Thank you so much for making this. I am in the process of getting my son tested for DS. I knew very little about DS before & have dove deep into researching all about it. If he does turn out to have DS I am feeling so much better about it! It seems like they live full & even happier lives than us neurotypicals & that is so beautiful.

Thanks, for the information, but would like to know, are their organisations which can help on supporting babies with down syndrome, because I have a baby with down syndrome, but I even do not know which type because I have no money to know which type of down syndrome the baby has. Thanks
