I've known a guy with down syndrome for over 10 years and saw him at least once a week for years.
He is the happiest person I have ever met. The only time I have ever seen him without a smile was when his mother asked him to stop talking over her. He had a frown for about 5 seconds and then went back to having a huge smile. If you just say hello to him his smile would get even bigger than it already was. Just seeing someone who was so happy all the time really made me feel good.
I moved for a while and anytime I returned he would always ask me about my apartment and the area I was living. He always seemed so interested in my life. Many times people just ask "how are you doing?" but don't actually care since it is just a greeting for them. With this guy he genuinely cared how I was doing. It is so refreshing to have someone like that in my life.
