I read, these kids with a Down Syndrome are very positive in all....  and many adults are loving them.  My girlfrind had such a little girl in her Congregation, now she is already growing to a woman and a wonderful JW.  These people always very kind and so lovable❤️  We've some very special movies with Down Syndrome people, I saw it in TV.  Jehovah of sure likes them too🙏  In the NW, they are all healthy again, as JW.
