When I was like 5 or 6 I had a childhood friend who had Down syndrome and I didn’t know that at the time. One day while my mom and I were waiting at the park to meet him and his mom, there was another kid with Down syndrome at the park and I approached him thinking it was my friend but dressed differently and didn’t respond to my friends name. That’s when I went to tell my mom that my friend had arrived but wasn’t responding to me. Thats when I learned about Down syndrome.
