Down syndrome - books for parents
When Jonny was born 17 years ago, there were only a couple books available on Down syndrome. Now look at what's available:
It's so ironic that our culture has evolved in compassion and caring towards individuals with Down syndrome even as 90% of babies diagnose prenatally are aborted. In actuality, it couldn't be a better time to have a child with Down syndrome. And believe me, as a mother I will tell you that having one isn't about us helping them reach their potential as much as it's about them helping us reach ours.

I'd love some book recommendations for parents once their handicapped child becomes adult age --- basically, "What now?" Any recommendations?
