[quote=Anonymous]There is a huge difference between Down’s and severe developmental disabilities. Assume OP is in boat of changing diapers while getting kicked in the face, excrement smeared everywhere, non verbal, challenges with fine and gross motor skills, incapable of completing any activities of daily living without assistance, etc. It is not “Welcome to Holland,” unfortunately. There will be no adult jobs in coffee shops or wiping down tables at the State Department. Yes, being high achieving makes it possible to get better access for your kid to what they need, but every day is still an exhausting nightmare. And there’s no end. They won’t outgrow it, and you’ll still be the caretaker when you’re 80 years old. It sucks.[/quote]
