ya exactly

A large part of her success comes from the fact that she's high-functioning. One doesn't have to be financially well-off to learn to be a competent (or even skilled) baker - anyone can learn this. Being a model is something that almost certainly would take extra finances, though it's unlikely this young lady will make a career of that anyway - most models don't end-up as super-models, after all, and have to have a Plan B! However, modeling may have provided her with confidence. That's important - though there's other ways to build confidence, too. In terms of being a baker, I have no doubt this young woman could hold down a job if that's her goal; she's high-functioning enough that she could likely live independently on her own. This would be a goal of most folks with Down's Syndrome, as well as of their families. I'm not convinced that one needs to be "well-off" for that to happen - it's more a function of how high-functioning the person is with their Down Syndrome - which is genetically determined, to some degree, and then optimized (or not) by family and supports. One could argue that a family with $ resources can afford things other families cannot - but remember, too, that a family with resources may also be less-motivated for their child to be independent; after all? They can afford the cost of caring for the child through adulthood - there's no need for the person with Down's Syndrome to become financially independent. Just some food for thought.

Some do, other's don't. It depends where they live.

​@@LionforadayReally ? So having Downs Syndrome is like a spectrum ? How many types of DS are there ?

@@tudormiller887I know - I only discovered this recently myself. Mostly I think you have it or you don't, but rarely, you can have a combination of cells that have the normal complement of chromosomes, and some that have the extra 21st chromosome. So exactly - it would be "on a spectrum," and you'd be variably affected depending on how many of the cells were affected, and which ones they were.

I am also worried about my son please let me know if you have any solution

​@SaraMashira I just gave birth to a child with down syndrome a week ago....I am confused and scared I just pray for God to guide me. I fear for her future but there is nothing I can do to change

Down’s Syndrome is not caused by inbreeding . risk of down syndrome increases with age 1 in 1250 for a 25 year old mother , 1 in 1000 at age 31, 1 in 400 at age 35, and about 1 in 100 at age 40. But Yes younger mothers can also give birth to down syndrome child its just coincidence.

Why not??
