Common Misconception
Sawyer is always happy! (aren't all people with Down Syndrome happy?)
This one is ALWAYS spoken by someone who knows NO ONE personally who has Down Syndrome. If they knew anyone with Down Syndrome, they'd realize Sawyer is just like you and me. Are you ALWAYS happy? In general, I'm a happy person by nature. That does NOT mean I'm always happy.
Sawyer in general, has a happy personality. (He's not on the same plane as Turner in the category though. T blows the top off HAPPY) He also gets sad and angry and silly and confused and all the other emotions that we all experience.
Let me tell you, when he gets angry WATCH OUT. He can throw a Stricklin fit with the best of them. He can also snuggle with the best of them...Get silly with the best of them....Laugh at slap stick with the best of them...sing with the 3 Tenors with the best of them (OK...maybe he's not really the best at singing BUT he gives it all he's got)
WHY?
Because he's just like you and me.
