    A WOMAN with Down syndrome has used her flair for writing and drawing to launch her own clothing line. Grace Key may have been born with Down’s syndrome, but she was also born with creativity and sass that has enabled her to launch a cute clothing line and a modelling career. The 20-year-old from Calhoun, Georgia, is spreading positive messages through her brightly coloured t-shirts, which state phrases like ‘Be The Light.’

      Asmaa Raess that might be the case of course! did not think about that. if it has with Graces own comfort to do
      it’s totally understandable.
      not going to lie though. first
      thing that came to mind were all these mothers who have children/grown up children with autism so they therefore think they’re now the spokesperson for the whole autistic community, telling other verbal people with autism/aspergers and even media eeeeverything about how a life with a neuropsychological diagnosis feels, without having it themselves. those people take focus from the real voices
      somehow. I just don’t want that to be the case.
      I didn’t really hear much questions even yes och no ones asked towards Grace. like if she’s happy about her new clothing line etc. it could’ve been an option to let
      her answer (again if she wanted to and felt
      comfortable) and then let her mum handle it with repeating the answer and adding a bit
      more to it perhaps? like “yeah,
      you’re happy aren’t you?” and a some more. I don’t know. maybe text? there are a lot of options.

    I'd consider it more of a t-shirt line than a fashion line. But still it's awesome and good for her! Anyone I've met with down syndrome are super intelligent, idrk what can be wrong with them besides some developmental problems. Maybe they struggle to learn a bit, but they're more normal than people ik without disabilities.

It’s not all rainbows and unicorns but it’s way different than even just a few years ago. Some folks just aren’t comfortable talking “in front of “ what will turn out to be many people. She may also be concerned people won’t be able to understand her. But she’s an amazing young woman and regardless of whether it’s a fashion line with only caps & T shirts you never know where it can go. Big names inspire big dreams!
