This weekend we were exposed to the reality of Mr DS biological cousins that have the same syndrome as we do. Both boys are cognitively impaired significantly and blind. They are in their 30's so treatments and things were different back then. But it was interesting to get a glimps into what he could be like in the future. However, he has some additional challenges too, bhaving been drug and alcohol exposed he has some other aspects of his condition to deal with in development related to that too. The good news is that two of the boys, the ones I met this time, both can walk and talk. I have so much hope for him for his future.
Speaking of vision impairment.... Mr C is blind but in denial about it. He sees light, shape, and sort of clear really really close.... It's comical sometimes they way he gets around, he just walks quickly to where he wants to go just assuming he's right about his path. Many days this method brings about the " bull in the china shop" side of him, other days... He's right on the money.
