My name is Parker, and I have Down Syndrome and Klinefelter's Syndrome. But... I am so much more than my diagnoses! I am sweet, feisty, snuggly, happy, stubborn, and energetic. I love reading books with Mommy and Daddy, getting kisses from my puppy, Chase, listening to music, drinking milk, and eating fruit. I especially love bananas and apples!
I hope that when you look at me, you see a person. A person who has feelings, ambitions, fears, insecurities, and dreams. My hope is that when you look at me...you see PARKER, not Down Syndrome.
Please be patient with my Mommy and Daddy. They love me so much that it sometimes makes them a little crazy and overprotective. They just want everyone to SEE me, too. When you see them with me, you can stare and wonder and be curious...but please don't be rude! Come say hi to us! Get to know me!
For October Down Syndrome Awareness Month, I hope that you ask questions and learn about me. I hope that you will love me for who I am. I hope that you will give me a chance.
Love,
Parker
