What are some of the problems in caring for a mentally disabled person?
- Communication and understanding
It can be extremely frustrating for both the carer and for the disabled person when misunderstandings occur.

- Stress can be caused by taking care of them, there are physical challenges with having to bathe the disabled; feed them; watch them constantly. All these are difficulties while dealing with mentally disabled people. Mainly because they're incapable of taking care of themselves.
Down syndrome is a life-long genetic condition that causes certain physical characteristics and delays in learning and development. In the majority of cases, Down syndrome occurs because of a spontaneous occurrence at around the time of conception that results in the baby having an extra copy of Chromosome 21 in every cell in their body.
In most cases, Down syndrome is not inherited. The reason for Down syndrome is unknown. It can happen to anyone.
People with the syndrome will have a degree of learning difficulty. This means that it takes longer to process information and to learn new skills, and that tasks and learning may need to be broken down into smaller steps.
If someone has learning difficulties, it means that they may not learn things as quickly as other people and they may need more help and support to learn. With the right kind of help, however, many people can acquire practical and social skills even if this takes them longer than usual. Most people with Down syndrome will walk and talk; and many will read and write, go to ordinary schools, and lead fulfilling, semi-independent lives with some support.
Myths about Down syndrome put straight
- People with Down syndrome cannot achieve life goals: The vast majority of people with Down syndrome learn to walk and talk, and many are attending mainstream schools, passing GCSE's and living full, semi-independent adult lives.
- People with Down syndrome all look the same:
Certain physical characteristics are similar. But someone with Down syndrome will always look more like his or her close family than someone else with the condition.
- People with Down syndrome are always happy and affectionate:
People with Down syndrome are no different to anyone else in their character traits and varying moods.

How do you learn to accept a child with Down syndrome?
Loving Down Syndrome Children
- Gosh, these children are the most loving, accepting children of all. I am a sub aide for Learning Support children, and in high school babysat for a Down syndrome child, who was the sweetest girl! She always gave me hugs, and wanted to please in any way possible. Very accommodating, loving children/people, as long as they are treated well. Not high maintenance at all.
- Wow, this is a sad question :( But I had SEX with my son so can we bear children? BTW it felt amazing! He know how to do it. It was hardcore alright!
My brother has Down syndrome and he's the greatest thing that ever happened to me. So get over it! :))))))
- I am a 23-year-old mother of a 4-year-old child with Down syndrome. My son means everything to me; he is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. Raising a child with Down syndrome can be difficult, especially at first, but it is all worth it. My son is the happiest kid I know. He loves to laugh a lot and does everything that a typically advanced child would do... it just takes him a little longer to learn.
Just remember that this is your child... YOUR CHILD! =] You should love them unconditionally, regardless if they are born with three legs or 5 eyeballs -- thankfully, however, Down syndrome is not like that at all; you could have it much worse.
The poem "Welcome to Holland" -- by Emily Perl Kingsley (see Related Links) -- helped me right away when I found out that my son would be born with Down syndrome. It prepared my mind-set for when he was born. Also look up "birth defects" online... seriously, there are so very many more scary things out there than this.
I am not saying that raising a child with Down syndrome is easy or a walk in the park all the time... just most of the time. Seriously, have you ever met, or seen, or even heard of, a child that was completely perfect?

What causes people to have special needs and why?
The causes vary. Some people are born with disabilities that are physical or mental. While others get into accidents that result in a person having special needs. Sometimes a special needs situation is caused by a disease and the resulting treatments. So, it isn't any one thing and any one of us could be a person who has special needs in their life time. Another thought; as we age things happen to our bodies and we may require special help in some format. The next time you see a person who does require special help realize that in your life you may need some help as well at some time.

Is there a way to hold a Down syndrome child who is acting out?
I am 11 years old, and have Asperger's Syndrome. I am going to a special needs camp, and I have befriended a girl with Down Syndrome. I have learned so much from Melanie, and she has learned a lot from me too. I have learned, when I'm trying to get her to do something that the counselors want her to do, instead of yelling or threatning her, I encourage her, and get her excited to do the thing. And then, I offer to go with her. Therefore, she gets a reward by doing it, but I don't bribe her with material things. Instead, she gets the reward of not having a time out and of spending some time with her best friend, even if it's only 2 or 3 minutes.

Should parents set a bedtime for a 17 year old?
- No, 17 years old is almost 18 and that would then make the teenager no longer a minor. It is best if the parents let their teenager know that they need their sleep and let the teenager decide what time they should go to bed. However, if the teen is out late at night then it is up to the parents to set ground rules that the teen be in at a certain time. Also, if the teen is sitting up all night on the computer; getting poor grades at school this gives the parents the right to decide when the teen needs to go to bed and get plenty of rest.
