Uhm really? Different doesn't have to be negative? Let me see... Down Syndrome often leads to heart issues, vision problems, hearing loss, infections, hypotonia, problems with the upper part of the spine, life expectancy among people with Down Syndrome is 50... the world is not the perfect place that ( stupid ) cliches like '' different doesn't have to be negative '' make it sound like. I'm a happy person now but just lol if you seriously think that people with Down Syndrome aren't less accepted in social situations and that they aren't considered ugly by everyone. You might as well claim that the sky is orange at this point.
This is basically the same bullshit that my psychologist keeps saying, it's supposed to make me feel better but she doesn't realise that thinking I'm the problem doesn't do me any good. It's the other way round.
I just try to have a positive outlook in a way. I understand health issues suck. I have autism and many other health problems. Most my friends have disabilities. It's more I think people who reject people with disabilities are shallow and wouldn't have made good friends anyways.
I think people have the right to be friends with who they like and want without being labelled as shallow. As long as they aren't dickheads and they are respectful to peoople with disabilities, everything's ok, you can't force them to make friends with anyone. I appreciate your outlook, but it's actually unrealistic, not positive.
Sorry about your problems, but if it helps, they are probably way less serious than mine.
Is it acceptable to diagnose a person with Down Syndrome with BDD?
