I know one person who was abit harsh(idk how to described in english since i dont speak english) due to their syndrome when we were kids but once they found special learning method, they were able to control their act much better than before. It is fascinating knowing they were so good at learning and just being a bunch of geniuses.

    I'm 30 years old, physically disabled and on disability.
    It makes me happy, to see someone like Julia, who loves and appreciates her twin, regard of his disability.

    personality-wise people with downs syndrome are a lot like very friendly dogs in the sense that they are very unjudging, caring, loyal but sensitive
