    world. 

  19. I have autism i find it kinda weird but i did had interest to look this up
    wow if i were to switch brains wow whole different story anyway
    interactions isn’t my cup of tea

  23. My sister Kara has William Syndrome as well!!!! She is really friendly and
    nice and would always turn your frown upside down!!!!!! 🙂

  24. The part where the woman does the test where she “hurts” her knee and the
    little boy tries to help is so cute.

  25. Well, in some cases. I have Asperger’s and I am the complete opposite:
    severe social anxiety, people make me irritable, I just want to be alone. I
    do love dogs though.

  27. These kids live the beat, empathise and care for other people naturally, a
    living example of how wonderful we all can be. 

  34. Back when I was in middle school, there was a kid in my Boy Scout troop who
    acted like the kids in this video, and had many of the same physical
    features. I always knew there was something… different… about him, but
    I never asked. All these years I have been curious to know, and I think it
    was William’s Syndrome. He was so much fun to be around, and everybody
    loved him. We would be sitting around the campfire and he would be singing
    and having fun, and then everyone else would be having fun too.

  36. Man, I wish everyone was like this. Sometimes going into town, just to buy
    something from the shop, ruins my day with the mean vibe. 

  37. Do these kids have difficulties at school; I mean, are they mentally
    challenged when it comes to cognitive activity?

  38. There this girl at my school her name is Juliet. She is very nice and loves
    to dance .. First I thought she was weird wasn’t used to someone Soo nice!
    So I ask her what she had & she said Williams.. So I looked it up.. & found
    out everybody with Williams are Soo nice! 

  39. So adorable! Wish we could all be this happy all the time. I’ve heard
    Williams Syndrome is essentially the “opposite” of autism–extreme
    extroversion as opposed to the inward looking nature of autistics. 

  42. Story on Williams Syndrome by Peter Overton of 60 Minutes Australia.
    Originally aired on August 8, 2004.

  43. I think our world would be a better place if people of less empathetic
    genes would learn from the vast amount of knowledge in the art of empathy
    that these people seem to possess, and if they would strive to function as
    well as these people do when it comes to things that have to do with other
    people. We wouldn’t be so quick to achieve what we want through criminality
    and meanness if we did.

  44. he was trying to show people that they are aware of their condition as for
    people to understand them better and show that they are not just living in
    their own world. also since they seem to be unaffected by the same kinds of
    things we are they are not bothered by the question. also it is not
    nessearly a disability, well at least to them and the people around them it
    seems to be a good thing. if you asked a famous sports player do you know
    that you are different i dont think it would offend them

  50. Oh yes, IQ scores do not reflect intelligence-raw power measurements of the
    brain using instruments are the only things to reliably do that.
