Sadly there are sick people out there and if they pick on or take the mick out of your daughter they are just below pondlife in my view. Don't rise to it mate they don't deserve the attention.

What a very sad state they must be to ridicule someone such as your daughter, you will have to try and be strong for her and not react (almost impossible in your case) even though most people would want to kick the $hit out of them. As @IANB says don't rise to it.

You will most certainly find, that deep down, these people are sad individuals indeed. Pointing fun at someone else, takes their minds off, how really sad they are within themselves.
As said, try to ignore them, hopefully they will wise up.

Horrible people Mate, I'm sorry to read this. I find its mainly the older generation who do it also.
This is very sad indeed I am so sorry mate. Downs children/adults are lovely friendly people I have met quite a few in my time and believe me you can have more of an intelligent conversation with them than most normal people.Sick barstewards if you ask me.
Knee cap em .
My youngest brother Alan is downs syndrome. He is 56 years old now, 2 years younger than myself.
Growing up together in Scotland was brilliant where he received almost celebrity status, the icecream man stopped outside our house and wouldn't accept payment for whatever Alan was having. Our doctor would often pop in for a cup of tea and the locals were brilliant as was the help and education Alan received from the local council.
Then we moved to England. I was 10 years' old and found myself attacking groups of people who were laughing at my brother. I got into a lot of bother with the authorities and had a reputation for violence. I was definitely scarred by some peoples' attitude towards my brother and never learnt to control my reactions till probably my late 20s' early 30s'.
I can now listen to and even laugh at jokes about downs syndrome so long as no malice is intended, depending on who tells' the joke I decide whether or not to tell them about Alan.
Alan does Elvis/karaoke in a local pub. I don't go cos to be honest his singing is dire but a few associates of mine keep an eye on him and make sure he is not abused. Also, I am still constantly on the lookout and notice when ignorant people give him so much as a sideways' look so can't be fully trusted not to react, albeit verbally now rather than physically.
Reading my post you will be able to tell that ignoring the assholes is far easier said than done johnboymartin, but you already know that.You are doing an amazing job mate, I couldn't have coped as well as you have.

I had a brother with downs unfortunately he is no longer with us.
Before my brother died when we used to be out other kids would hang around and ask what was wrong with him if an adult explained it properly the kids was fine but you had stupid adults that wouldn't explain it so then the kids would be iffy around him all round it is mostly adults that have the problem.
