Just an additional question,
Does your friend have "Translocation" Down syndrome?  I realized you posted your question under the Down syndrome Forum, and not the Genetics Forum.
If you are unsure what type of Genetic Chromosomal Problem your friend has, I encourage you to find out so that I may comment better on the syndrome and possibly help you to understand the disorder better.
Congratulations on your son!  
You are absolutely right, our children are children first and I am so glad you are able to see this.  Don't let what other people have to say madden you, keep being an advocate for your son and continue to help him to be the best person he can be.
If ever you need help or have questions, do not hesitate to post, and thank you for sharing your thoughts about your son!

Dear Blush786,

Without knowing what type of Chromosomal Disorder your friend has, it is hard to comment, but Chromosomal Disorders can not be cured simply because they are "problems" with the chromosomes and genes, which are in every affected cell.  At the moment, science has not yet figured a way to alter chromosomes and genes.  There are a few interesting ideas currently being investigated, but nothing as of yet is concrete.  
Depending on the type of Chromosome disorder your friend has, may not affect him in his day to day life.  It may however affect their offspring simply because there is a chance that they can pass on the disorder.

I hope that your friend knows that they have such a caring and concerned friend.

In addition to anything I have mentioned, please keep in mind, that while I or others may have extensive knowledge in many areas, you should always seek professional medical advice from your own physician, as it pertains to medical conditions or concerns.
Good luck, and if you have any other questions that I can help you with, please feel free to message me directly.

Sincerely,
