Down Syndrome Awareness Month
October is Down Syndrome awareness month. Over the last 3 years I pride myself in giving my all to raise awareness about what is Trisomy 21. Ive shared facts, videos, photos, and stories. This year I have been slack, not because I dont want too, because I think about it everyday, I'm reminded by it every day, but because to a mother with a child who has down syndrome, the truth is each month is down syndrome awareness month. Mums, dads, carers and gaurdians know all too well the lengths we go too to advocate for our children on a daily basis. To some that looks like arguing with a doctor and feeling as if you need to justify your decision around KEEPING your unborn baby because their genetic make up is different to the "norm" And too others its as simple as smiling at a stranger who is smiling at your child, as if too say, "I see you." Down syndrome awareness month is the socially acceptable way of raising awareness about down syndrome. Be
