Vielfalt ist wichtig. Die klare, verbindliche Sprache in dieser Community berührt mich immer wieder, wie hier:

@geno first off, thanks for asking! I heartily endorse the DSDN for their specialized help in providing information and support, particularly at or near diagnosis. And they do a good job with helping others advocate through awareness.
The Global Down Syndrome Foundation gets my support as the most accountable and active legislative and medical research/support for people with Down syndrome of all ages.
#WDSD is right around the corner again! Go Team!

In 2013, people assumed my sister’s life at 49 was over. @TeresaHeartchild fought back. 25,000 people signed her petition on #WDSD. Her supporters sent a letter to the Minister of Health. And finally, the govt apologized. Now Teresa is free. But thousands of others are being put into nursing homes. “The deprivation of liberty on the basis of disability is a human rights violation on a massive global scale.” C.

Unsere Welt ist bunt. Heute erinnern meine Socken daran

I dag har jeg taget et umage par sokker på!
Det gør jeg for at markere Verdens Down Syndrom-dag og for at vise, at forskellighed er noget, vi skal fejre – ikke skjule. De farverige sokker er et symbol på, at vi alle er unikke, men alligevel hører sammen.Verden bliver et bedre sted, når vi giver plads til alle – også dem, der ikke passer ind i normen.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day. The 21st day of the 3rd month was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. This year's theme is a call to End The Stereotypes. https://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/end-the-stereotypes #Accessibility #WDSD #EndTheStereotypes #WorldDownSyndromeDay

It's a milestone day for me. My op-ed is in The Star!
"My sister’s rights were taken away, like thousands of others with developmental disabilities"
