im starting to think there is an imposter among us

Agreed

@@ujustgotmerked9473. Ya maybe you.

They have it harder but still they can learn many things

@@ujustgotmerked9473 one of us one of us. We accept her one of us. Gooba gobba gooba gobba.

Our four kids with Down Syndrome learn differently, but are they are all able to talk, read, write, and spell. None of them have any health issues. They rarely get sick. I can't even recall one time in the last 5 years that any of them have even had a fever.

Why do you think their health is bad? It has nothing to do with health, there are many Down Syndrome people who goes to GYM and sports

You do have a point lmao

ROFL lol funny haha.

I really thought the same person was following me I almost called the cops 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

While you can tell relatively easily if an individual has down syndrome, this says more about them sharing similar physical traits than them all looking exactly the same. This is the same with race where you can tell if someone is Indian but that doesn’t mean that all Indians look alike. I guess the main issue with the video is a wording problem. Although the sub heading says that a common misconception is that they look alike, the actual intention of what the person’s saying is that people with down syndrome aren’t clones of one another in terms of appearance.

Nah. They legit all have the same face😂

@@qqma4791 even other species are easy to pick out When they have downs Syndrome

There is definitely a characteristic Downs look (which I actually love! Probably most people who've ever been close to someone with Downs do) that's true. But beyond that they all have their own individual appearance which varies widely just like with other people, including different hair and eye color of course. If you put two people with Downs syndrome next to each other you can definitely tell them apart they don't look the same in that way like identical twins!!

​@@Imarida2I have seen that too I know what you mean! Just looked it up though and read that only humans can get Downs actually, but that other animals can have things that look similar.

I'm not Siri, but I'm flattered you think I sound like a multi-billion dollar AI company 😂

@@MedBoardthis isn’t an ai talking?

@@MedBoardyou even comment like siri lol

⁠@@Tana-vm1cd. You even bro even write like Siri.

Can't tell these days so is on the rise ​@@MedBoard

That varies depending on the person and their genetics

True. I have a friend with downs and she is so cute and smart

👋💯

good for you. No one is stupid. And don't listen to anyone calling you stupid cuz if they do I will find them and scare them. 😂

It varies widely from person to person, all different levels of functioning too. I'm not speaking from an educated point of view just personal experience; just realized I actually don't know the "official" answer to that either, anyone else better at explaining?

It effects their speech (enlarged. Tongue makes speaking harder) can affect hearing (also makes learning to speak more difficult). It affects muscles (hypotonia) and ligaments & tendons (hypermobility) making it much harder to build enough strength to walk, run, hold a pencil etc It can also effect organs particularly the heart & can cause general learning difficulties.

Some common physical features of Down syndrome include a flattened face, outside corners of the eyes that point upward, small ears, a short neck, and a tongue that tends to stick out of the mouth. They may also have almond-shaped eyes. Since people with down syndrome share same physical features, they may look similar, but each individual has his own personality and abilities.

*Downs

Because some snowflake made this in hopes to make others treat people with disabilities better but they’re not realizing that their “facts” are completely subjective and based on their own personal opinions and not actual statistics….. video should be titled “things to remember about” and specify that “not all are”

Why is no one liking you 😂😂😂

While individuals with Down syndrome may share some physical characteristics, such as almond-shaped eyes, a small nose, and a single crease in the palm of the hand, each person with Down syndrome is unique and has their own individual appearance. It is not accurate to say that everyone with Down syndrome looks alike. Like any group of individuals, there is a range of physical appearances and individual differences among people with Down syndrome. Additionally, people with Down syndrome, like all people, come from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, which can also affect their physical features.

You’re talking about the common Phenotypic patterns not the overall appearance. If you meet a bunch you’ll be able to tell them apart. They have very similar features but they don’t look 100% the same.

@@lemongrab6173 They just look 90% the same 💀

@@angelg3642 if you say so.

@@angelg3642agreed

Yeh and. Whats so funny about that

Try being one for a few years 😢

who asked

@@arton5923 nobody but why tf u care

No you don't

@@arton5923me

@@MrSimplified i know damn well that three weeks ago you asked yourself “does Chloe Branigan have down syndrome? And if so can they comment it under this video?”

nope, once you see more people with down syndrome you’ll see differences. it’s like saying “all black people look alike”

That's technically the whole point of downs. They look the same but act different.
