I Am Happy To Be Me

"I Am Happy To Be Me" is the name of a new book that a 21 year old man with Down Syndrome recently wrote. Sean Adams, from Louisiana, set out to write about what it was like to have Down Syndrome, and writes "I think everyone should know that I'm glad I have my disability."  Congratulations on your book, Sean! http://www.dailycomet.com/article/20140602/ARTICLES/140609964?p=1&tc=pg
