There was a reality series about Downs Syndrome patients that was absolutely excellent and showed how parents helped their Downs kids navigate romances. She is so, so lucky to have someone who cares. I am currently looking for "mood buddies" to keep in touch with as sounding boards. My guy friend far away on the east coast does this best so far-very level headed.

It's been so difficult to motivate her to spend time on things she likes. She has interest in dance, drawing and makeup but she just cannot socialise which has made it difficult for her to pursue interests or get a job. People don't like her.
So we end up either just sending her to do various courses which have not yielded much.
I am happy to support but just want her to move in a direction and try for a job. Let's see whats in store for future.
