For weekend fun, NBC's Mika Brzezinski hung out with instant messagers for some generational therapy. Acronyms and emoticons are creeping into the language, even formal writing assignments--so a primer is in order for those of us of a certain age. It was a little weird, though, for a bunch of nine-year-olds to share with Brzezinski that %-} means "drunk."
I think the positive piucblity is great! I have a almost 12 month old grandson with DS and in Australia there seems to be very little public awareness of DS, people generally (including some medical professionals) seem to have a very outdated view of DS and have low expectations of those wtih DS my little grandson is a great blessing and joy to us. He has had some health issues, and needed heart surgery, however through him my daughter and son-in-law have met some wonderful caring people who have given them great support. This generation of children with DS are going to totally change the outdated prejudice of people and show what they are truly capable of. Keep up the good work you are amazing parents!!
