Down+syndrome

=**__Down Syndrome__**=

Down Syndrome is when someone is born with 47 chromosomes when normally someone is supposed to be born with only 46. Chromosome set 21 is the the chromosome that sometimes gets an extra copy. With the extra copy of chromosome set 21 it really damages the way your body and brain develops. Sometimes with down syndrome at an older age that person might still have the attention span of a little kid. Many parents having children with down syndrome want them to be home schooled because many of these kids with down syndrome get bullied. Either way that's not the point. To tell if someone has down syndrome you can see physical changes in the body for example


 * Small mouth
 * Small ears
 * Flattened nose
 * Short hands
 * Short fingers
 * etc

There is also growth problems like
 * Slow learning
 * Hearing loss
 * Short attention span
 * Impulsive behavior
 * etc
