Until fairly recent times (the early 1980s), the life expectancy of one with Down's Syndrome was about 25 years and they were typically institutionalized or kept at home.
That life span has more than doubled due to the trend of integrating them into our society and having them be contributors to society. That is a good thing!
There is a Down’s girl who works at our local Wendy’s. She is there to clean off a table or booth the minute a customer vacates. When she isn’t doing that, she is milling around the tables offering to get you drink refills or whatever you need. Better than most full service restaurants at fast food prices!
I see several working out at the LA Fitness I use
