Blog For Down Syndrome

It took us a few years to reach the conclusion that our son with Down Syndrome also has autism spectrum disorder. He was reaching developmental milestones up until 3-4 years of age and then actually seemed to regress in areas of eating, communication and socializing.

I wish we had seen an article like this one on the Kennedy Krieger web site back then 12 years ago. It really rings true for us and I hope others will find it useful.
Great article on the Kennedy Krieger website

A good article appeared in the NY Times, ‘Just A Normal Girl’.

It tells the stories of developmentally disabled individuals, their families and college staff working to open college classrooms and campuses to cognitively disabled persons. The article is well done in that it doe’snt sugar coat the challenges involved.
