Video with 29 notes

Clip that I showed my roommate (that I’ve watched at least a dozen times) that sparked this conversation.  I was trying to explain why my job is a load of fun and not at all depressing like most people think.  I can’t remember where I’ve seen more of Jon’s story, but somewhere (PBS?) the family explains that he’s always in his underwear because he absolutely hates pants (in other words they aren’t being neglectful).  I especially LOVE his modified sign language.
