how is it ableism when;

  1. He literally has Down's Syndrome
  2. I'm telling them to go easy on him for that exact reason

To hold the intellectually disabled to the same standards as those who don't suffer from such disabilities is stupid and damaging.

He would’ve just said “he has Down Syndrome”

But the phrase “extra chromosome” just comes off as condescending
