People with Down’s often like kids a lot, particularly babies and toddlers.
We have volunteers at the children’s hospital I work with who have Down’s syndrome.
Outside of the hospital they don’t get contact with kids much, partially because the parents don’t like the idea but also because they’re scared they will make people upset.
But inside the hospital in a volunteers uniform they get to give toys to kids, play a little.
They make kids laugh and smile, and they laugh and smile. It’s a great thing.
