&gt; *pretends to know something about people with Down Syndrome*

People with Down Syndrome usually have lower verbal communication skills which may make them seem or appear lower intelligence than they are. It’s a very common frustration for them to be treated like children because of their limited verbal communication; they understand a lot more than people realise. They know they are adults, they want and have a right to intimacy same as all other adults.

They don’t have the “mind of young children” and this mindset is deeply frustrating to them and the people who actually interact with them.
