Advice: A letter-writer doesn’t understand why people become awkward when they bring up Down syndrome.
Even with a greater socially open acceptance, I still experience social awkwardness when the topic of DS comes up. Although I am perfectly comfortable chatting with others about Down syndrome, I don’t know how to handle situations when others are uncomfortable.

Would you like them to say, “Oh, that’s interesting,” ask about your grandson’s schooling or ask, “What’s that like for you?” If you love someone with Down syndrome , you will be drawn to others with Down. In that case, you should communicate your own friendliness directly to that person, and if they have family members or friends with them, you can gauge their willingness to interact with you by being open about your own family members.My boyfriend of four years doesn’t know when my birthday is and can’t understand why he should even care about it. He quips, “Sometimes I don’t even know my own birthday.
