Nashville, Tennessee
I am a mother of three...My oldest two have Trisomy 21 Down Syndrome, they have a younger sister that does not carry the gene!

I am the one with Mosaic Down Syndrome!!!!!!!   I am currently 29yrs. of age!
As a child I grew up having problems.  I wasn't diagnosed with Mosaic Down Syndrome till I was 20!!! After the birth of my second child with Down Syndrome, I under went genetic testing! I have no history of Down's in my family and the doctors stated that my first child was a flux! Growing up I was diagnosed with a language disability and with ADD!!!!!!!

Now that I have children with Down Syndrome all the problems I had with in academics and behaviors makes since! I think I was lucky because I wasn't diagnosed early and wasn't treated like a "special" kid! I was in normal classes and graduated with a normal high school diploma, and included with "normal" children all my life! I think being included is the key to success with children with Down Syndrome...they are very visual learners..and having a good model is the key!
