Very proud of you Zachary! Mom, you have done a wonderful job in raising him well and independent.
Thank you for watching!
Zachary is a tribute to you Mum and to himself. Please tell him from me that I had so much happiness watching him in this video as he proves to everyone that he can do anything he sets out to do in life. Zachary, you're such a smart, kind, determined young man. Also very handsome... Lots of love to you and your Mum ❤❤❤xxx
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I'll be sure Zachary sees your kind words. 😊
@judyowen8668 Thank you so much for replying. You are an amazing mum who has raised an amazing son ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💕 💖
What an inspirational story and a tribute to the loving relationship between a Mom and son and all that cross his path! Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you Cheryl!! 🤗
I've worked with special needs kids my whole life. So many parents cry at their kids IEP meetings. They say, "The doctors told us he'd be a vegetable". "The doctor said he'd never tell time. " "Put him in an institution and never think of him again." Don't do it! A lot of us have kids who are challenged and yes, it's hard. But don't believe the worst thing you hear. It's a beautiful journey
Yes! Nobody really knows though, so why not build our children up and enjoy watching them soar! 😊
As a Dad with a Son on the autism spectrum (and me on it, as well with Aspergers) this is a warm and wonderful story!
Thank you for watching!
You have done a wonderful job of raising him he is such a cutie.😊
Thank you!!!
Zachary and his mom are both inspirations! It took a lot of courage for mom to push him out of the nest and make him go be on his own. But look at how amazing and fulfilled his life has become. He was a job, classes, responsibilities, and a sense of purpose that we all need. We should all go around with a positive can-do attitude like Zachary has, and be thankful that the world has changed for people with disabilities.
Great comments! Glad the video resonated with you and thank you for watching!
What a nice kiddo 😊
Thank you! I agree! 😊
We helped our kids become independent. Its empowering for them.
It's a wonderful thing to witness isn't it?! Thank you for watching!
Way to go Zach. You are a really great inspiration to all!
Thank you for watching! I agree! 😊
WOW❤ This makes me so sad for all people in the past(as recently as 80's and 70's and way back) who had Down and who were just not expected to understand much or to do much, how little effort was done to help them grow into independent lives. I guess we just didn't understand much about Down back then. CZcams has done so much good for people with Down; we now know so much more about them, than we knew before people started to post videos like this one! If anyone I know is expecting a baby with Down; THIS is the video I would ask them, demand them, to watch!! Much love from Finland🇫🇮
This is exactly what I was hoping for in this video. I thank you for the thoughtful comment and hope this can give another family a vision for something better for their children. I'm so extremely proud of my son!
Keep it going Zach! Utmost respect for how much you’re accomplishing and props to your amazing mom!
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Awesome!!! So nice to see something good and positive in the world. God Bless you Zachary and mom 💕🥰🙏

Thank you for watching!
Amazing young man. What an inspiration to all of us to live our best lives! You go, Zach!
Thank you ❤️
I was wondering how this guy "lived on his own". Of course, he has a roommate, thank goodness. Most people, like everyone, stays home after they turn 18, except this guy, oh, and me.
I couldn’t wait to park my car and leave. I’d live in my car. And did for awhile. It was worth it
Yeah. He doesnt live alone. He just doesnt live with his parent. He is doing great. But he is in unofficial supported accommodation. His friend is just doing it for free.
❤😊
Just curious, disability or not. Sixteen is a very young age to ask them to move out and be on their own, is it not? I was still living at home when I was in University.
Yes 16 is too young. He and his roommate moved in together when they were 18 and starting their post-secondary schooling. They live close by, but in their own place. Thank you for watching and commenting. 😊
❤
♥️
Zachary go babe 💪💪💪💪😂😂😂😄love you sweetheart 🫂🫂🫂
Wait a sec I seen that guy before
Wait! What?!?!?! 🤗
Wait a second, I know these people😊
Congratulations ❤🎉
@@bozenagasior1846 ♥️

His parents are close by. We know he's a lot more independent now than anyone imagined and we'll cross that next bridge as a family when we get there. Thank you for watching! 😊
