"Down’s syndrome is not a disease and therefore people with Down’s syndrome do not suffer nor are they victims of their condition," the Down’s Syndrome Association states. Down’s syndrome is only a part of the person, they should not be referred to as ‘a Down’s’."

It continues: "People with Down’s syndrome are all unique individuals and should be acknowledged as a person first and foremost. It is important to think of the person first, e.g. ‘John is 29 and he has Down’s syndrome’."
