it is a genetic disorder caused by having 3 chromosome #18s instead of 2. this is called trisomy 18. (down sydrome is caused by trisomy 21). \n\nover 90% of these babies have major heart defects. more than half are deaf. they require very intense care at birth, have a high risk of dying, and have major medical and developmental problems if they survive.

Yes a female child with Down Syndrome could be tall.  Although children with Down Syndrome tend to be short in stature (as well as many other defining physical characteristics) this is not true with every child with Down Syndrome.  Because this is a syndrome there is a varity of characteristics that are associated with the condition, however the DSM-IV TR does not state that in order for an individual to have Down Syndrome they must have all the characteristics (only some). If you have additional concerns/questions let me know and I'll do the best I can to answer them.

I have had custody of my retarded granddaughter all of her life.  I have struggled with questions like, how do I protect her from sexual preditors? Should I have her tubes tied? Should she be on birth control? \n\nWhen I die, who will take care of her.  If I leave any money to her when I die, she can loose all of her government benefits ... so how can I be sure she is taken care of in the future?  Where will she live?  Will she ever be able to get a paying job?  How much freedom can she have?  \n\nAll of these are my questions ... but they all apply to her if you turn it around.  Like she could be asking, "Will I ever be able to get a job?"\n\nThere is a lot of discrimination against disabled people ... especially those on medicaide.  A lot of doctors can't make enough money from medicaide payments, so they refuse to treat handicapped people. So this is a question ... can I or will I be able to get decent medical care?  \n\nThere are a lot more ... but this gives you a little idea of some of the issues for the disabled people (and their care givers) in the USA.

19th century, but unsure about the exact date.  Down syndrome (also known as Down's syndrome) encompasses a number of genetic disorders, of which trisomy 21 (a nondisjunction) is the most representative, causing highly variable degrees of learning difficulties as well as physical disabilities. It is named for John Langdon Down, the British doctor who first described it in the late 19th century.

CHILDREN WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME\n\nYes- but with all the support and resources they need- this takes additional strain off the class teacher and the child, we're all different and children with Down's syndrome are all different too, if children have additional educational needs they need to be given additional support not marginalised. Children with Down's syndrome are still children.
