Once upon a time, the diagnosis of Down syndrome sounded like a death sentence, but over the years, society has adapted to these special people. Some of them managed to become famous and achieve success, proving that Down syndrome is not a death sentence, and people who have it are not doomed, reports.
People with Down syndrome become artists, lawyers, actors, models, athletes and restaurateurs. The main thing is desire, hope, endurance, strength and, of course, the support of caring people.
Note that International Down Syndrome Day began to be celebrated in 2006 at the suggestion of Greek geneticist Stylianos Antonarakis from the University of Geneva. At the VI International Symposium on Down Syndrome, held in Palma de Mallorca, on the initiative of the boards of the European and World Down Syndrome Associations, it was decided to declare March 21 as International Down Syndrome Day.
The twenty-first day of the third month was not chosen by chance, since Down syndrome is associated with 3 copies of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21).
REFERENCE. Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by an additional 21 chromosome - complete (trisomy 21) or partial (due to translocation). Such people have 47 chromosomes in their karyotype instead of the usual 46. They have a characteristic appearance, an increased likelihood of developing a certain range of diseases (for example, congenital defects of the cardiovascular system, acquired defects of the sensory system), a certain mental retardation, as a result of which slower mental development occurs against the background of healthy individuals and worse social adaptation.
Due to the impossibility of completely treating the problems of this anomaly, medicine does not aim at permanent treatment, but at ensuring a normal social status for people with Down syndrome.
DATA. According to WHO statistics, every 700th child is born with Down syndrome in the world. This ratio is the same in different countries, climatic zones and social strata. Genetic failure occurs regardless of the lifestyle of the parents, their health, habits and education.
It is known that the risk of having a child with Down syndrome depends on the age of the mother. For women under 25 years of age, the probability of having a sick child is 1/1400, up to 30 years old - 1/1000, at 35 years old the risk increases to 1/350, at 42 years old - to 1/60, and at 49 years old - to 1/1/1000. 12. However, since young women in general give birth to significantly more children, the majority (80%) of all children with Down syndrome are actually born to young women under the age of 30.
50 percent of babies have congenital abnormalities of the heart, stomach and intestines. Previously, they lived up to 40 years because these diseases were not treated. Now life expectancy is 60-65 years.
They fall in love easily and never betray, often creating families. Children are not born in such families; almost all men with Down syndrome are infertile. In women, pregnancy ends in miscarriage or premature birth.
There are many jobs in the United States that are specifically designed for people with Down syndrome. T Some people work as waiters in cafes and repair shoes. It is beneficial for them to entrust work that requires a scrupulous approach - arranging literature in the library, delivering mail. It is difficult for such people to find work in Ukraine.

An interesting guy, Bogdan Kravchuk, lives in the Ukrainian regional center of Lutsk. He became famous after becoming the first Ukrainian student to have a gene abnormality. Despite the fact that he has Down syndrome, he is interested in history and geography, knows the capitals of all European countries, as well as the dates of the most important historical events in Ukraine.
From the first grades Bogdan was interested in books, textbooks, geographical maps. The child’s grandfather, Vasily Kravchuk, worked with the child, who helped develop the child’s photographic memory and imagination, which helped the child in his studies. Many things are difficult for Bogdan - he doesn’t count well, he can’t tie his shoelaces. But most of his ordinary peers can envy his success - he knows by heart a huge number of poems by Kotlyarevsky, Shevchenko, Lesya Ukrainka.
The child began to walk late - after two years. He also didn’t speak for a long time, but his mother started teaching him to read early and the baby suddenly began to talk. There were no special techniques, the training was ordinary, but my mother needed a lot of patience. The boy went to first grade rehabilitation center, he really liked geography, literature, history, his interests coincided with his grandfather’s and he enjoyed studying with his grandson. He was also helped by history teacher Larisa Bondaruk, whose classes became Bogdan’s favorite.
Having finished school well, he entered the Eastern European National University in Lutsk. There were problems with admission; they did not want to issue a medical certificate, since according to the law of 1967, children with special needs of genetic development cannot enter a university. However, in 2006, a decree was issued in Ukraine according to which such children can study in a correspondence department, and Bogdan chose this form of education. A history teacher helped me get a doctor’s certificate. By the way, upon admission I took tests on a general basis - the tests included three subjects - Ukrainian language, world history, History of Ukraine. After graduating from university, Bogdan plans to work in a historical archive; he enjoys studying ancient documents.

The appearance in a family of a child with special needs - with developmental disabilities, disabilities or multiple disabilities - is a gloomy lottery of fate from which no one is immune. IN last years society turns to families with such children and is engaged in their social integration.
These processes are also taking place in Russia, although unevenly; in the fall of 2017, a certain lady on television reported that “special children” are born from “drunk conceptions,” which is both factually incorrect and offensive.

Konstantin Meladze
Konstantin Meladze's son, Valery, was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old.
“This is not a sentence, this is an execution, after which you were left to live. This is a serious disease that has no cure yet. It is being adjusted. I'm talking about severe autism. Such children can be taught. I think that parents who are faced with a similar problem are familiar with the feeling of fear, helplessness in the face of grief, and shame. Our society does not accept or recognize “others”. But when a child has his first successes, hope and faith awaken - and then a new starting point for genuine victories and bright pride in his child begins,” says Yana, ex-wife Konstantin Meladze.
Exists erroneous opinion that people with Down syndrome are absolutely not adapted to life, cannot study, work, or achieve any success. However, this is not at all true. Our heroes act in films, teach, walk on the catwalk and win gold medals!

Judith ScottSad and amazing story Judith began on May 1, 1943, when twin girls were born into an ordinary family from Columbus. One of the girls, named Joyce, was born absolutely healthy, but her sister Judith was diagnosed with Down syndrome.
In addition to this, while still a baby, Judith fell ill with scarlet fever and lost her hearing. The girl did not speak and did not react in any way to remarks addressed to her, so the doctors mistakenly believed that she had severe mental retardation. The only person who understood Judith and could communicate with her was her sister Joyce. The twins were inseparable. The first 7 years of Judith's life were absolutely happy...
And then... her parents, under pressure from doctors, made a catastrophic decision. They placed Judith in a home for the feeble-minded and abandoned her.
Joyce separated from her beloved sister for 35 long years. All these years she suffered from melancholy and guilt. One can only guess what Judith was experiencing at this time. At that time, no one was interested in the experiences of the “mentally retarded”...
In 1985, Joyce, unable to withstand many years of moral torment, found her twin and took custody of her. It immediately became clear that no one was involved in the development and upbringing of Judith: she did not know how to read or write, she was not even taught the language of the deaf and dumb. The sisters moved to the Californian city of Oakland. Here Judith began visiting an arts center for people with mental disabilities. A turning point in her life occurred when she took a fiber art class (thread weaving technique). After this, Judith began creating sculptures from threads. The basis for her products was any objects that were in her field of vision: buttons, chairs, dishes. She carefully wrapped the found objects in multi-colored threads and created unusual, unlike anything else, sculptures. She did not stop this work until her death in 2005.
Gradually, her creations, bright, powerful, original, gained fame. Some were fascinated by them, others, on the contrary, were repulsed, but everyone agreed that they were filled with some kind of extraordinary energy. Judith's work can now be seen in outsider art museums. Their prices reach up to 20 thousand dollars.
Her sister said about her:
“Judith managed to show the whole world how someone who has been thrown into the dustbin by society can come back and prove that he is capable of extraordinary achievements.”Pablo Pineda (born 1974)
