I used to work at a convenience store by a special needs home and my favorite customers were the Downs Syndrome guys who would come in. One would tell me every day that it was his birthday so I'd always give him a free fountain drink and he'd giggle like a mad scientist who got away with arson😂
I knew a woman with downs that I saw pretty almost every day when I was in college. Every time she'd tell me it was gonna rain today. And it never did. Part of me wished it would've at least once so I could tell her she was right but it never happened lol
My Brother with autism he's very selective of who he talks to. He's very knowledgeable about cars and motorcycles so if you don't know any of those topics good luck talking to him.
It’s weird cause my sister is autistic and she is the most tenacious and driven individual in my family. Don’t believe me? Look her up, ava. Same last name. She is an amazing chef and the most dedicated person I ever met. She isn’t like a cat, she’s like a lion, I can’t wait for the world to give her a chance and for her to show everybody exactly what she’s got, which is EVERYTHING.
I have described myself as a cat countless times 😭😭 Though i think its the fault of people misreading my body language why they arent sure if i like them or not LOL.
This is a genius bit! Plus, I think these kinds of jokes actually reduce the stigma around people with those conditions by joking about them, like you would with anybody
Absolutely right. I certainly appreciate it, and I'm using it in the future. Because I actually am high-functioning autistic so I have a little bit of a hard time articulating how I feel or experience things. I think this may be the best description I've heard yet 🤣🤣
as a parent of two kiddos with autism... I spit out my coffee 😂 so much like cats... one thinks they're the queen of the house the other just glares at you while on his tablet 😂 ❤ it's okay to laugh
@@DiamondEyeMcGeeI'm telling ye we could make a fucking national sport out of being MIA, I never even considered being abroad for years at a time with no contact was weird till an american pointed it out to me Cause with people back home you just sort of pick up again like both happened
100% spot on, at least when it comes to the autism. I have 4 cats and my son is non verbal autistic. It is most definitely like herding cats with him sometimes
It's humor. If you can find it it the worst of life's situations,it makes living them a little easier. Like a pressure cooker,you gotta get some release.
My brother is autistic. He is far from the worst of life's situations. He's one of the best people I know and the world's a little better for having him in it
I think Louis and Chappelle beat him out but theyve been doing it for thirty years, Shane's on like year 12 and he just start3d headlining in the last three. In his generation I think he's tied with Normand and the Shaman
This is fucking hilarious, I definitely feel like that’s how I come off to people at first, and having worked with many Down syndrome kids, they are just as lovable and loyal as dogs. Shane Gillis is a fucking gem
As someone who has been around a few Down Syndrome kids, they really be so open and optimistic about almost everything. I still have a piece of paper at my house a random DS kid gave it to me at the bus, telling me it's both an invitation and a gift. ❤
"Basically I'm exactly like a cat." 😂😂😂 In those terms it makes it easier for people who aren't familiar with autism to wrap their minds around it. The easiest way to get people to jnderstand the unknown is to compare it to something they're familiar with.
Omg I’m roaring! Our son who has Downs literally waits with the dog at the door when dad pulls up and then go straight for a bike ride around the neighborhood. No lie!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
It’s honestly the best comedic whole hearted way of describing the interactions you have, I have two brothers with autism and they are justtttt like cats 🐈 lmfao put some food out and check if they ate it! They have grown to be open but honestly it’s up to you to be involved/forward with understanding their lives and feelings. Please let me me emphasize“THEIR” interests. If you never bond with them on what they are into/probably obsessed with you will never understand them as a person. I believe relationships are about patience and accountability, but hearing/listening/consideration is most important! Love is patient and kind it does not envy nor boast. Everyone deserves love especially those who give it in all ways without even understanding its full weight, they just have integrity to the highest degree! They deserve to be protected and are respected members of our community/society that people take for granted!
AuDHD, can confirm. • We only talk a lot if we like you. • We will come in for snuggles but will bite you if you move wrong. • That object was knocked down for science. • If you're our person, your face is our space.
The analogy is perfect, I have autism and It's something I'm aware of to an extent, but constantly hear from people. "I can't get a read on you, Do you not like people, I'm not bothering you am I you're just really quiet." I've been around people with down syndrome and they are completely hyped at all moments, sometimes a bit over hyped but yea they are enjoying every moment.
There jokes aren't even close to the same. Ron talks about his son Shane talks about the group of kids he coached in the special Olympics.. You're stating a fale narrative.
First off. Sheila, this is comedy. Second, he's not coming from an ignorant standpoint. He has a close family member with down syndrome, and his wife works closely with the disabled community. This is such a positive light as far as a joke could go. I do t know what your problem is. It's important to treat them like everyone else anf joke with them. They get uncomfortable if you try to baby them
I have an autistic son. I agree with the analogy. Our boy is almost 30. Everything is always on his terms. More often than not. He could care less if your around. Lol. My friends with downs kiddos are so excited to see us. I love it!!!
I used to have a cousin who had Down syndrome and she loved Mexican wrestling. She would be so excited to show us her collections and stuff it was hella fun.
I went to kindergarten with a kid who has down syndrome. He lived in the same neighborhood as me and even though we never hung out after that 1 year together when we were 5, he would stop and say hi every time he saw me, EVERY. TIME. Man I love that guy
I have autism and used to be in my schools sped program and i can relate so much!! Down syndrome kids are actually really fun, they LOVE candy and pepsi

I love Shane, he always speaks from personal experience on these topics
I'm so glad he finds himself funny.
Shane coached a basketball team at the special olympics for 4 years. He is not trying to be disrespectful and its a funny joke.
100% and objectively speaking it’s 10,000% true
@cactusmalone Theo Von beat Down Syndrome, and he doesn't even know enough about it to make jokes like this.
Thanks tips 😂
You cab be funny and disrespectful at the same time. It's not up to you to decide.
@@Dog_gone_it yeah, we know, but you get over it because you know it's just a comedian, and not to take it personally

People with Down syndrome are some of the nicest people I’ve met.
Hand down! Genuine people!
What choice do they---nevermind
For sure…Angels
Shane Gills is the nicest I’ve met.
There's always sincere, and almost always positive at any given moment. Lovely people.
this is why Shane Gillis is goated. there's nothing tryhard about his comedy and its always just some type of funny/keen observation about life
He’s goated… but he’s also bloated 🐋
And it's never mean spirited, he just observes the reality and compares and contrasts the differences.
goated? as in greatest of all time? You really need to watch more stand-up
@@freethinker233 People use "goat" and "goated" more liberally these days, it doesn't mean they literally mean he's the greatest of all time.

He himself has Down syndrome
Exactly what I thought when I clicked it 😂
Nah that's just the downs hitting their peak 😂
When he stares off you can tell he’s fighting hard against Down syndrome
This man is a national treasure. And an mde fan 😂
That's a great analogy 👏👏👏
I’ve always wanted a black Down syndrome kid but I live in an apartment at the moment. He’d deserve a yard to play in

My primary method is purposely smelling bad so nobody wants to come near me in the first place
