Original Note:
Downs Syndrome is a disability. "Most [people with Downs] will have mild to moderate learning disabilities and some may have more complex needs." https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/downs-syndrome Framing disability as an ability "reinforce[s] the stigma surrounding disability" and erases real struggles of disabled people. https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2019/04/23/disability-is-not-a-dirty-word-handi-capable-should-be-retired
