A person with Down syndrome may find they have a short attention span, poor eye sight and a need for a routine.
Also, typically the life span of a person with Down Syndrome is cut short at an average of 49 years.
There are a number of characteristics of people with Downs Syndrome. Some of the most obvious characteristics include rounder flatter face with smaller mouths and noses. They often have short stubby fingers and low muscle tone.
Sometimes Down Syndrome is called Up Syndrome because alot of children with Down Syndrome are happy all the time.
decision making, muscle coordination, enunciation
Down Syndrome people could act much younger......for instance, a 30 year old down syndrome person could actually act like a toddler and they never get to grow up. Most unlikely, anyway.
Yes, children with Down syndrome can get adopted. I have two sisters, both have Down Syndrome, and both were adopted. They are amazing :)
50% of females with Down syndrome are able to conceive children, while males with Down syndrome are usually sterile.
heredity
No, because people with Down syndrome can't have children.

Children with Down syndrome can learn to participate in physical exercise activities like other children. It may take children with Down syndrome longer than other children to reach developmental milestones, but they will eventually meet many of these milestones.

No. Parents who have a child with Down syndrome do not have an increased chance in having another child with Down syndrome. Everyone has the same chance of having a child with Down syndrome, 1%.
That would mean that the mother is the one with Down syndrome, since men with Down syndrome are sterile. There is a 50% chance that the child will have Down syndrome and 50% chance that child will be born without.
== == * I did some research and learned that men with Down syndrome are usually sterile. Most women can get pregnant and have children. Since there is a high risk of Down syndrome in the baby (35%-50%), many times the pregnancy would end in a miscarriage. But many Down syndrome people have had children. * Technically yes, but it's unlikely. Fertility is greatly reduced in both males and females with Down syndrome, although there have been a few cases of males fathering children and females bearing them. * Actually, there has only been 1 case of a male fathering a child. A women with Down syndrome can have children, but there is a 50% chance that the baby will be born with Down syndrome.
