Living with Williams Syndrome, Anxiety, and OCD 

Anybody who wants to be Sofia's friend can connect with her at instagram.com/theteamsofia/ ! Sofia also requested that I ask everybody what you think her top three Taylor Swift songs are? She's really interested in hearing if you can guess correctly!

Sofia, if you are reading this, I just want you to know: I wish I had a friend like you.

Her emotional intelligence is so developed, and her ability to express herself is really special. I hope she finds the right people who can appreciate what she has to offer.

If a 56 year old crusty broken 30 year artillery veteran can have a hero...I just found mine in Sofia. She's incredibly Intelligent, compassionate, articulate , Empathetic and just a pure beautiful soul. Dont ever ever change Sofia. Don't you ever let this world dim your light.

She has what most people fear, (Honesty), that gives her power that she can't understand.

Sofia should have a podcast. She’s sooo wise and has such a great voice to listen to!

She seems like the easiest person to be friends with: better at communicating than most people I know.

I’m 73 years old and I’ve learned more from this spectacular person in 25 minutes than from many people I’ve known for over 25 years. Thank you, Sophie

I want the world to have more people like Sofia. Honest, vulnerable, self-reflective and kind. She's amazing.

I deeply appreciate this girls' existence in this world.

I feel like Sofia is a future person. Her level of emotional intelligence, compassion and vulnerability is what humanity is struggling so hard to reach.

I can't believe it's hard for her to make friends? What kind of people would not wanna have a person like Sofia as their friend!!! She's the sweetest person I've ever seen! She's the definition of a "good friend"

“Sophia” is the primordial and gnostic word for “Wisdom”; and she definitely embodies her name. She is remarkably articulate and self-aware, thank you for this vulnerable interaction. Blessings of increase and prosperity for Sophia and her family ✨🤲🏿

I love how no-nonsense and direct she is about telling people she loves them.

One of the most pure and genuinely beautiful personalities I've ever seen.

This young lady is incredible! She is by far wise well beyond her years it’s mind blowing.

I don't think I'd have ever guessed she had disabilities from hearing her talk had I not been told. Quite the opposite. She's incredibly articulate, sincere, and insightful. Much more so than the typical person.

Sofia: your name means "wisdom" and this is fitting because you are VERY wise. Thank you for sharing your story!

I’m 51 year old man and I wish i was half the person she is. Courage , strength. Beyond words. Incredible.

Her ability to express herself is absolutely amazing. She’s very emotional like myself and it seems she understands more about emotions than a lot of people. It’s nice to know someone out There is as emotional as myself. This girl deserves so many good things. The world today is just so evil. I really hope that she finds really good friends and people that except her.

I love Sofia's personality! She's real and down to earth. I would love having friends like Sofia. She's beautiful inside and out. And people could learn so much from her, especially on how to be a better person themselves.

shes literally the most genuine person I've ever seen, I hope one day she'll find a friendship equally as genuine.

She has the talent of becoming a poet. Her words are like poetries, genuine, touching, and very precise.

You are a beautiful well-spoken young lady. My special needs son watched your video and now says he has more confidence. The whole world is yours girl!! Go for everything you can dream!

Sophia you are proof that God is pure love. What a blessing to the world you are. I wish all the world loved like you do, and thank you so much for sharing some of your life with us. Your friend from Greentown Ohio, Robby.

Sofia's way of communicating is inspiring. She's so good at expressing herself

Its hard for her to make friends? What the heck. She is one of the most loveable people in this world.

Very well spoken, articulate, honest...I´m proud of you, keep on going!

Wow. i wish i was part of this family. i grew up in a household where emotions are frowned upon. no one appreciates each other and no one talks about feelings EVER. Sofia is a true inspiration! I love their vibe. I wish i could be Sofias friend :D

Wow when she said “I just need a true friendship, and I need to be loved.” That’s the most pure definition as to why we’re on this earth in the first place.

"Williams syndrome is caused by the loss (deletion ) of genetic material from a specific region of chromosome 7" Looking at her I'm convinced that human wickedness lives in that material, which she lacks. Such a beautiful and good person! 🥰

She is so articulate and sweet. Good people in the world will gravitate towards her in life.

Sofia is incredibly wise and just lovely in every way! I can’t imagine anyone NOT wanting to be her friend. 🙏💕✨

Sofia, I have a 2 year old daughter with Williams. If she turns out to be half the person you are I will be so proud. You are so well spoken, and so in touch with your feelings. I loved hearing your story.

She’s awesome! Unfortunately she may be too emotionally advanced compared to her peers. I hope her friendships thrive in her adulthood. She’s very mature 🙂

She has a Beautiful Soul. The world is a better place with people like her in it. Such an amazing intellect and contagious kindness. May God bless her.

She is so gorgeous with a heart of gold. Love hearing her talk and would be friends with her in a heart beat 🙏✨️

If I were her sister and she spoke to me so honestly and loving, she'd have me crying every day.

She possesses genuine beauty and intelligence beyond her years.

Sofia's love for others is so beautiful. Being a teen is rough, but I know she will find people one day that truly appreciate her warmth and depth. ❤

There’s nothing wrong with her at all. She’s quite special. ❤

I can’t imagine anyone NOT wanting to be your friend, Sofia. You are a very intuitive, eloquent, well-spoken, smart, funny, sweet, charismatic, and gorgeous young woman! You will do great things in your life!

This kid is so cool. Being a teenager sucks and I think her tendency toward genuine connection will be more appreciated as she gets older.

Disability or not that girl is truly smart. at least she’s open and honest about herself. People need to stop hating on people with disabilities. Everybody deserves to be treated equally in this world.

Seems to me that gaining the friendship of someone who has this Williams Syndrome, you will be gaining a friend for life, and that in itself is worth more than everything else in the universe.

"i need to be loved " it broke my heart. she is so honest and open and vulnerable. so beautiful. you will find true friendship and you have your family who truly loves you! we love you!

Who wouldn’t want to be her friend? She’s so genuine & that’s extremely hard to find in a friend nowadays. She’s super mature! She’s not normal, she’s better than that because full grown adults don’t have the intellect & emotional capacity that she does. I would LOVE to have her as a friend ❤

What an absolutely beautiful family. And as far as I'm concerned, she is far outpaced many in her age group. Her emotional intelligence, her presence of mind, and eloquent, perhaps even poetic way of describing and answering the questions is amazing. Sofia, if you should read this, you are beautiful both inside AND out. Anyone who has an opportunity to be your friend is truly blessed.

Sophia - you are everything that is right with planet earth. You are incredibly emotionally intelligent and articulate, and as you grow older, I know others will start to really see you for the unique and truly incredibly eloquent and caring and beautiful girl that you are. Some kids your age not have the emotional intelligence themselves yet to really see other people - many adults I know haven't even attained the level of self awareness you seem to possess! You are an incredible and unique addition to this world, and I know that the older you get, the more people you will meet who will see what we all see in this interview. Any human on the planet would be incredibly lucky to have a friend like you. You are so genuine and caring and remarkably bright. Thank you for sharing your story! Keep shining sweet girl ❤

I’ve been in school with Sofia since 3rd grade, she’s an incredibly sweet individual and I’m so proud of her for speaking about this in such a mature way. Truly a very intelligent, funny and sweet person, and I learned a lot from this interview. Love you Sofia!!! You inspire me to overcome my own anxiety and move forward with confidence about myself. ❤️ -Rose

Her sister is equally amazing! I love how she looks at her sister in the eye.She's so compassionate and gentle with her sister.

Omg I would literally give anything to have a friend like Sophia. She is so perfect!

I truly can't comprehend how anyone could struggle to be friends with her. I'd love to have a discussion with her. It feels like it would be so easy. However, I've also got ADHD so maybe I'm just on the same wavelength.

This girl has a LOT of wisdom and intelligence, especially being so young. She will do well in life and I wish her the best.

She's extremely intelligent, especially emotionally intelligent. She has a lot of wisdom of how to deal with what's going on in her mind. I still have trouble and I'm 30. She's doing better than me and she's a teenager. Go Sofia!

Sofia says "love is contagious" Its so true. Her loving spirit just shines thru.

Her first 2ords about her mom, as a mom myself, brought me to tears. She has such a beautiful, pure soul. And she is SO incredibly articulate and well spoken - she truly hs a gift with the art of storytelling

“I know what love is because you taught me how to love.” WOW. That hit me like a brick wall. That’s exactly it. We know love because of how others show us love.

My birth mother had William’s Syndrome and everyone I ever spoke to regarding her told me she was a pure angel. She died before my 3rd birthday. This video has helped me to understand and appreciate what a precious sweet soul gave birth to me

My dear, you are not called "Sofia" for no reason. Keep shining light on these dark times through your beautiful wisdom. Thank you! ❤

OMG! Look at her all grown-up! And she's so in touch with her emotions she puts the rest of us to shame. Sophia, it's on my bucket list to meet you in person and be your friend. You're the most genuine person I know.

How could anyone not want to be her friend like her empathy is so so contagious

I can't imagine anyone not wanting to connect with her. Hearing her speak about her emotions, I can't help but understand exactly what it is she is speaking into. I've for many years taken issue with how the people I've known seem to have no interest in reaching out or connecting in a deeper more genuine way. Hang in there Sofia, it's not you, it's the rest of the world that has a problem.

She's so intelligent and she's made my day. Let's be kind to one another it costs nothing ❤❤

Love this Guy and his videos! Sofia is super intelligent and well spoken! Bullies are missing out on all the beautiful light Dfua carries!

Sofia is beautiful, funny, sweet, compassionate and everything in between. Keep being you!

She is a legend, “wise beyond her years” doesn’t even cut it. When people have to pick at others it’s usually because they don’t feel good about themselves, you keep being you!

She seems super wise and expresses herself better than many people her age who do not have disabilities.

How lovely human being is Sofia. She is just wonderful ❤

I wish I had a friend like Sophia. She is clearly soulfully rewarding. She's obviously got so much important perspective to share.

Sofia has a high level emotional intelligence, she's honest and really a genuine person. She's really special and the most important thing is that she's loved for that.

What a lovely young lady Sofia is. I absolutely enjoyed learning from her and getting a snippet into who she is. Anyone that gets the opportunity to be friends with Sofia are fortunate. I couldnt imagine why anyone wouldn't want to be friends and hang out with such a genuine soul! Thank you, Sofia!

Chris I think a lot of us are really comfortable with this back and forth communication style you have, when we have ADHD, ADD or Inattentive ADD and OCD or Anxiety.

The way she communicates is outstanding, obviously way better than the average teenager. Amazing

Nothing wrong with Sofia's brain or personality, OMG, she is a joy to see and hear. Great fam too incl the cat.

Sophia, thank you for sharing. I am sharing your video with my students in special ed to show them that they are not alone in the struggles. You are their role model for where they will go. You are so wise.

What a gift. This girl is blessed and could teach this word a lot.

I can’t imagine anyone NOT being her friend!! She’s so positive and intelligent and warm. Sofia, if you read this, I think you are a gorgeous person who deserves all the goodness that the world can offer.

Sofia you are so cool and intelligent. I think your gonna be such a cool person as you find your way through life. Really enjoyed hearing your story!

What a wonderful young lady! Happy she has a sister who loves her as much as she does. Nothing can replace a best friend, and you can tell they are.

I love them all! The sisters have an amazing bond! Proud of this family!

She is EXTREMELY well spoken. You can just tell that she's such a genuine person. And she honestly seems like she'd be such a fun person to be around, so I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to be friends with her. She seems like she'd have some REALLY good conversation. Probably laugh a lot and she's got great taste in music. Sophia, I'd be your friend. Honest to God. And my 17 year old daughter said she'd be your friend too. We'd invite you over to hang out or go to the mall or a Taylor Swift concert. I bet we'd have a blast! The people that don't want to be your friend aren't deserving enough to have a friend as cool as you!! And the people that are only kind to you because you're disabled, I bet they'd change their minds if they spent more time with you. I don't even like saying "disabled", I'd rather say "differently-abled". But, anyhooziewoozen (did that word make you laugh? 😂) You're such a kind, funny, spunky, genuine person and literally ANYONE would be lucky to call you a true friend!♡♡♡

She needs to be a motivational speaker. I can totally see her doing this one day. What a beautiful person inside and out.

Many people don't know, many people lik Sofia are Angels in disguise! Dont miss out on this beautiful light! one of the best and important videos ever!

Gorgeous, emotionally intelligent, well spoken young woman! Her voice makes a change & I hope she knows that & hones that power to share her happiness! ❤

She made me cry. She’s so expressive and deep with the way she explains herself. She’s so beautiful

I hope Sofia hears this: the WORLD needs a friend like you. If just one in ten people had a friend like you, Sofia, the world would be a much better place. Your interview really touched me emotionally because of your love of life. You embody the very reason humanity MUST be kind and considerate to one another. This world is a better place simply because you are in it. I wish I had more friends like you. You bring out a smile in every soul that is blessed to come across your amazing existence.

This wonderful person made my cry how beautiful she is I have two special Adult kids. I have a daughter with Down Syndrome she is 32. I also have an Autistic son of 24. They are wonderful people kind and gentle they are my angels 😍🥰

I have a grand daughter with disabilities, she is wonderful too! This girl is a beautiful soul.

Hearing her talk about yearning for friendship makes my chest just.. Tighten. I want so badly to hug her.

her way of being able to vocalize herself and her thoughts is so amazing to me im autistic and i feel i never get to be so really able to make my words so direct and able

So pure and the self reflection Sofia show is just amazing. I'm genuinely impressed, she shows way more self reflection than i ever would, and how she answers so quickly tells me that this is something she probably reflected on before or maybe she just have a quicker mind than me. Either way, this interview was indeed a really good interview, just like Sofia intended.

“My sisters, my mom, my dad will always be true friends to me because they’re my family. I will leave them someday, but I’ll always come back to them because I know they want me back. They always want me back and it’s true love and that’s how it’s gonna stay.” Your words hit deep - I think I’ve found my definition for family and friendship.

the way she expresses herself is so beautiful and poised. and her emotional intelligence is more advanced than 95% of grown adults. she’s a star. those “friends” who didn’t want to hang out with her were missing out.

Sofia, you speak of emotions in the most beautiful way I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much.

I have watched two videos from this channel and have great respect for the interviewer. His manner is empathetic and his questions are insightful.

I think this girl might be more highly evolved than the rest of us. What a lovely, sincere, beautiful shining light of a person.

I dont think ive ever been more enamoured and fascinated from hearing someone speak. Shes is so emotionally articulate in a way i could never be. God bless her and her family

There is so much to learn from Sofia. She has inspired me and reminded me to smile because this life is a gift, no matter your circumstances. I wish her the best in this life!

What a delightful and genuine soul! So intelligent and so discerning and eloquent.... totally shattered my preconceived notions of what a person with her disabilities is like! She's a real thinker! So happy I watched this interview.
