Don't be daft. It's a genetic disease.

Down's syndrome is something you'd have from birth. So I'm pretty sure you'd know by now.

There's no way something like that would go unnoticed.

There are plenty of people with 'big puffy eyes' and a 'massive forehead' in the world, doesn't mean they have Downs Syndrome. I'm not entire sure about this, so feel free to correct me, but isn't DS when you are either missing, or have too many chromosomes? You'd have been diagnosed with this before now, if you have it, which you almost certainly don't

Why not research it a little bit? Then you'll see you don't have it.

I really think they were making a cruel comment. Yes, you are right - its one too many or too few chromosomes and there's a heck of a lot more symptoms than puffy eyes and a big forehead.
