Description of kids with Down syndrome, from Douglas Pils in the San Antonio Express-News:
Some will have trouble living on their own, while some will go on to college. Pretty much like every other kid on your block.
More than 50 million people in the United States have disabilities, a number that is growing rapidly as the population ages. Experts say disability will soon affect the lives of most Americans. This website attempts to aggregate news and commentary about disability, and to document the efforts of people who are seeking new ways to address familiar challenges.

My husband’s and my world was rocked the night our oldest son was born. We were only 21 and 24. Mike was born with Down syndrome. He is now 16 years old and has rocked our world to the positive side. He is so determined to show people that he is a teenager first, then a boy; then comes Down syndrome. Michael is very involved with school and helping his brother race go-karts. Check out his picture on his brother’s site: http://www.69motorsports.com.
Thanks, Douglas Pils, for letting others know our kids are just like every other child, with hopes, dreams, difficulties, love, and living life.
