    All of us have come into contact with those with Down Syndrome at one time or other. Usually free-spirited and happy, and often surrounded by adoring animal friends, people with Down Syndrome seem to be able to enjoy the little things in life the way that many of us can’t—and in many ways, they do.

    However, they also face countless challenges on an every day basis, and many simple things the rest of us take for granted can prove extremely difficult for them, despite their admirably positive attitude to life. That’s why we should all take some time this World Down Syndrome Day to learn a bit more about this disorder and how we can help those who have it live better lives.

    A very worthwhile day to generate some empathy and compassion for those with Down Syndrome.

    I’ve known a few friends with relatives with Downs Syndrome. They have always been lovely and cheerful, albeit extremely stubborn when they choose to be :)
