Ok, let me ask this please. I have a client that has facial features of DS but that’s it. Talking with him on the phone I would never know. Even in person when I look at him I have to make special effort to realize that he is not challenged in any way. I think to myself that it must suck to make people realize he has no mental challenges. Am I missing something? Can you have the physical characteristics but but the mental characteristics?
