I am looking for a person or persons to review some of my novel as related to Down's. If you work with Down's patients or have a close relative with it, please PM me so we can talk.

I belong to a number of disability rights email lists. I could post a query to see if someone would be interested. You might also check out National Down Syndrome Society - Home and get in touch with them. Let me know if you'd like me to talk to folks.

I sent an email to National Down's Syndrome Society asking them but if I don't hear anything back, I'll contact the NDSS. I just wanted someone familar with Down's to vet my novel. I have 2 heroes, both with Down's. Thanks. If I hit a roadblock, I'll let you know.

kk, good luck. From my experience with the various autism societies, these groups really want appropriate depictions and are willing to work with writers who want to move beyond stereotypes.

If you want me to touch bases with people let me know.
