The misconceptions seem to overflow when it comes to people who have Down syndrome.
The reality is, Down syndrome is not a disease. It is not something that will ruin your life. And it is not something that can keep you from participating in everyday life like any other human being.
Really, all it is is one extra chromosome. And if you realize that, you'll be just fine.
When I saw these people standing up for people with Down syndrome who were being mistreated, I was amazed and so proud of our human race.
However, clearly these comments that this video touches on are not made-up. So some people would not have been so kind.
People truly think these things and even say them out loud. And well, everyone else is sick of hearing them. Especially these people you're about to meet in the following video.
These groups of people entertainingly introduce the misconception at hand, and shut it down with their simple responses.
People with Down syndrome might be different, but they are not diseased or disabled.
Watch for yourself and see the beautiful, fully functioning adults (and baby Bella) who have proven Down syndrome stereotypes wrong.
I personally love hearing from all of them, and I think everyone should stop saying these things! Don't you?
