Maya had an echocardiogram recently. It was inspirational to observe her. As she watched her heart pump on the visual monitor she wondered aloud about God and repeatedly asked the medical technician, "I see my heart, but where is the spirit?" and "Where is my soul and spirit?" The medical technician finally took her seriously and spent 30 minutes engaged with her in a metaphysical discussion.
I've known for a good while that my daughter is a high energy being. This has only increased since being on The AIM Program. Her colds last less than 24 hours. She has constant ardor and enthusiasm about everything in her life.
Down Syndrome can be associated with very different traits in many children. Being in relationship with Maya is like channeling a mighty torrent into the boundaries of a narrower stream bed, yet she is learning how to do this. She responds increasingly well to positive reinforcement and is more easily able to learn from these approaches. This was much less so in the past.
Her reading skills are astonishing as are her speech articulations. Parents of other children with Down Syndrome are amazed by her.
