My wife and I have a 3 month old son with DS. He is great, my 2 year old has fun with him and he has already grown so much. We have our IFSP set in place and his teachers are always thrilled with the progress he is making. My question has to do with expectations. I have read a lot of books but they all seem to end with "he or she now lives an independent happy life". Thats great, but I want to know about some of the great things that people with Down Syndrome have accomplished. Where they work, what the independent living looks like, fun leisure activities that someone might not expect from a person with DS. I always have people asking me questions, and that is great, but I have this one of my own. I just want to think about all the great things my son may accomplish. I would especially like to hear from some adults with DS. Thanks for your time.
