Lovely story, so sad that in this day an age of information all parents are given is negative information by those in authority. Those born with DS can achieve many things, my 2 foster sisters are polar opposites, Em helps manage a small farm, with her own chickens of which she sells the chicks and eggs, drives a quad bike and exercises the miniature ponies. Caz on tthought hand tho bright refuses to communicate and has many additional diagnoses and mental health problems. Maybe the difference is that Em is a genetic boob whereas Caz has a DS uncle - accidental vs predisposed.
