That they are normal people just slower. Slower reactions and maybe trouble speaking sometimes but we have all the same thoughts and feelings as the average person

Yes treat them as you would anybody else because we really are the same as any other of your customers just not as mentally sharp. As to what you should do.... I dont have trouble speaking to others with the syndrome (seeing i have it myself) I am not really sure. I could see how this could be very awkward. Try to say "could you repeat that?" and maybe look at whoever they are with. Their "date" should be able to pick up on the signal and help you out a bit.

People who dont have down syndrome are very fast. Everything about them is quick and decisive. It is amusing and fascinates me
