Can you have the appearance of Down syndrome but not actually have the syndrome?
Who really cares if a child looks normal or not!? God created us all the same, and we shouldn't treat each other differently just because we have a little disability! Calling a disabled child "dumb" or a "retard" is not going to change their life and is only going to hurt their feelings, so why bother?! But the truth is, a child with Down Syndrome is not going to look regular without some major surgery. They will need facial reconstruction, though. But even if you choose to have plastic surgery performed on your child with Down Syndrome or not, just remember to love and take care of him or her. It's the best gift you can give your child, and with the right therapy and attention, your child (and you!) can learn to live a normal, neurotypical life.
