quote author=doctorsAdvice post=43186656]Down syndrome is a common condition caused by having “extra” copies of genes on the 21st chromosome. Those
extra genes change development during pregnancy, and they continue to have effects after birth and throughout
a person’s life. Each person with Down syndrome is unique, having some of the many possible health, learning,
and related differences that can occur with this condition.
Some of the differences in people with Down syndrome are common and visible, like the facial appearance.
Other changes are less common or less visible but can still cause problems or may need special treatments. The
“special treatments” may include medicines, surgeries, or changes in what you should expect. There are no
medicines or therapies that are needed by all people with Down syndrome. There are also no medicines or
therapies that can “cure” Down syndrome.
Your child’s doctor should be your starting point. Your child needs regular doctor visits and a few special tests.
Medical specialists may also need to be involved.

5252World:
Most certainly! There are a few possibilities why someone with an extremely high IQ could fail at school which are but are not limited to:

1. They are bored and uninterested in the subjects

2. Hate the teachers

3. Hate the students

4. Have bad home lives

5. They could be lazy procrastinators who have found everything easy and so have forgotten how to study or don't have the discipline required to put in the effort needed or fail due to not changing their methods

6. They stay up too late making them feel tired in the mornings and of such don't wake or sleep in due to a multitude of reasons

7. Have an inferiority / superiority complex and so don't like being told what to do which can lead to dropping out, getting an expulsion due to their actions against said authority figures and / or loosing interest

8. Have a plan already for after school which does not need good grades or are inheriting / taking over a company owned by their equally/less/more intelligent parent/s

9. They could get mixed up with the wrong crowd and get hooked on drugs such as weed and alcohol essentially leading to many issues

10. Feel socially inclined to be cool or succumb to social pressure of which means getting bad grades and not doing study / homework

11. Lack in other intelligent aspects such as an adequate memory

12. Could be like 'rain man' and so cannot pass on all areas of school due to lack of an aptitude for them and are only good at one thing but are a prodigy at this, or the way the information is taught and / or then asked in tests does not suit them

13. Could be free going types whom don't wish to make plans or have commitments and are happy wherever the wind takes them

14. They could fail by being injured in a way that is detrimental to their school advancements

15. Could gain a mental health issue such as depression leading to no motivation or could have something like dyslexia

16. Could become insane leaving school or think drastically different to the norm and so might feel no need for school

17. Their insecurities could lead to wanting to leave school such as social anxieties or they could break down due to pressure

18. May be held back by pride and narcissism making them not want to be with other students or study like other students

19. May be a misanthrope and want nothing to do with society in general

20. They might die from different possible causes or commit suicide

Not only is this a possibility but due to the nature usually possessed by a person with a extremely high IQ it is probably more common than someone with a normal IQ.

[quote author=moreviewblog post=42683914]Birth defect is not what any mother wants. After about nine months of pregnancy, the mother-to-be has a high expectation of joy. Any woman who already had a disabled child does not want to have another, and same applies to the woman who has a healthy child. This is why every woman must try all she can to avoid birth defects in her baby.

The first thing to know is that, not all birth defects can be prevented. However, if a woman can adopt certain lifestyle attitudes, she can reduce her chance of giving birth to a baby with defects. Here are some of the things every woman should do, before and during pregnancy to increase her chances of having healthy babies.

Take folic acid daily
Folic acid is a Vitamin B. Enough folic acid in the body of a woman at least a month before and during pregnancy can help prevent major birth defects that develop in the central nervous system like spinal bifida and cerebral palsy.

Hehehehehehehe

Halexito, I missed u ooo. Verily verily!

Happy sunday folks! Don't forget to to go church!

solomonbey:
.
@Siamia. abeg you too much ooh!. You go even carry one naira coin buy that sweet thing them they roll-up in paper we they called "Ojukwu finger" dem go still give u change from d one naira coin. NTA will also show that program, Isha-Iwuu and the horror film, Weili-Weili. And the popular car on Nigeria road as of then is that Volkswagen product we fundly called "Tortoise Car". With just the engine sound, you can detect when the car is coming around.

Countdown is on to valentine's day...

Pls note that CP is different from autism and deaf/dumbness. That's why a proper diagnosis is necessary. But if what u described is thru, the boy has CP.

Ur boy displays classic symptoms of CP, cerebral palsy. But he will need s proper diagnosis, if u haven't already done that. He's able to speak, though he babbles. He probably can't hear well. That's CP.
Off the cuff, I'll say he needs to be checked by an ENT specialist. I train special needs childrhat are just like ur boy.
Inbox or send me a mail @siamia_2000@yahoo.co.uk
With proper educational training, he will be able to live as normal a life as possible.
CPs go ahead to marry and have kids, but they need educational/behavorial training.
Hope to hear from u.
God bless.

Eebrahym:
Hello fellow colleagues, please kindly assist with any information wrt the caption.
This special child in question is a boy, very smart and intelligent but can neither speak nor hear normally like his colleagues. He is not totally dumb but his speaking is almost not different from that of a baby trying to learn how to speak. He's only 10years old. He's very good in fields like construction and repairs according to his parents, he loves studying and carrying out repairs on faulty electronics at home as well as constructing things imaginatively.
According to his teacher, With little or no assistance, he can work on arithmetics and quantitative reasoning but finds English language and other subjects very boring and difficult due to his condition.
He is currently attending a private primary school where his parent spends huge amount of money to make him comfortable and feel good among his peers but this isn't the best approach to my own opinion. I therefore adviced the parents to quest for good technical school for deaf students where his talent can be enhanced, appreciated and a means of communication will be learnt by him rather than wasting time and money on a private school that handles him just like every other normal children.
So at this juncture, may I ask your own opinion and recommendation(s) of schools that can handle this type of case within lagos or Ogun state.
I.ll be very glad if nairalanders can show positive response to this thread as it can go a long way in both the life of the child and the parent.
Thanks

Gdmrn everyone and happy sunday.
This is valentine week. A time to show love. In the next 7 days, I encourage everyone of us to go out of ur way to be kind to someone. There are so many inexpensive gifts u can give out this season, just to show that u care. Remember, love is untiring, it is unfailing, it is unbridled, it is unselfish, it is unstoppable.
Love does not need a reason to love. It just loves bcs that's what it is.
This year, its not just abt finding a date for valentine's day. Its abt showing someone that u truly care.

Hi all,
I took time to read all posts bcs I have a ward who has ceebral palsy. She is deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other. From the posts here, I've been able to contact an audiologist with reasonable fees.
My heart goes out to all who have hearing challenges. I want to encourage u to also trust God for healing. A very possible reality. There are many real pastors and ministries that God has blessed with healing ministries. One of them is Omega fire ministry, based in auchi, edo state. Its worth a trip.
I pray that God heals u. Getting a hearing aid for 200k and above isn't beans.
Have a blessed day.

Special shout out to u, my dear. Lots of muahhh.....lol
Have a wonderful weekend.

Gdmrn nairalanders on this thread. Happy saturday and how are y'll doing? I took my time to go thru the thread, and its amazing. Love and appreciate what's going on here. I've got a thread on nairaland called: If ur 30plus and single, let's talk. Its a great thread and if u have time, check it out.
But more importantly, I started a whatsapp chat for serious minded singles who are 30plus, and are ready for serious relationship, commitment and marriage. Its kind of like a family or a community. And the additional plus is, people are hooking up in genuine relationships. The chat took off in october and ran for 3 months, ended with a lovely get together in december. This month, season 2 took off successfully.
So, if ur ready to settle down with a real man or woman, join us. Send me a txt, call or whatsapp: 08180632132. Don't just post ur number here for the good, the bad and the ugly. Join this whatsapp chat, where each member has been appropriately screened, and find love.

Is your child experiencing any form of learning difficulties? Is he or she able to function physically like every other child, but has difficulty understanding, assimilating or coordinating words to form sentences? Does your child find it hard to read? Or has been termed dull by teachers and fellow pupils, and relegated to the back of the class?
There is nothing wrong with your child. He or she only has dyslexia, a learning disability that can be managed and overcome. Dyslexia is a learning challenge that many children suffer from, and when treated, these children grow on to become stars in their fields of endeavour. Richard Branson of Virgin Group (Virgin Atlantic airlines), Jennifer Aniston,
Whoopi Goldberg and Tom Cruise, world renowned actors, and renowned scientists like Thomas Edison, boxers like Muhammed Ali, William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, and Henry Ford of Ford Motors, are few of the long list of successful people who were diagnosed with dyslexia and overcame it.
Crestview Earlystart Prv sch is a school with direct emphasis on special needs children who suffer from this disability.
Located in Agege, Lagos, we handle dyslexics from 3yrs upwards. We also offer boarding facilities in a 'home away from home' environment for children who do not reside in Lagos.
With a montessori approach that allows the dyslexic to learn at his/her own pace, with inbuild confidence that they will break the challenge of dyslexia, we take time to teach your child to read and write, and eventually blend in with 'normal' children.
Your child is not mentally ill. Dyslexics are gifted children whom, when nurtured with care, live normal lives. Just as Richard Branson and Tom Cruise.
Call us on 08180632132, 07067291837 and 08023697479, or Whatsapp 08180632132 for a consultation. Fees are affordable and admission into the school is allowed at any period of the calendar year.

Compliments of the season.
I welcome the newbies and greet the oldies. Thanks udysweet for the mention.
I pray for every member of 30plus and single who will be traveling in this season. May the Lord go with u. May the angel of His presence protect u. May ur traveling and returning be blessed. May u find ur loved ones in peace, and return with testimonies, in the name of Jesus.
In this season of goodwill, illwill will not be able to locate ur address. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. I declare that ur morning has come!
I don't know what ur expectation is this morning, but I pray that God will surprise u beyond ur imagination, in the name of Jesus.
I pray for those of us in the hospital. May the Lord touch u, heal u and lift u out of that bed of sickness, in the name of Jesus.
I pray for those of us who are trusting God for a good job. In a mysterious way, may that good job locate u. May God direct u to be at the right place, at the right time, to meet the right people in the name of Jesus.
I pray for those who are engaged and currently planning a wedding. May God bless ur union. May the oil of His presence be upon ur home. May ur table be surrounded with godly children, prosperity and peace, and the good health to enjoy it.
I pray for those trusting God for their life partner. U will not miss it in Jesus name, as u trust God to lead u to the right man/woman.
And now, I pray for nairaland, the moderators and the man who started it all. May the Lord bless u all. May u never have a greater ystdy.
For everyone reading this post, 2016 is ur year. God will remember u! Your time has come!

May God give the families of these departed ones the grace and strength to bear this unspeakable loss. Unfortunately, in the world we live in, bad things happen. The unexpected, the unplanned and the unforeseen sometimes happen.
I pray that as we mark christmas, let's realise that life is a precious gift. Make ur life have meaning. Live right, live well. As u go out this week, make urself a blessing to someone who cannot repay u. Be nice to someone. Say a kind word to someone. Show forgiveness to someone who hurt u, even when they do not return to say thank u, keep bein good, bcs that's who u are. Its not how many years u spend on earth; its how u live it...its all about putting value to the days that God has given u. So that, when ur own time comes, ur life will be celebrated, and not regretted.
We the people of 30plus and single, stand with these families in their moment of grief. May God console you all. May God see you through this trying times. He may not answer all ur questions, but He will surely stand with you. It is well.
