Additionally, John is vocal about changing the narrative around disabilities, particularly in how people communicate. He does not appreciate derogatory language that often surrounds the Down syndrome community; he initiated a campaign against the use of the words “retard” and “retarded.” He explained, “I love to bully bullies. We really hate the word retard and retarded.”
Max is also now a grown 26-year-old man who is thriving. His father shared an update, expressing both pride and joy in his current achievements and well-being. He mentioned that Max worked at Starbucks.
In addition to his job, Max has continued to pursue his passion for music. He plays in a band. “He has a concert in a couple of weeks,” noted John McGinley. A clip of him showcasing his voice was also shared on the Global Down Syndrome Foundation’s Facebook page.
When John discovered that Max was born with Down Syndrome, he did not know if he could be there for his son because he did not know anything about the condition. But after learning, things got easier and he got to see his son grow up to be a talented young man.
