What is Down Syndrome?
A mental defect caused at birth, when a human has more than the amount of chromosomes he's supposed to have.
People afflicted by down syndrome have larger or longer fingers and have shorter memory and learning.
The affects cartoons have on humanity include making stupid people look ugly or goofy,
which makes some incompatant bitches make fun of people afflicted by down syndrome because the afflicted people look somewhat "goofy" to them.
People with down syndrome are not autistic btw, because autistic people have brain problems, while people with down syndrome have chromosome problems. See links above.

They tend to be particularly good at relating to other people, mimicry, acting, dancing and music.

Abuse:
As with other forms of disability and difference, children who have not been taught better may use "Downs" or "Downs Syndrome" or "Special Needs" as an abusive term for other children. This is not all that common with "Down Syndrome" though previous terms for people with Down Syndrome (such as "Mongoloid" "Mongol" (shortened to "Mong") and "Retard" have been and still are used abusively and as a result have dropped out of normal use.
"We now know that the child with Down syndrome
can gain significantly from the language and social
skills they observe in their typically-developing peers.
They flourish with exposure to the rich language and
play experiences they witness around them. We also
know that the other children, too, benefit from
having a child with special needs as a peer. "

Down Syndrome
A condition affecting a person on the basic genetic level in which one chromosome splits in three instead of two and causes heart defects, thyroid conditions, shorter extremities and slower brain development. Although, their brains are slower to develop, you won't find any of them judging so harshly that they will be sending ignorant definitions out for everyone to see. They will also never judge you for having no genetic reason to be as stupid as you so obviously represent yourself to be, as referenced by your definitions.
