What does Down Syndrome mean to you? Disability, genetics, or something more? We acknowledge that genetics play a role, but instead of getting stuck on science join us to dig deeper and consider how people with Down Syndrome are really just like you and I. People with Down Syndrome continue to make contributions to friendships, inclusion, careers, and film. There are endless myths about Down Syndrome, however with every myth there is a truth. Rather than focus on genetics, focus on the truth that Down Syndrome is a natural human variation. After all, it's only an extra chromosome! You can never have too much of a good thing.
