How do you have a touch of Down's?
It's an extra chromosome. Either you've got it or you don't.
He might as well have said 'a bit paraplegic.'

i went through a period a few years back when I would wake up almost every night with a completely dead arm
it was horrible having to use my other arm to lift and move it around

ahh, horrible memoriies
when I was in my late teens; I got so drunk and passed out (in bed thank goodness). When I woke up, I had been on my arm for so long -- I believed I had somehow permanently killed my arm. :D :D

the severity of symptoms is variable
it's not always an extra chromosome, sometimes it's only bits of chromosome 21, rather than the whole thing
