she had difficulty speaking and pronouncing words, and she was unable to walk, thus in a wheelchair, but fortunately she was able to write very well and at length, i am not talking about just a few words here and there, but she was involved in a science fiction fandom and was able to write at length for the fanzines, newsletters, and so on
the brain is a mysterious thing, and despite her trouble speaking/walking i could not see how this woman could be classed as "retarded"
it is realistic to point out that this is probably a very unusual outcome for a down's syndrome patient tho, the others i've met have had pretty severe cognitive deficiencies
