The Lucky Few

183. Following the Lead of Self-Advocates (ft. Matthew Schwab)


Listen Later

Matthew Schwab is a 25 year old man with Down syndrome who is absolutely slaying it at life. There’s no better way to describe him! Since we last chatted with him in 2020, Matthew has moved into an apartment with his brother and started his own podcast! He’s officially entered the world of “adulting” where there’s no one around to remind you to do your chores! Today we’re chatting about the highs and lows of living away from home, the future of Matthew’s relationship (and why the law makes it SO difficult for couples with DS to get married), and what we think of the phrase “nothing about us without us.”

Friends, you’re going to love this episode! And if you want more behind the scenes of Matthew’s life, you can check out Matthew Schwab Speaks The Podcast: Thriving with Down Syndrome on anchor and spotify!
