Getting Down With Down's

on 06.28.2012

I saw two youngsters with Down's Syndrome today, and that's always a bummer. I feel bad for the guys, but I have to say, it seems like they're always having some fun, or at least are on some sort of mission. The first was at the farmer's market, and he was very eagerly waving at all the produce shoppers, and I even saw him scaling the side of a van when I was leaving. The second was one that I see in my neighborhood all the time, and he appeared to be enjoying himself very much as he smacked the shit out of some leaves on a tree. Good for him. --Adam

My son is autistic with speech and communication developmental problems. He has Asperger’s and because of that he goes to a special school which also has beautiful and great Down syndrome kids. When you have a kid who has a handicap, whether it is mentally or physically it makes you love them more. This is not a topic for making fun.
