Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

Well done, Portia
Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

People are so judgemental or anyone with a disablity and they assume you lack a degree
Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

A Day Service?
Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

You should be a model, Portia
Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

They just use you for a while or a few weeks, but you don't get asked back and they not tell you why, but acuse you of having conditions you DON'T have or you simply don't know because you are adopted
Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

We will get back to you? Well they never do, once they find out you have any disability even an Acquired one
Comment from : @AnnetteMurphyger

Is it good to get a job with a learning disability? What if your unable to socialize and rely on your family to prompt you to do other things Would she struggle with running a home afterward? I feel I would planning a day is impossible for me Sorry ranting a bit
Comment from : @nahtannomlleb

She has a problem with speech inability to pronounce her words clearly
Comment from : @RodreneLiverpool

Comment from : @RodreneLiverpool

Comment from : @RodreneLiverpool

For godsakes, someone give this girl job already! Give her a chance! I really hope she was able to find a job she liked and was able to find her groove after all these years
Comment from : @WhatsDaveUpTo

Comment from : @kevinstanula

She's a better worker than me
Comment from : @fergaoneill5323

Comment from : @kalyasaify

i like portia she is beautiful inside and out she may be missing a chromosone but she is intellgent and caoable of working it just takes her longer i am on the autism spectrum i had an iep in high school for math and science i needed extra time on tests portia should become a model or a fashion designer God bless you Portia and your supportive family
Comment from : @courtneyellis-hz6er

Why doesn’t she actually try modeling, instead of fooling around trying to get regular jobs that are hard for her? Modeling would be perfect - all you do is try on clothes and her learning disability wouldn’t matter And she’s gorgeous!

I have ADHD and autism and an intellectual disability I have work as a cleaner for years Its best to do a easy job

日本語字幕をありがとう。br僕も知的障害を持っています。brPortiaが現在幸せな生活を送ってることを願う。
Comment from : @tamtam1199

I went to school with Portia she was always so lovely
Comment from : @paigeharrismith2019

Does she have a learning disability or an intellectual disability A learning disability is not an intellectual disability A person with a learning disability can actually have an above average intelligence and be gifted An example of a learning disability is dyslexia
Comment from : @77tubuck

I just watched this in 2024 and was utterly charmed by Portia and her caring family Does anyone know what she is doing now?
Comment from : @paulstephenson7503

sorry
Comment from : @HopeEndoors

oh dear
Comment from : @HopeEndoors

HR is a den of toxic women most of the time, in my experience at least I accept responsibility for how I’m presenting myself However, I will never expect a den of toxic women at HR who enjoy praying on people’s weaknesses and or personal business to Invest just as much time into seeing the potential in a human being, from the inside out
Comment from : @anbublackops3394

Such an amazing person I wish her all the best in life
Comment from : @simonconnah6074

Do not reject this beautiful person

I have been picked on people don't understand me I know what you have been through
Comment from : @jamesanderson8851

I suffer from Autism you are a beautiful girl hope you succeed in whatever you want to do
Comment from : @jamesanderson8851

As a blind person, it's hard for most blind people to find a job, as most companies refuse to make things accessible for us!

Comment from : @tinvo9376

Comment from : @samkin9667

So very pretty I hope she found her place in this world I had polio and I had a hard time finding a job I work for Goodwill for a week until I found out what they were paying me when I got out of high school At 25 somebody at a government shipyard went above HRO’s head and hired disabled people I work my way up and learn how to read radiation dosimeters instead of just handing them out I became a physical science technician and I’m retired now, and I met a fire chief there and he retired we would’ve been married 27 years but he died five years ago Let me tell you have to have a job to feel good about yourself
Comment from : @burly636

Im in usa I cant get a job im like portia im 30
Comment from : @MRMETT28

I was put in an experienced based career program in high school and it saved my life I could have been worse off than better off but i still have difficulties due to my past issues not many people can get accurately right
Comment from : @KRmedfndllcARCwof81213

It's ok cause I have learned disabilities speech 💬 language disorder I have trouble with reading with words I have trouble with jobs to cause I can't run cash register 😔
Comment from : @Cutie-loves-cupcake

I wouldn't have the patience for someone like that working in shop if I asked about something and they didn't know I would find it annoying
Comment from : @BonnieLong-f6q

At the day centre she seems like she don't want to be there and she better than the other kids
Comment from : @BonnieLong-f6q

They don't want to hire disabled people
Comment from : @DonaldHarrington-vl7zq

I got 8 bullets still in my back and drifting bone fragments from being shot by 22 long rifle bullets as well as 5 separate back fractures a imploded rib age from being raped by both adopted brothers and foster parents when I was 1 I survived multiple heart attacks from the medications they tried killing me with responsible for 564 other child deaths america seems like nazi germany to me after everything I've survived
Comment from : @DonaldHarrington-vl7zq

The last 4 jobs I had they attacked me at work I was paralyzed for over a week after the last time I got attacked at work by another employee at Arizona family restaurant des found reason to believe there was harassment and descrimination in the workplace I got unemployment after being paralyzed for over a week and my injury never got better I never got a settlement only got temporary unemployment for another perminant injury
Comment from : @DonaldHarrington-vl7zq

They don't see me for me they only see what others forced me to do in my past and that prevents me from having any type of healthy future
Comment from : @DonaldHarrington-vl7zq

I can only work part time because of my disabilities they really expect people to be homeless the rest of their lives after several injuries
Comment from : @DonaldHarrington-vl7zq

Wow I know how she felt no one wants to hire her just because she has a learning disability I went through this it sucks when you do not get hired from a job because you have a learning disability and just because your not as fast as other co workers that are normal and dont have learning disabilities ok I got yelled at work because I am not fast as other co workers or because I put pizzas in wrong boxes ok and was not my fault I keep on trying even with a learning disability
Comment from : @FeliciaEncinas

😮 she is tall and she could be a model 😍 She is really beautiful I think she should try it out When I saw her this was my initial thoughts like most people on his forum ^_^
Comment from : @kirap4476

I'd love to see a follow up on Portias journeybrGreat video, really enjoyed that, just a shame issues like this in society take so friggin long to change
Comment from : @jamesfranklyn8547

After that first one, mom seemed more upset than Portia and as a father of an autistic 18 year old who's articulating skills are very poor I want the best for him and for him to get out and be around community and not be like I was by choice and self isolated due to my anxiety Parents want the best for their kids
Comment from : @Mandalor_the_Disciple

My 11yo son has several conditions that affect him both physically and mentally/intellectuallythat is to say Portia is more able all around This topic/issue is something I think about a lot, but seeing this regardless was still incredibly touching and reaffirms the fact that I'll never give up pushing my little boy to as far as he can make it❤️
Comment from : @kevinvallejo2382

Portia is amazing as she cont to seek a job Her mom is very supportive Even without a disability looking for work, I did volunteer work and even went door to door meeting neighbors and letting others know I was available to work and had skills It's like networking ♥️, thankful to Jesus for his provision ♥️
Comment from : @tinachadwick6712

On the cash register she just needs like a reminder list or sop in front of her Which is fine cause corporate high paid jobs do this plentybrbrI also think an office job would be better Filing answering phones n data entry maybe be easier
Comment from : @mrsjayellelovesyou

If our gov was smart, theyd offer tax credits for hiring disabled persons which would be a win win Its helps them earn a wage and offset gov funding for disability Not saying in a bad way but folks do want to work n disabilities don't mean theyd be less qualified
Comment from : @mrsjayellelovesyou

Yep, how it is with someone with autism right here So glad I did manage to find a job after years She should also be referred to a job coach or employment specialist who'd do what mom did at 3:14 I got help building my resume and building my interviewing skills thanks to mine She also sent me jobs that'd fit with me, and I applied We were gonna maybe see about going the route mom did with her next possibly till I got a job
Comment from : @theinudemon

This is so much like my son with cri du chat He didn't want to do the transition program after high school, he just wanted to get a job Luckily we have a family friend who employed him part time He is now working with a program to try and get more hours and responsibility there It's so difficult
Comment from : @songsofpeace9968

Unfortunately as our society progresses in the modern age, there are less and less and less jobs available for people with low IQs Most of the things that they can do are done by automation now, and often if not usually done better and more efficiently by the automation So most of the jobs that are given to people like Portia are at a loss of some sort, to the company, and wind up being either total or at least partial charity cases Portia has got the worst of both worlds; high functioning ID people who also "look" normal So she's smart enough to realize everything she's missing out on in life, but not smart enough to lead the life of wife, mother, girlfriend, flatmate, driver, uni student, etc It's way worse IMO to be like her, rather than someone with an IQ of 55, down syndrome, etc
Comment from : @sugar-free-2centz

Keep pushing Portia, we are routing for you
Comment from : @thegospelindex

10:46 The words of ignorant people
Comment from : @Da1Dez

I am intellectually impaired and learn exactly like Portia, but am a complex thinker I tend to come off as high IQ and no one believes there's actually a fucking problem
Comment from : @isabellemyzer1807

She's lucky to have such dedicated and supportive parents
Comment from : @Pulsedriver93

I think Portia is destined to something bigger She is beautiful and has amazing charisma
Comment from : @raya9283

How is Portia doing in 2023????
Comment from : @stevec1972ad

she deserves it What a lucky place to have her as an employee
Comment from : @pamelawayne4114

7 years later: Did Portia get a job?
Comment from : @jenniferstone2975

People who are high functioning are very sensitive people because they have the right to get married, become parents, work full time, go to college, drive a car, and do what normal people can dobrbrThere just like black people very sensitive people
Comment from : @josephruggiero4966

Any update on her?My heart just melted hearing about her storybecause i'm in the same boat,i understand all of her pain and the only thing i can do is to send a virtual hug to her! :)
Comment from : @KissofDeath63

Bruh i'm not simping but portia could be a model! I'm borderline my self🤗
Comment from : @Crunchyplum

She's is beautiful 😊
Comment from : @Blkkpill

Great video being disabled myself sadly I know how hard it is to get work and be treated as an equal, keep on trying and don't give up
Comment from : @riversrussell6522

Awesome
Comment from : @riversrussell6522

I think being on the retail sales floor really wasn't a great fit for her because the only thing I notice about her disability is that she speaks very slowly It's tough to make a sale and keep a customer for anyone, but she'd be at a disadvantage there, and managers of those stores aren't going to hire someone just to put stock out The job she wound up getting looked like a much better fit I hope she's doing well today
Comment from : @machineofadream

I love people with IDD
Comment from : @TheGodisandtheGang

Disheartening to realize that having severe social anxiety is worse and more debilitating than having an actual intellectual disability 😭😭😭😭can't even get a job or leave my house
Comment from : @wallacesousuke1433

Such a pretty girl 😊 much love to you and your whanau ❤❤❤
Comment from : @keztukariri

Would love to know how it all went with you Portia! I know there are a few big chains out there hiring specifically people with a disability these days Probably govt subsidized but yeah I really hope it worked out girl ❤❤❤
Comment from : @keztukariri

DAMN portia is a baddy
Comment from : @daytona-x7b

God she is so beautiful 😮
Comment from : @GameBender0

I will find her a job if she's still unemployed (I think she's working already) please give me any contact information
Comment from : @vital11122

UK, please stop comflating intellectual disabilities with learning disabiliteis These are different things This is not acceptable when the literature has clearly distinguished the differences in them decades ago
Comment from : @maytheforcebewithyou2701

I have always suspected that I may have an intellectual disability, or I'm very slow in general This coupled with social anxiety has made me reluctant to get a job, but I'm trying to get anything So far I haven't heard back for the jobs I have applied to I'm thinking about applying to be a volunteer at a retail store, but I feel like I won't even be able to deal with that
Comment from : @swastipriya3058

We need social security for people like Portia
Comment from : @erwingunther2569

I feel her pain so much I struggle with a learning disability and a physical disability and no one gives u a chance it's so hard for people to understand we just need extra help and a opportunity It's a great challenge in this world Makes us totally loose hope I have so many amazing talents yet I never am able to use them because I cant seem to get threw interviews or tests I am a single mom on disability and wanting to work so much brI pray she gets a job I'm rooting for you sweetie Your not alone ❤
Comment from : @katrinamoxam4930
