I know it's hard for adults. My mum's best friend has a daughter a few years younger than me with Down Syndrome. Unlike a lot of people you see with DS, she's not at a level where she's able to work or live semi-independently. Like Cordarius, she needs twenty four hour care, and her verbal communication is extremely limited. But she has always been social, and loved going to school or church. Unfortunately, once she 'aged out' of special schooling, there was absolutely nothing for her to do, no services or programs in her area, so she was just home all day with her parents or a carer. I think she asked for about ten years if she could go to school, when was she going to school, and for all I know, she may still do. She's nearly forty. There's just nothing for disabled adults in so many places, whether we're talking living situations or programs for socialisation and enrichment.
