The Lucky Few

305. Division In The Down Syndrome Community


Listen Later

After so many years in the Down syndrome community, we’ve had our fair share of surprising and even disappointing experiences with other advocates. The more we put ourselves out there, the more opportunity there is for disagreement. So what happens when there’s division amongst mothers in the Down syndrome community? Join us for a chat about:


  • Unwritten rules and competition.. what happened to collaboration?

  • Managing intellectual property.. what belongs to the individual vs the community?

  • Social media stand-offs.. how do we engage in productive conversations?


  • Ironically, the DS community doesn’t always feel inclusive. So what can we do to support the bigger picture even if we disagree on smaller things? Lets start by assuming the BEST in each other.
