A mother's experience of Downs syndrome - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Carolyn Quinn speaks to Angie Emrys-Jones whose 9-year-old son, Ted, has Downs syndrome.

She tells Carolyn that not all people with Downs syndrome are endlessly happy and loving like the stereotype would suggest.

Angie and a group of other parents in Cornwall have produced a childrens' book to help break down the myths around those with down syndrome, and to promote inclusion in schools. Their book is being given to all 30,000 children starting school in Cornwall in the next four years.
