Question
My 25-year-old wife was diagnosed with Down syndrome during a check-up. What does a person with mild Down syndrome look like?
Answer
Even individuals with mild Down syndrome may exhibit significant intellectual disability and developmental delays. Their bodies are often very soft and relaxed, with a lower immune system, making them prone to illness. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other congenital diseases, such as heart conditions or leukemia. Patients need to maintain regular eating and sleeping habits, regulate their physical and mental health, maintain a positive mood, consume light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and increase their intake of vegetables and fruits.
