A parent whose son Max was born with Down syndrome recalls a stranger telling them Max is 99% like them and 1% unknown. That conversation shifted how they saw their child and led them to build a career around helping the Down syndrome community.
My firstborn son Max, he's now 17. When he was born, he was diagnosed with Down syndrome. He was in the ICU and he got out of the ICU on my birthday, and that day a woman came up to me. She was part of like the Down syndrome awareness group, and she sat me down and she said, "I want you to know something. He's 99% you and 1% this other thing that you don't know anything about right now. He will be able to do whatever you teach him to do if you have the patience to teach him." Now, as I moved into my career, I aligned very quickly. And how can I make sure that whatever thing I'm doing to make money aligns with my ability to help my people?
