Although the majority of society is benevolent, they do not know how they can contribute to the well-being and integration of people with Down syndrome in society. Therefore, the commemoration of these days provides an opportunity for the public to learn more, to get acquainted with what Down Syndrome really is, which is often still shrouded in various myths.
3. In the morning you don’t have to look for two identical socks …
