Symptom #3: Short Attention Span
Having at least a reasonable attention span is something that most of us take for granted, but things can be quite different if our attention spans were short. We might have difficulty reading a book or even watching something on TV, while our academic abilities will certainly suffer.
A short attention span is a common symptom among people that have Down syndrome. They will often have difficulty focusing on anything, making it difficult for them to achieve day-to-day tasks. With the right support and coaching, however, the impact of the symptom on the patient’s quality of life can be limited.
