Reading about this disorder reminds me of my sister. She has Down's Syndrome and is one of my favorite people in the world. She has basically the same strengths and weaknesses as WS -- open and friendly when not anxious, but unable to determine when it is appropriate to trust someone. It's been a blessing having her in my life. She's the linchpin of our family in many ways. I'd probably be more of a black sheep in my family's eyes if it wasn't for always being so excited to see me regardless of conflicting religious beliefs with my family, etc.

The brain is an amazing instrument and it's fascinating (and scary) how it can be wired so differently in edge cases, but deep down, no matter the abnormality, there's a "soul" waiting to connect if you can meet them on their terms.
