This is a wonderful article,full of common sense and compassion.
I live in the UK and have a daughter with Downs Syndrome who was born in 1979. She now lives semi-independently and does a wide variety of adult education classes. My father came from Chennai when it was still called Madras.

U r wonderful!! to say the least. I love the language u have - so self pity, no sympathy just LOVE.. Great. I too am blessed with a lovely child who has been diagnosed with down's syndrome. He is 1.10 yrs now and he has been blessed with lovely people around him who think he is PERFECT!! Now i am at a cross road because i am not able to find a good school to put him in. He goes to a fantastic day care but they are only upto 5 years and in India the admission process is so horrible that i have started hunting right away but am already hearing NO to a down's child.. do you know of some schools where these lovely children are accepted.
