Quote of the moment

"I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen. I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue." Martin Buber

Mitos del síndrome de Down/Myths about Down Syndrome

Mitos del síndrome de Down

A lovely column in today's Mercurio (Santiago, Chile's newspaper) about people with Down syndrome.
the article invites us to put in front of statements that may describe an individual with Down syndrome (or any intellectual disability) the phrase: "Like all people...." to recognize that we are no different than each other whether we have a disability or not.

  1. That was a GREAT Article! I had an Aneurysm that left me with brain damage and epilepsy... I have problems with finding words and speach as well as memory and seizures.. people "look" at me differently now than they used too and I can relate to this article.. especially when I have a seizure in public or when someone asks me questions (I look "normal") and then they look at me funny and walk away with a funny look on their face... I'm glad you posted this article.
