Do you have gloves custom made? Or just wear mittens?

What’s the start of an episode like? You mentioned you’re sick, but do you know when you go to sleep at night “this is a big one” or does it only process when you “wake up” two seasons later?

Perhaps a bit too personal but... how does not going to the restroom for 20 hours work? Or does it not work...

This was due to bad medicine, in large part. With the inclusion of people with Down Syndrome in healthy homes instead of draconian institutions, sports specifically for those with disabilities, and general medicine advances, you can live a very long and full life with Down Syndrome

What's up, Doc?

Just wanted to say I think you are an awesome father. I am a volunteer at a sports center for people of all ages with developmental disabilities. I volunteer 1:1 with a teenage girl who has Down Syndrome.

She's significantly stronger than me (Last week she did 50 push ups!), one of the most insightful people I know, a typical hormonal teenage girl, and in general a really awesome kid. I know it's due in large part to her having an awesome family.

So, keep doing what you're doing. And, let this be my shameless plug for sports clubs for people who are differently bodied- they're awesome and every kid deserves to be able to compete or dance on a stage or have a team jersey.
