Examples from 2009:
"I am fine and happy having Down syndrome. I like to learn stuff at Mrs. Brown's House like reading, writing and having fun too. I am also learning to be a teacher."
By: Elizabeth Beutel (11)
"Having Down syndrome means nothing to me, I'm special like everyone else. I do not let people judge me for having Down syndrome. The important thing is how I feel about myself. On the inside, I feel beautiful."
By: Edward Barbanell (31)
(Billy in "The Ringer")
"I can get a lot of money if I sell my extra chromosome on eBay. I don't need it anymore."
By: Graham Sheldon (23 today)
