/^t/People with Down Syndrome can really be useful for the society. They do not have to be a burden at all. Mark and other retarded children prove that if they are really interested in something, they are able to perform it very well. Mark, for instance, is especially fond of music. He manages to figure out how to operate a hi-fi set. Mark thrives on routine and enjoys things others despise: cleaning the table, loading the dish washer. It is a great fun for him.
