Answer 1

One quick relevant lesson: There are three types of Down syndrome. The most common one is Trisomy 21, which makes out about 95% of the cases, and have that look you’re talking about. The other types however don’t usually share the same look, some people with a type of Down syndrome look almost just like any other person. They could tell you they have Down syndrome, and most people would think they’re joking, because they’re only familiar with Trisomy 21.

So this is your friendly lesson to teach you that there’s people out there who don’t share that look but still have Down syndrome. For whomever might not know.
