[quote=Anonymous]I've known a couple of DS young adults, and they were absolutely delightful. They were also very high function and I think at least one of them was probably a mosaic. Bur I also know of a situation in which the child is more severely impacted by physical problems as well as intellectual limitations, and yes, it is an overwhelming struggle for the family. I think it's important not to romanticize these situations, as people with certain political bents will sometimes do. However, it sounds as if the baby you are considering is on the more high functioning-end of the spectrum...and I'm sure you could get an assessment of her physical health as well. So may be a great move for your family. [/quote]
