Is Down's syndrome really easier than having autism?

Post Reply New Topic

my cousin has down syndrome, i have autism, i love my cousin he is so carefree and happy but however has problems feeding himself, problems talking, had many problems with toilet training, is off in his own world talkin to himself a lot, and ppl see him they automatically view him as ret*d, and jus see the down syndrome without the person because down syndrome is all facial. With me, i also have the same problems but you cant see the disorder, sometimes if im standing there jus standing there staring into space u cant tell i am autisitc, its not written all over me, but ppl treat me like im ret*d or as a potted tree all the time, just happened at the dentist today, the same dentist ive had for many years still thinks i cant sign my own name cuz i have autism, like r u serous? whatever i bit him for that matter lol. anyways moving on. I dont think any disorder is easier then the other, both have their challenges, pros and cons. My cousin who has moderate down syndrome doesnt have it easy, especially being seen as automatically ret*d cuz he has DS, at least with autism not all ppl think tis retardation, and im as carefree as him, except i can be more violent then him, and he has a lower iq. either way i dont think he has it easier, or any harder either. p.s. i love downies their usually so sweet lol, i know random sorry haha.

Pretty controversial question... think I'll just perpetually sit on the fence for this one...

The bat will? When can I meet this bat and subscribe to his newsletter?

I wonder if I could describe the experience of being me to a bat in any way that would be adequate enough to be called accurate. I am guessing no.

I prefer independence.
