    No.  Down Syndrome is a genetic issue that babies are born with.  Developmental disabilities usually show up as a child is developing and they are diagnosed at some point after infancy.

    oh scratch that.   No,  they are born with extra chromosomes.  I mixed it up with another chromosome condition. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 29, 2017 8:42 PM MST
