Hello. I am Debbie and I am kind of new to this board. I have posted messages on the message board on unomas in the past but I have not been on in quite a while. I am not a parent but an adult who has Down syndrome. I have Mosaic Down syndrome. I have been told I am slight but I do have some problems with my vision. I hope you don't mind me posting here. I like these kind of boards because I seem to type better than talk sometimes. I am forty one. I like to visit these kind of web sites to encourage parents and type about my experiences growing up and living with Down syndrome. I try to be open and to learn from the parent's point of view. I figure we are all in the same boat whether we are a parent or a person who has Down syndrome. We want to learn how to better ourselves. I hope to hear from some of you!

Hello Staci! Yes, we have met on the NAD's web site and messages boards. I am glad you remembered me. As you know I go by another name there. I still visit the web site but decided to come here once in a while. I thought they were getting a little too intense for me. You know what I talking about! I was so surprised that unomas came up with this board. I like it so far! I will try to post more often now. I share the computer with my parents. The computer is my father's. See ya' later.

Hi Debbie, I sure do know what you mean about it being too intense over there lately I love that UnoMas is a little more laid back, ya know? It's a great website, & I can't wait to hear more about you and get to know you better! Keep posting! Staci
