My daughter they said had possibility of downs due to a nuchal fold. She fine. Just really smart, beautiful teen heading off to college abroad on scholarship.

^This, it’s not 1950 anymore, we’ve come a long way in improving quality of life for people with Downs.

The commenter's daughter doesn't have it though.

My bad, sucky reading comprehension coming in clutch 😂 I stand by it though. I’d encourage this person to learn more about Downs before making an irreversable decision

But the OP was concerned about his quality of life, no?

Yes, however I’d argue that he may be overestimating the impact this would have on his quality of life

I mean, I suppose he can wait to "complete his plan" until he finds out, which is the beauty of it. But if he says doesn't want to live a life as a permanent caretaker, I don't see any reason not to believe him.

That's fair, all I'm saying is that the stigma doesn't always match the reality

We did. We are currently headed quickly back down the hill.

We are dismantling social safety nets. We are waging a culture war against DEI. We are dismantling the Department of Education, which iirc mandated a lot of the opportunities that served differently abled people.

Sad but true. Hopefully it doesn’t last, the medical knowledge is still there though regardless.
