I always cringe when people try to apply this take to something like Downs. It’s always a bunch of pandering about how they are happy and have a childlike sense of wonder
What about when people with Down's syndrome say they are living fulfilling lives? Obviously paternalistic "look how happy they are" is a shit take, but "I'm genuinely content with my life" from a person with Down's syndrome seems like a pretty important voice to listen to, surely.
