The sweet boy with Down syndrome finally gained the modeling contract he deserved
The nice little boy Asher Nush was a charming, smart and lovely boy. He had all the admirable features to be a little model for famous brands. But strangely, a number of child modeling agencies refused to work with him. The one and “main” reason was the fact that the boy had Down syndrome, something that sounds beyond of ones mind. It was just devastating for Asher’s mother to hear such excuses to refuse a person with such a potential and charm because of his “disability”.
Megan considered her child to be just a miracle and was sure that his smile could evoke lovely emotions in the hearts of people who would see him in advertisements. So she sent his pics to some popular modeling agencies. And the responses were just upsetting. They invited children with special needs only in shoots for some goods or food for typically these babies. The woman was simply frustrated of that unfair situation. It turned out that people with such problems had no place in social media. And she tried to change this stereotype.
Megan did her best to make Asher feel confident and respected personality in society. She created a Facebook page for him and posted his pics and writings about his strong character and nature. In this way she spoke about the rights of the children with special needs and stressed the importance of their integration in the public. And she also wrote an open message to the international childrens’ clothing brand OshKosh B’gosh offering Asher as a model.
This letter just instantly spread around the media and the representatives of the worldwide agency contacted with the woman and agreed to sign a contract. It was a big success for Asher to appear in shootings and be famous but most of all to feel himself as a respected member of society. And this was also her mom’s wish. She didn’t want her boy to be a superstar. She just struggled for his rights to have his own place in the world as the rest of the people. She wanted to see him a person not a carrier of a diagnosis.
