DEBUNKING STEREOTYPES
Stereotype: People living with Down syndrome are always happy.
Oftentimes, people with DS are happy and pleasant to be with. They are the light of a party and anywhere they are. It is true that they may not understand sarcasm, but it is certainly absurd to assume they are always happy. They show emotions such as anger, excitement, irritability, and happiness. They are, in most cases, sensitive, sensible, and self-aware.
FACT: PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME ARE OFTEN HAPPY BUT ALSO CAPABLE OF EXPRESSING OTHER EMOTIONS AS OCCASION SERVES.
