what is down syndrome
let's start with
this was the last thing adapter winding down
back in nineteen th century england doctor gallo's the medical director of
urls would mental asylum
if you noticed how some of his residents had a lot of the same physical features
active langdon road
so much to the resemble one another
that they might readily be taken for members of the same family
in eighteen sixty six he published his findings in this asst
about a condition that would one-day become known as "Down syndrome"

now syn drome is just a word.
A word that means a group of symptoms that consistently occur together.
Here's an example of a syndrome that I recognized:
Red Hair Syndrome
Red Hair Syndrome is something you were born with and there's no cure. People
born with Red Hair Syndrome will deal with the following symptoms throughout
their life.
They sunburn easily,
have freckles, and could mature to be extremely passionate.
That's all it means.
These people will still go to school,
makes friends, and get a job.
They may have different things to deal with than rest of us.
But it doesn't mean they're life is ruined,
not by a longshot.
And that's also the way it is, with Down syndrome.
