Do you think some people with Down Syndrome look cute?
yes there are people that have this condition that are quite eye catching when they are in really nice clothes and walk around with sunglasses in the summer,they just have that amazing innocence and trust that i find very comforting and not a hint of malice that i find quite cute.
Do you think people with Down Syndrome are cute?
Aww yes! I was in an open bar once and this japanese down syndrome kid ran awar from his mom and to the stage where the band was performing and started shaking his head and clapping his hands to the beat, though not in tuned! I burst out laughing, it was such a beautiful sight, it made me cry and made me happy all at once. I started cheering for the kid and gamely, all the ppl there started cheering too. It was so nice. The lead singer laughed too and called the kid up on the stage and sing with him. It made my night.

Why are kids with Down Syndrome so cute?
Ummm I suppose because their baby like features are actually exaggerated? Extra chubby with extra large heads etc.? There is a universal look to all mammal babies, well most all, with short limbs and big heads etc. and I think Down's can exaggerate some of that. The problem with Down's Syndrome isn't just being a bit slow. It causes a HUGE number of health concerns. Those kids often need operation after operation. It isn't just a matter of having a child that is a bit different or slow to learn. So unless you like seeing a child suffering constantly from multiple operations and health problems you might mind having one. I didn't know about all the health problems until I looked into when I decided not to get the test done during my pregnancy. Also they only live to 30. I would mind if I knew my boys were going to need lots of painful operations and would only live until 30. That said some do need a home. Just make sure you have lots of health insurance and the ability to deal with someone who is likely to be often in a lot of physical pain. You wouldn't just be adopting someone who stays baby-like, you would be adopting someone with real physical problems that may require many treatments.
Does people with Down Syndrome really look great , honestly?
Beauty is in the eye o9f the beholder. In other words, it’s what YOU think. Yes they’re “special” but let’s get real. Honestly, NO, in my opinion they don’t look great. Ok being a woman who was never able to conceive ( I am a DES daughter); I would not burden society bringing a child like this into the world, even if it were my only chance at having a baby. There are pre-natal tests for this and evey woman who gives birth to a Down’s Syndrome baby made that decision to do so. You want the best for your children inherently. Did you think of what life is going to be like for then as an adult? There are many levels of functionality/intelligence in Down Sydrom children and before birth no one knows how they will turn out. What happens to them when you can no longer provide for them and they cannot provide for themselves?? The ‘state’ will take care of them? (who is is going to pay for that?) Or, will you burden one of your other children with the care of your Down Syndrome child? That isn’t fair either.
Why do people with Down syndrome have disfigured faces?
I dont see where you see disfigured? But I will try to explain as best as I can about the appearances are people with Down Syndrome as it was explained to me by the geneticist when I had my daughter. The 21st chromosome affects a lot of things as far as appearances and they have almond-shaped eyes typically what you would see on an Asian person. Their ears are low set. The bridge of their nose does not form correctly so instead of having that brisg between the eyes it is ususally flatter. Some people with Down Syndrome have smaller amount space in their mouths due to teeth crowding, the roof of thwir mouth can be lower and their tongues can be a bit thicker. This makes it hard for them to keep their tongues in their mouth.Of course all this varies from person to pwrson just like everyone else.When my daughter was two months old I took her to a doctor and the doctor sent in a student doctor. I guess the student doctor had not read her files yet and when she saw my daughter she said I love Asian babies they're so cute. My daughter has Down syndrome she doesn't have an Asian father her father was white. But she did really have an Asian look to her. Now that she is 13 I think most people can see the Down syndrome in her face if they have experience with kids like her. She doesn't have the protruding tongue, the bridge of her nose is small but it's not flat. She has long hair so you dont see her ears but they are just a tad lower than a typical person. I do not see Down Syndrome when I look at her. I just see my teenage daughter. Facial features differ from person to person.Please always remember that people with Down syndrome are just like anyone else. They want to grow up, go to college, fall in love, get married, have jobs and just live life. They are more alike than not. And although they are different they are not less. They have all the same feelings , emotions, dreams, hopes and fears as anyone else. It just takes them a little longer to grow up and learn than other people.I hope this helps you. Please look at pictures of people and children with DS. Hopefully you will no longer see a disfigured person but just someone who has different facial features than you. Some people have big noses and small chins, some women have natural high cheek bones and full lips and some dont. This is what is different. Nothing else.Please have a look at this video.
Why do people sometimes refer to people with Down's syndrome with remarks like "Aw, they're so endearing, they have the cutest little smiles!" as if they're dolphins or puppies or something? Isn't it demeaning to refer to an adult in this manner?
People do it because they're ignorant, basically. Yes, it's demeaning. It's incredibly inappropriate. It's offensive. And it's a signal flare for an attitude that here is a person who says apparently-kind things but does not see them as whole, complete, adult people like us. It's the telltale for someone who's hugely unlikely to champion equality in any form.
What does a Down syndrome baby look like?
Here is a picture of my beautiful daughter Sarah, just one hour after she was born!Not long after the photo was taken Sarah was having breathing problems and was rushed down to the intensive care unit, without all her accompanying paperwork. (I had known that she had Down’s syndrome for the last 6 months of pregnancy).Over the next hour or so, a whole host of doctors, nurses etc. came in and out of the side ward we were in, all taking a careful look at Sarah, then smiling at me without saying anything, and leaving again.Obviously as a euphoric new mum (and perhaps slightly still under the influence of the fabulous “gas and air”!) I decided the only reason was because they all wanted to admire my lovely little baby!After a while, sighing with admiration, I remarked to one of the nurses how beautiful she was, and how I couldn’t really even see the Down’s syndrome. There was a pause, then she said “Oh, you know?”Apparently all the medical staff had been checking, double checking and wondering who was going to have to be the one to tell me. There was a huge feeling of joy all round! (And I joked that I should be wearing a badge that said “Yes, I know!”)Obviously it was visible to the professionals, but to me she was (and always will be) perfect. Sarah will be 18 in a couple of months.
