MOSAIC MOMENTS

The National Down Syndrome Congress has launched a wonderful campaign this year educating others about Down syndrome. The PSA campaign is called We’re More Alike Than Different and features several young adults with Down syndrome to show that they are “More Alike Than Different” than those without an extra 21st chromosome.

What many do not know is that two of the commercials featuring Christi Hockel show what it is like to have mosaic Down syndrome. Christi is a wonderful young lady whom I feel privileged and honored to know. She is full of enthusiasm and has a great future ahead of her!

We would definitely like to see more of these PSA’s throughout the country! This is a wonderful way to spread the message that people with Down syndrome (of any kind) are more like everyone else. They have the same feelings, the same wants, the same desires, and the same goals as everyone else! If you would like to see these PSA’s in your area click here for more information on how to do that.

For the next few days I am going to discuss a different look on “We’re More Alike Than Different”. In our world of mosaic Down syndrome, it seems as though we are consistently trying to convince the Down syndrome community that people with MDS have most of the same issues as those with Down syndrome. Some people get that without a problem, where others struggle in many ways to understand.

So, please join me tomorrow to learn about the similarities between mosaic Down syndrome and Down syndrome. Anyone touched by mosaic Down syndrome or Down syndrome will benefit from this discussion!
