I'm afraid a lot of what you've said here is simply not true - it's either wofully outdated, or pure disinformation. Attitudes to Down's have changed a lot in recent decades, and children now get access to education and assistance, instead of being stuck in an institution to rot. As such, life outcomes are vastly different to what they used to be. I have a daughter with Down's, so I probably know more about it that most. > You will never surpass the cognitive capacity of a young child This is just completely untrue. > you will have impaired vision and hearing There is certainly a higher incidence of vision and hearing problems in people with Down's, but it's far from guaranteed. Further more, glasses and hearing aids are a thing. > if you ever manage to speak at all I'm struggling to take you seriously now - this is utterly absurd. > You will have a myriad other chronic and painful health problems There is a higher incidence of some physical and mental illnesses in people with Down's, but again, it's far from guaranteed, and again need not have a large impact. For example, a lot of those born with Down's have a small hole in their heart, but nowadays it's fairly easily rectified. Not sure what "painful" health problems you could be referring to.
